This all is really interesting to me, and I'm curious if I would be eligible for any type of non paid/ paid internship. I am still in high school though, my one problem. I have prior experience doing miscellaneous jobs at CNBC. So I'm really not sure what my options are? If any?

According to the application posted above, if are under 18 and can give them a permit you are fine. He also mentioned it is possible to get the internship with no film set experience, though it is preferred.

i will be relocating to New Orleans after school (next year) and I noticed there is a panavision down there. I assume they do internships as well, just not 2-year?

Hey guys I just saw this topic regarding the two-year training program at Panavision Hollywood. I cannot believe I wasnt aware of this! It looks AWESOME!

This sucks though - I just spoke to someone at Panavision - and I was told that I would not be able to do this as I am not a US citizen (I am british). I am not sure if there is any way around this. I would love to apply for a place!

were do i get the application for the Panavision Two Year Internship. That sounds awesome. But should i give up the AC work i do now and take two years and commit to Panavision.

Jake,

If your in Hollywood your always welcome to stop in and pick up an application. I did attached a application on this form on June 18,2008... Hope you can open this attachement please read my posting above on June 18 you should see an attachement ( I happen to see it on my side of viewing this forum. I only assume you should be able see this attachement. At lease I hope so!). As for quiting any work before starting any program it would be wise to get an application on file and quit any job with notice. Its the professional way of quiting any job on good terms. All the best!

Thanks Mark,

I couldn't open the attachment but i live in West LA so ill just stop by Panavision. How long does it take to go through the interview process?

Once into the first interview with our shipping manager there is a second interview that follows with the prep floor manager. I was just told its fast during the summer months normally. However there are not features filmimng like years before. But our office is busy since we have a large HD department and inventory of HD cameras. So looks like your timeing is really good. So stop reading this forum and get over here to turn in your app.... Good luck and to all who are reading this!

All the best,

One of my teachers told me that to be eligible, even for the two year internship, the applicant must be enrolled full-time in school. But I took a look at the application, as well as the job description, and there wasn't any indication of this requirement. Could anyone tell me if this is true or not? Thank you!

Hi Mark,

I'm a Malaysian and had work as a 2nd camera assistant for about a year. I was wondering if I'm eligible for the two year internship in Panavision? I had work a lot with Arri, Red, Canon cameras, etc etc but never Panavision, and I'm really interested to work with Panavision.

Would Panavision hire foreigners? What about work permit? Under the application of employment for Panavision "If hired, can you present evidence of your U.S. citizenship or proof of your legal right to live and work in this country?" Will that be a problem for me to work in Panavision?

I won't mind working even for really low wages just to work with Panavision, I could find a place to stay near Panavision as soon as possible. I'm really interested with the 2 years internship program in Panavision.

Cheers,
Esther Tan

Panavision as a company has no problem hiring foreigners. The problem is that in order to get an internship you need to be enrolled as a student with a college/university and be receiving credit. Most student visas also stipulate that you cannot get a job, your purpose for being in the country is to study and learn the culture not to join the work force. I'm not sure if, because of this, the Hollywood office has a policy saying that they just wont hire an intern studying abroad despite checking that students papers,
