DreamWorks Animation Department Technical Director interview questions

I applied online to the Department TD position and was contacted by a recruiter within a week. I was told more specifics about the position and then scheduled an interview with a current Department TD for the next week. That interview asked lots of generic computer science and graphics questions, along with a brain teaser. I was told that I needed more technical experience and to reapply later.

My undergrad college and dreamworks animation had a collaboration, where I was selected for an internship as credits towards the final semester. initial communications were by sending a resume, portfolio, personal statements and letters of recommendation (univ.) to DWA for shortlisting candidates to be interviewed. If selected, this is usually followed up with a technical interview with a Technical Director employee at DWA. A knowledge of core computer science and graphics is really useful. DWA is a great place to work and learn about the animation industry. Colleagues are super helpful and especially as someone completely new to the studio environment, I felt they were extremely helpful and inspiring people to work with.
