Internships with SIT Productions

UPDATED: Just to say that the extra hours gained on this Internship will be used towards my personal development hours!

I have some great news!  I've completed my Internship hours!  For my last few hours I Interned with Sit Pro.  Our first task was to help out on Fungi's music video for their single 'My Friend'.



I helped out with Art Department but ended up doing other things like watching gear during the shoot.  My Art department contribution included sourcing a saw, using cardboard to level the phonebox, and finding the correct screws.


There were lot of Interns on this shoot so there wasn't a huge amount to do but we were there as an extra pair of hands in case they were needed.  This shoot emphasized for me that sometimes even if you don't feel that you are doing much small contributions are still valuable and help keep things running smoothly.

This is the final music video.




After this I worked with SIT Pro on a TVC.

Once again I helped out with Art Department and was also an extra at times.  My first job was to source relevant books from the library to place into the bookshop scene. 

I also tracked down Laptops and Stationary for the classroom scenes and did other odd jobs.

I felt like I contributed more in to the TVC then to Fungi's music video, probably because of the smaller crew.  It's really nice to see a good crew working together and how things flow.

As another benefit it was really nice to have a chance to get out an about around Southland and see places that I wouldn't normally have a chance to.    

On a more disappointing note, I always forget to get photos while on set :(
