Being a part of this internship has challenged me in many ways. I’ve had to work on my time-management, organization, prioritization and self discipline. I’ve grown a bit better at communicating with team members and asking for help as well as feedback when I need it. I usually try to find all the answers to my questions on my own, but I’ve learned that it’s okay for me to ask for assistance when I need it. I am not expected to know how to do everything, especially not as an intern.
Another part of myself that has grown during this internship is my skillset. I’ve learned to use After Effects more efficiently for video editing. I have struggled using it in previous classes, but I can say that I’ve gotten the hang of it (at least the essential parts of the program) during this internship. Although, a lot of the work process involves recycling templates, slides and assets in After Effects from previous projects, instead of making them from scratch. That is something I wish I had the opportunity to try and learn how to do more of. Overall I enjoyed getting to practice motion design and learning about professional industry methods while doing so.
