Lighting and Grip Cinespace

Abigail Schindler

The specific learning objectives that were goals for me in this internship were to gain a familiarity with equipment literacy, to feel confident helping the team with everyday responsibility, and to learn how the Lighting team operates.

I have had such a great time learning so much at this internship. There is so much knowledge to gain. On my first week I was mostly dealing with cables. I learned so many names and specifics that I brought a notebook with me to the next days to write down this information. It is so good to see what people are talking about, but also handle it yourself and touch it. I learned a huge amount of information just on my first day, and was instantly impressed with the intricacy’s of the job that this team does.

My second week I handled lights and grip equipment. I learned how important it is to be a good team. The Lighting and Grip team works so hard and is constantly tackling another project, running into issues, and reworking the problems into better solutions. They are handling a million things at once, and yet still have such positive and helpful attitudes towards each other and myself. I was so impressed with how much knowledge they hold, and how quickly they are all able to problem solve. It is such a joy to intern for people who are so passionate about what they do, and want to share that passion with me and the team every day.

I did not take any pictures as I signed an NDA and also am working with my hands but if I could paint a picture with words- I would describe it as vast, intricate, and exciting. There are so many things to learn about in the warehouse and it amazes me that I am only scratching the surface.
