My Life as a Cartoon Network Intern

In the summer of 2017, my animation journey officially started when I was an intern on Mighty Magiswords and Apple & Onion. I wrote a journal entry about my experience here!

How life is going so far

That’s a lil update on my last year of med school

honestly I miss posting on tumblr , being active on both instagram and tumblr is difficult but I’ll try to manage 😅

Me and my dying ipad are getting that degree together🫠(I have high hopes that'll be able to buy a laptop before I start working on my research:")).

I think I'll take a pause on reading articles and start actually studying for my FINAL finals. I'm also starting my internship in 2 weeks and I don't know if I'm scared or excited. I guess it's both★

I’m enjoying my internship in London. It’s been helping me avoid overthinking about the future as a recent graduate.

I recently turned down a PhD opportunity, and I really hope I’m not making a mistake. I simply cannot imagine spending another four years in the same city, doing physics over and over again. I’m seriously considering pursuing a career in the field of my internship, but I’m scared I’ll be stuck in it for the rest of my life.

I have dreams unrelated to my physics degree, but having a stable job and gaining financial independence is the first fundamental step, right? How do people approach these things.

Chronic illness is so discouraging…every time I have something important going on I get sick.

I wish I had a body that was able to keep up with me.

Last week of my internship! I’m sad it’s ending, so here’s some photos of my desk to commemorate the experience~

Class starts next week and my work schedule is way too packed this week to relax😭

Heya! So as my new semestre comes along, I am currently looking for an internship in the video game industry. Here's some recent examples of my work

If you're in the industry or know someone, I'd appreciate a tip or nod to a potential contact. Trying to get an internship in Chile has been kind of tough so far.

I'm specifically looking to be able to work as an artist, 2D or 3D, doesn't matter really.

I'll take any help I can get!

i really enjoyed you sharing your intern story, but i was also keenly aware while reading that it seems like that trajectory is only possible if you have enough money to jump at the opportunity. things like buying a plane ticket, potentially break and lease, and sign a new one with just a few weeks' notice, and then work minimum wage only a couple of days a week while there? do you have any advice for how you were able to make that financially feasible, or in your opinion is breaking into the industry only possible by having a ton of cash to burn on last minute and under-compensated internships? this is asked without judgement; i do really appreciate your insights, and am asking out of desire to carve this path for myself with limited resources. thank you!

(Note: this reply is regarding this post)

You're 100% right - the way that studios structure internship positions highly favor students that have the financial means to drop everything and move to California for a few months, for little to no compensation. The fact that they don't offer any form of housing assistance or travel stipend makes it incredibly difficult to take on an internship without already having savings ready to go.

I was very thankful and lucky that my parents had saved funds for my higher education, which is how I had money to do the internship, but I totally recognize how much of a privilege that is. I think the fault is on the studios for making these programs inaccessible, especially when it could be an experience with the potential to shape the course of an artist's career.

There are a couple things that could possibly help - the first is that internships already require you to be a student enrolled in college, and it's possible you could try asking your school for financial assistance for the internship. Some schools have special funds set aside for things like this and it's always worth to see if your school does.

The second would be that the pandemic vastly changed the way studios operate, with many of them now allowing full-time or hybrid remote employees. During the beginning of COVID, internships were done virtually, and perhaps it's still possible to ask if the studio is willing to accommodate a remote internship.

My last advice though, would be that being unable to participate in an internship is NOT the end of the world. Getting an internship in the animation industry is WAY harder than getting a job - the vast majority of artists I've worked with never had internships, and many of them transferred into animation from other disciplines like engineering or computer science. The way I got my first job also was not directly through my internship, it was actually through a Dreamworks showrunner discovering my artwork on Twitter and reaching out to me about a job. These days, social media has so much power to connect us to opportunities that would have been extremely hard to get in the past and I would definitely keep that in mind as you continue your journey! Wishing you all the best of luck.

Long time no see! So much happened during the summer holidays - one thing is that I‘ve started an internship at the German Aerospace Center haha. Me. I did that 🤠

Anyways, after that the next and final (??!!) step of my master studies will be the thesis. Where did time go?

How have you been?
