Here is a great video interview from The Economist with Ed Catmull.  When Clayton and I first sat down and started talking about ReCinema, Pixar and some of Ed’s talks were a source of inspiration and guidance.  At the time, we had only referenced a couple of articles.  Its interesting, inspiring, and exciting to watch more of these talks, with more and more information revealed about the Pixar process, and how similar our approaches are, and there are things Ed says that reminds me that we need to double-check some of our assumptions, but more importantly, for me anyone, is how much they still continue to inspire me.

If you really want to know what ReCinema is about (and I mean ReCinema, not any particular project), watch this video.

Graphics Novellist? Animator? Illustrator? Sketch Artist? Storyboard Artist? Whatever you want to call them, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that we NEED YOU!!

We are in dire need of an artist who can draw quickly (rather than perfectly) and who is competent conveying a story within a series of those drawings. Don’t worry, you’ll still get a chance to fill in the details and color your masterpiece, but that will come later. Right now, we just need someone who can quickly rough out relateable sketches on the order of one every 3-5 minutes. While not necessary, it would be ideal if you live along the Utah, Wasatch-Front area. We will need a commitment of 5-10 hours a week, and students are strongly encouraged to apply.  This will a great portfolio and experience-building opportunity for the right individuals. If you or someone you know may be a good fit, please email us a resume and include examples of your work.

ReCinema is a group of independent filmmakers who work regularly in a truly collaborative environment, on a broad range of projects in a variety of genres.  We aim to discover and develop new methodologies for effective story development, film production, marketing and distribution.
