Rhythm & Hues is looking to hire students to work on their upcoming film Alvin and the Chipmunks 3. They have two programs opening up. The first one starts May 16th - June 10th. I cant make this one cause its too close to graduation. The 2nd program starts June 13th to June 8th.
This is a paid apprentice program that includes housing. It's a great opportunity to gain valuable production experience and be trained in the process. Housing is provided for out of state applicants. And applicants have a chance to have a extended long-term freelance stay after evaluation.
In the last program they hired every single applicant to work on the recently released movie Hop. They are very interested in students straight out of college. This is going to be my number one apprentice program to try for.
I got this information from Betty Spence. She has a friend that works here who helped me the information.
