Got introduced to Thomas Kohult. He’s also a part of StarBaby Enterprises. While a very talented person, what he mostly deals with is the camera work and filming aspects. Having an extended conversation with him I was able to learn some very good lessons. As a group, we all talked about what part of the process we enjoy the most when it comes to visual media. When it came to my turn, I revealed that I loved the editing part which we call post-production and I also enjoyed pre-production, which is basically the writing and planning process. I avoid production, actual video shooting, because it’s the most unpredictable part of the process and nothing ever goes to the plan. Tom said he understood, but there’s great value in being around during production of a piece, especially as an editor. You’d be able to see first hand how the shots were supposed to look and get a better look at what the director wants to see out of a certain scene. Which is information you can use later on in editing to match exactly what the vision of the director was. This is a good lesson and I’ve definitely volunteered to be part of any future shoots so I can experience it myself. Looking forward to the future!

As for the meeting itself, it was also great seeing the responsibilities of the other interns who are in Marketing and Public Relations. You can see how other people are involved in the process you are and what it means to the overall project. In situations like these, any information is always welcomed.
