Happy May!

Wow, time is going by incredibly quickly. Even though I'm here three days a week sometimes I can't even keep track of what my current assignments are! I'm pretty sure my blog posts have been sporadic and inconsistent but for this post I'd really like to reflect on our introduction to headline news over the last few weeks.

First of all, and I'm not trying to kiss ass by any means, the opportunities us interns have here at FSTV are rare and extremely valuable. Most other internships sound like a lot of shadow time and no hands-on time. I feel so lucky to be able to learn how to use up-to-date equipment and take responsibility for even the most fundamental roles in production. After a few runs through our headline news segments, I've gained an understanding for the complexity of technical aspects that all play a crucial role in the process before reaching a final product. At first, Weston and I learned how to roll in ques during the news pieces, but then I had a chance to direct from the studio floor and began to see the process as a big picture. I think it was easier to communicate with everyone once I understood the process from both the control room and the studio since I knew what would be expected from both parts.

I hope the pledge drive is going well for those of you who are working on it! Once again it just looks like my schedule will conflict with my ability to be much of a help during the next few weeks.

Also, if anyone would like to see what I've been working on at school all semester I would love to see your faces at my junior cinema showcase this Thursday, May 5th from 7:00pm - 8:30pm. It's in the Schomp Theater at my school:

Denver School of The Arts
7111 Montview Blvd.

Denver, CO

See everyone on Wednesday and Friday and hopefully Thursday!
