Full Time Unpaid Internship
The Walt Disney Animations Studios Technology Department develops software for our animated films. Software Engineers work closely with production users to create tools for all aspects of the animation process as well as production tracking tools. Software Engineers on the Information Services team work primarily on tools involved with the business operations of the company.
Project Overview
The goal of this internship is to develop a second-generation version of an existing tool that is heavily used by production. The tool is used for drafting elements into the shots of a production following each screening to allow filmmakers to track, organize, and estimate the cost of thousands of elements and shots in each film. The existing tool has become less functional since the Phonon tool is no longer functioning properly in recent versions of Redhat. We'd like to redesign the tool to function with our current playback tool, RV.
Responsibilities
• Learn about interacting with RV and Shotgun from Python
• Design and code a second-generation version of the drafting tool that uses RV
• Demonstrate the tool to the stakeholders
• Take direction and work independently with support and mentoring
• Document progress throughout the internship with final presentation at the end
Requirements
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Strong Python and QT programming skills
• Majoring in Computer Science, Mathematics, or User Interface/Interaction Design programs
• Experience or relevant coursework with databases or GUI programming Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with interface design
• Experience with playback tools such as Phonon or RV
