I've begun work here at the production company. They specialise in TVCs but have a motion pictures department as well, I've been assigned to the production-side, and I'm working with the producers, who are in the same room as the directors. I'll probably be seeing more of TVC-production than anything.
Yesterday was my first day here. There are several interns working here, most of the them are in the Photography department, and those are from Ngee Ann's mass comm. I watched a shoot yesterday involving water splashing behind bottles. An entire set of flexi-glass, lights, wires and flash-thingies were all hooked up in this large room just for a single camera linked to a Mac G5 to get a frontal shot.
The shoot went on for most part of the day.
Another thing to note is that I mistook the address for my workplace and ended up somewhere in Outram. This was embarrassing to the core, considering that it should have been pretty obvious from the start considering the large company sign in the front and the impossibility of certain other factors. Let's just say I was misled by a previous situation.
But yes, back to my workplace. I am seated here now at a round black table with 3 black chairs, another Intern in front of me (she's from California), and there are a few people here at work already but the ones in charge of me aren't. We do not get desks of our own. Caligirl V is reading a book.
There are three other interns here as well, two are year 3 (4?) SADM students, Y and N, another one is their junior (I think) J, but I can't be sure cause she's pretty quiet (she began work yesterday as well). Everyone here is really nice. Do note that this is based on a first day's impression.
The office is also a really nice place. The decor is really - how can I put it - rustic? African? Brown? But it's nice, there are like statues and stuff all over the place. There are ancient Macs placed side by side with table decor, the toilet's really nifty, and the place is nicely lit so that it's shadowy but not dark.
I just noticed that I might be able to wear shorts to work. Every other day my dressing gets more casual. Yesterday was polo tee and jeans, today it's t-shirt and jeans, tomorrow, SHORTS!
Yesterday I was made to look up stock footage for the better part of the afternoon. Hopefully today I get by okay. I don't think there's anything more to say at this point, did I mention that I alighted one stop earlier today and had to make a walk of shame across a walkway-less road with cars zooming by, that was horrible.
I tried the McGriddles thing today. It's actually bad. The point of the sausage is it's savoury taste. Even if some of the maple syrup from the hotcakes with sausage gets onto the sausage, it's only nice because the sausage's taste is directly mixed with the syrup. The pocketed bun confuses the taste entirely, making it somewhat, thick in the mouth to chew. Those pockets of maple syrup drops aren't enough to overpower the bun's tastelessness, and the sausage's taste is nullified by both the bun and the syrup drops.
Tonight is the James Blunt All the Lost Souls concert.
