Misc: Disney Animation seeking Lighters


I just bumped into this job offer at Linkedin and considering this is a blog about lighting I thought someone might be interested.
The last two Disney films, Tangled and Wreck-it-Ralph are visually stunning and it has a lot to do with the talent of their lighters.

We are looking for artists who thrive in a team environment.  This includes the ability to share ideas and also to be open to ideas within the team.
