Last week I had my first day as an intern at Free Speech TV. It was pretty exciting, as I was able to jump right into hands on work. Started off by sitting in on the morning Newswire production schedule meeting, and from there teamed with Mark to film for "Your Voice Here" downtown. We asked people how they felt about the US senate continuing subsidies for domestic oil companies, and whether the system for determining those subsidies is flawed. We picked out the best handful of these responses and handed them over to Antoinette for use on that day's Newswire. I thought they turned out pretty well, despite our difficulty getting many participants. It was raining toward the end of our 16th street shoot, so we had to work with only about a dozen responses. Later on the same day, I operated camera 1 for the Newswire broadcast, which was relatively straightforward, but very exciting. It's cool when on the first day of your internship you can get so involved in the process, and so far Free Speech has been a great experience. I really look forward to learning more about the ins and outs of FSTV's daily production process.

We are happy to have you Jackson! I glad you got to have some one on one experience out in the field. And Mark is a great teacher. We will get you trained on some more editing when I can't give you a lesson. Let's pin down your schedule on Wednesday. Glad you are enjoying yourself!
