At the Ottawa International Animation Festival this year
EA Games was there looking to hire artists (animators/designers). They wanted at least 5 years experience though, and since I'm not even out of college I didn't bother mingling with them. A couple of my friends got invited to their party though, and got them to look at their portfolios and get opinions, so that was pretty cool!
Also, at the animators picnic I met an animator from
Naughty Dog games, and I hung out with him for most of the day, so that was pretty exciting! ;D
That's the closest I've ever been to anything to do with the behind the scenes for gaming companies. AS for wanting to work for them, if I got offered a ob (hah!) I'd certainly take it, but I probably wont seek it out; not until I get into the animation industry or comic books for a while first at least.
