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.
