In the office this week, I worked on editing audio in Audition through the same cut and clean process I shared last week. I also met with a teammate Jackie to discuss my work on the Breaking Out Files training. After this meeting, I was cleared to starting breaking out files for billable projects.
On Thursday of this week, we had a shoot on site in New Hope, Pennsylvania. At this shoot, actors read off of a script for some dialogue scenes for a client video. We also shot b-roll scenes that will be under voiceover that is recorded in the production studio at my office. I was an active member of this shoot, constantly handling equipment and doing slate before each dialogue take. This was my first time on a shoot, and it definitely was an experience. It was a fast-paced shoot with no breaks except lunch over 11 hours. In the day after the shoot i discussed the experience, with my supervisor who said that 11 hours is a relatively-short shoot. He told that his longest shoot was 28 hours long. I was shocked.
I also attended two meetings this week, one being the regular production meeting and another being a meeting with the creative team as they went over a storyboard. It was interesting to the see the creative process as they come up with the ideas and script for the videos. The videos would not happen without the ideas of these team members.
Outside of work this week, on Friday I watched the 76ers game at a local restaurant with some friends I have made in my neighborhood. We were so excited after they won, I may be a 76ers fan for life now. The more time I am spending in Philadelphia, the more I wish I was here permanently. I am considering my life after graduation, and moving back to the city with friends from Juniata as my roommates.
