as you do your work on time,
you shouldn’t have any problem
with your colleagues.
Was it hard working with pro-
fessionals as a student?
Sometimes it was hard, since
people here can be very de-
manding of the final product
you come up with (editing
videos, writing articles, retou-
ching photos or shooting
videos), but I personally get
even more motivated by this
kind of attitude, so it wasn’t as
stressful as it can get for other
people.
Who is the most interesting
person you met during your
internship?
Since right now the big project
in the studio for the past three
months is the new remake of
Hellboy, I had the amazing
opportunity to talk for a bit with
David Harbour (Hopper in
Stranger Things), Ian McShane
(Blackbeard in Pirates of the Ca-
ribbean; Mr. Wednesday in
American Gods) and Milla Jovo-
vich (Alice in Resident Evil)
smiled at me down the corridor!
Needless to say, there are
always interesting people to
spot around here.
What is the most interesting
thing your learned?
I’ve learned some new things
about film production, since I’ve
been on set a couple of times,
but since I have a lot of previous
experience in filmmaking, I
can’t really say that it was very
educational, but it was still nice.
However, I learned a lot about
how to deal with Photoshop,
since I had to edit prop photos
for an online catalogue of props
that the studio is trying to put
together.
Were the assignments you did
connected to what you lear-
ned at NHTV?
I had to write some articles for
the webpage of the company, I
had to assess scripts that come
into the studio (since they need
to be evaluated based on the
studio criteria before they get
approved), I did some inter-
views about some company
organized events (such as a gra-
duation of the actor class that’s
been done here), I did some
event management as well (we
had two major events, one of
which was ComicCon), right
now I am editing photos and
until the end of my internship I
will have to shoot some promos
for the studio, as well as edit a
Christmas promo video. So you
can say that I’ve covered nearly
everything production related
we have studied in NHTV so far.
Do you have any tips for the
upcoming interns?
Don’t be afraid to take risks and
be patient until the right oppor-
tunity comes. Since the work-
flow at a film studio is very un-
certain - sometimes it can be
months before a large produc-
tion comes in, it can get a bit
boring, but don’t worry! Be nice
to everyone, offer to help and
make a good impression, so you
become
more
memorable.
That’s how you will get people
to notice your qualities and call
you to work on different pro-
jects.
