Internship.
This Friday at work was nothing ordinary. We started out in the morning going to both of the Warner Brothers Museums on the lot. It was me, and three other interns along with both of the PA's. I think after time spent outside the office, we all are a little bit closer. I wasn't able to go to the WB Studio Tour with the rest of the program a few weeks back since I was sick, so I was really happy to still get the experience while I am out here. My favorite things from the tour would have to be: HP costumes and props, the set of FRIENDS, all the super heroes costumes, and learning more about how certain movies were filmed using green screen. Like in Lord of the Rings, they made Gandalf taller by having him film everything separately in a green screen and manipulate the scene via camera tricks and angles.
We didn't get to finish the museum though, because we had to make it back in time for our 11AM speaker: Charlie McSpadden. He is the creative exec at Material - a film and TV production company. The interest part about Charlie is that he used to do on set PA work - and it sounded amazing. He's worked on Shame, Damsels in Distress, The Great Gatsby, and lots more. The stories he had to share about being on set were funny and made the job seem exciting. Although he did say sometimes, it's a lot of waiting around on set, at all hours of the day.
After lunch, I was given a script to read and as I began reading it, I realized early that it was one of the good ones. BUT, I was cut short when our PA's asked us if we wanted to go back to the WB Museum to finish it up, and this time the creative exec came with us. Again, I think we all got closer. Especially when we had to explain to him how Pokemon Go works since he never played Pokemon as a kid.
By the time we finished at the Museum, it was time to go home. I spent the weekend finishing up coverage for the script I got. I thought it was definitely something that should be seriously considered, so I wanted to spend my time on the coverage and make it the best it could be. Maybe it'll turn into something one day.
And that was Friday.
