Internship report part 2
What I liked best at the studio was writing scripts and looking for concepts for the new movie. I had the impression--?? [Do you mean "ability"?] to do a good job then. I also really liked a lot talking to the artsy movie directors; they were really nice, interesting and impressive because of their skills and knowledge in animation. I believe I could improve my skills in digital art and animation by working with them.
But I was disappointed with other aspects. For instance, they told us at the beginning that they would teach us how to animate in Adobe Flash. But despite our requests, they never did it. We also hoped to do stop-motion animation because this studio is well-known for that, but we arrived when they weren’t making a lot of animation, so we only could only make a few sequences in stop-motion. I didn’t particularly like the ambience; sometimes they were really severe on what we did, but some other times they were enthusiastic. I had trouble with teamwork sometimes, because we had to do as the tutor said, even if we all thought it wasn’t a good idea. The policy at the studio--using a lot of trainees without paying them or even writing their names in the credits--made me feel uncomfortable.
Anyway, at the end, they were really grateful to us and I think they were satisfied with our work. They often told us we had good ideas. On the other hand, they didn’t often give us feedback, and they also thought we were not autonomous enough and said we lacked concentration on our tasks. The work placement was monotonous but we got on well with the other trainees. We didn’t have any deadlines, so it wasn’t stressful.
I’m not sure this would be the right job for me. It’d be better if we had either a real hierarchy or a complete teamwork, but both at the same time doesn’t work well, I believe. I wish we'd had more work to do because as there were no deadlines, we spent entire mornings and afternoons doing absolutely nothing. I liked the financial part which made me understand how arty movies can be produced, but I’m not sure of what I want for the future.
Good writing!
