Randy Nelson talk

Here's a video I saw recently and wanted to share.

"Randy Nelson, head of the in-house Pixar University, gives a 10 minute talk that offers insight into character traits the studio looks for when it hires employees. One of the primary factors is to hire people who are interested rather than interesting. Also, collaboration does not simply mean cooperation, but it means amplification—people who bring separate depth to the problem and bring breadth that gives them interest in the entire solution." - cartoon brew
