My Internship at the Trailblazers

Well my internship is done and I am no longer everyone's best friend with the Blazer-ticket-hook-ups. It was a fun and labor-intensive journey working in the broadcast floor of the Rose Garden. All and all it was probably the most diverse internship one could have asked for. No coffee runs or filing papers; instead I got to do some very hands on things with quite a lot of freedom.

Here's a brief list of what I did in those 12 weeks:

-developed countless in-arena and broadcast graphic animations

-ran camera for player/coach interviews

-edited highlight reels/commercials/dance-squad auditions for an MTV reality show

-acted as production hand for a location commercial shoot

-acted in commercial

-donned the mascot uniform for a role in another commercial

-created (from start to finish) my own "ask a player" half-time entertainment

I had to present my internship to my instructor and other interns. Here is a video I put together for that presentation. It's a little disjointed without my presentation's segways, but it will still give you a good idea of where I was working. and who I was working with.
