Mackinnon and Saunders do take interns, but you need to be up to a good standard so that you can keep up with production.
What are they looking for?
General skills.
Specific skills.
Teamwork.
Passion!
How to get there.
Just keep asking.
Volunteer your time for nothing.
Persistance.
You have to love what you do. You can't half heartedly become a stop motion animator.
Get your foot in the door and make a good impression.
