How To Find an Animation Internship

How do you find an internship in the animation industry? It's a question we often get asked here at Escape Studios.

Internships can be an important stepping stone to a career in animation.  If an internship goes well, it might lead to a job, and even if it doesn't, it still looks good on a graduate CV.

The reality is that the process of finding an internship is very similar to the process of finding a job; it requires a similar level of care, preparation and commitment.
