Day Four at New Perspective

Hello all! Day Three was pretty slow, but my fellow interns and I conducted our research on local non-profit organizations that deserved a free promotional video. We made a list of 6 and brainstormed some ideas for each one. I also did some graphic design work for one of the staff for a few hours.

On Thursday, Day Four, our group called some of the organizations and we narrowed our list to three. It was a lot easier than we thought it would be, we got a lot of work done, and we worked really well as a team. Afterwards, we checked out one of the DVX100 cameras and conducted a few experiments around the area, practicing with the camera's features and recording whatever interested us for about an hour. We will probably be using the Varicam when we record the footage for the video, but it was good to work with a camera I hadn't used before, and we got some great footage.

Overall, the first week was slow, but at the same time, productive. We as a group are just getting used to everyone's styles of workflow, and learning what each of us is comfortable doing at every stage of the production. We feel each other out pretty intuitively, and so far, it's going really well (which of course is essential when working together on any kind of big project).

Next week, one of the New Perspective staff is going to give us a full tour of Avid on Adrenaline, which I have worked with, but my group partners have not, so it should be a pretty good learning experience. On Tuesday, we will meet again at the studio and call the organization that we have chosen to give them the good news. We will also start setting some ideas in stone for the production of the video.
