About the Role & Program:

ILM Immersive produces premium, story‐based immersive entertainment experiences for the following real‐time rendered platforms: Immersive Cinema, Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, Theme Parks, and New Media. The ILM Immersive FX/Technical Art Intern will utilize fine art and technical art skills to contribute to the production of experiences by integrating with the development team to assist in the creation of shaders, visual effects, tools, and other more complex technical aspects of crafting art assets.

We’re on a mission: building the future. We’re working in this crazy‐fun, hybridized fusion of entertainment where exceptionally high‐end (previously pre‐rendered) VFX meets interactive, immersive stories. That spectacular mash‐up results in unparalleled real‐time worlds where we endeavor to raise the bar for experiences and visuals as high as we possibly can. As if making compelling movies and games wasn’t hard enough in isolation! Don’t get us wrong, we’re not complaining about the challenges. That’s literally why we come to work: It is our great fortune to be standing at the crossroads ‐ unconstrained by a specific title or universe ‐ in a collaborative, highly creative, and highly technical work environment. If that sounds interesting, jump in. We still believe in picking up hitchhikers.
