Today was my first day as an intern at Picture This Production services. I went and saw Nathan who is the one I was in contact with to get this internship. Nathan is the manager of the equipment department. He informed me that they are starting a new internship model and I am the first intern to be doing it. The new model is that each week I will rotate between the 3 departments of PixThis. The first week I am in the live show department the second week I am in the production stage department and the third week I am in the equipment rental shop, which I will refer to as the "cage". Then rinse and repeat. So my first day in the live show department was pretty mellow. I met Jo, who is the live show events manager, Gary who does freelance work for them and Ben who is on his last month of interning with the live show department, he also was in the integrated media program at MHCC for video production. It was a pretty quick day. Jo asked me what my end goal was in the industry and I told him DP work. Gary and Ben showed me around the warehouse. Gary, Ben and I ran a speaker and some other boxes to the Lloyd Regal Cinema for a conference they were having there. After that they said I could go home because it was a slow day. I went to the cage and asked if I could help out at all, but they already had two other interns there, so I was freed. It was a brief, but good first day. I am excited for all the opportunities this internship will bring me!
