Reflection - Final Thoughts

This semester has been an interesting one. From the get go, I was forced into an uncomfortable situation. But I was able to rise from the ashes regardless of my circumstances and I can honestly say that I am so grateful. Interning at a non-profit organization that has an amazing vision, an amazing staff and amazing supporters is more than I could ever dream of.

In the beginning, I had to change/cut my hours at my 9-5 job and I was worried about not getting paid. But just by being in the office at Make-A-Wish, being surrounded by a great team and seeing the fruits of my labor was PRICELESS. The money did not matter to me. Never did I ever feel dreadful about showing up.

I’ve always thought to myself: “wow, this is what it really feels like... doing what you love.” The fact that I was using my talent and skill every time I was in the office was mind-blowing. Seeing my work being posted on their social media accounts, emails and events was an all-time high.

I can confidently say that I’ve found my niche with videography and interning at Make-A-Wish helped manifested this.

Here’s a link to the Thanksgiving video :)

I think something must’ve went wrong with the audio in the beginning. But overall, I am glad I was able to complete this video on time!

Week 11 - To the Beat

Thursday - November 8, 2018

Got into the office and realized I forgot my earphones. I got settled in, talked with my supervisor and looked through my Thanksgiving video selects. The communications supervisor told me that we received three videos to put into the video. I looked them over and they weren’t of great quality. They could be used in a social media post though! I brought the selects and started to slice and dice. The copy really helped me a lot but what I needed next was music. I spent some time going through a loyalty-free subscription that I have, listening and getting a feel of what I was going for. Upbeat? Inspirational? Cinematic? I chose a song right in between. Once I found the right one (took me about an hour or so honestly), I was able to start editing the footage to the beat. I spent the whole day, tirelessly working on the video and getting it done... The fact that I was so pressed for time and the duration of the video had to be less than a minute, really made it difficult for me to create. It was weird though, because I wasn’t like this before... I think it was because of outlying factors (school *ahem*) I felt a little burnt out... But I know that shouldn’t be an excuse.

Friday - November 9, 2018

I hit my hours today and I didn’t even know it. I was calculating everything and was so surprised when I saw that I was well over my hours! Time flies when you’re having fun! I spent this day refining the Thanksgiving video. Surprisingly, all of the hard work that I put in the day before really paid off. The video was nearly done! I ran it by a couple departments to see what they thought and they absolutely loved it. They said it gave them chicken skin. the only suggestion was to cut down the copy, which I agreed on. I felt like it was too “wordy” and it kind of took away from the footage. I went in and fixed it, I was on fire! I was so happy to have finished it and I was so glad to have done this video before I left. Once the final Thanksgiving video was done, I had to cut Selena’s video down to a minute so it could be posted onto Instagram. Before I left, I briefly talked with my supervisor about my last day and he was sad. He didn’t want to talk about it at all (lol). We didn’t really go in depth about my last day because I knew I had to come back. I still had some projects assigned to me and I don’t mind going in to finish them. My supervisor also left for a holiday trip and I didn’t want to leave before he came back.

Week 9 - Selects, Interviews, B-Roll.

Thursday - November 1, 2018

I used this day to sift through all footage from every wish that took place in 2018 (fiscal year, so some of them took place in 2017). There was a lot to go through, so I made “bins” for each child. Selects, Interviews, B-Roll. I made sure I selected footage that related to the copy that the comms. supervisor gave me. This is what it said: “This season, we’re thankful for you…The volunteers, community supporters, leaders, medical partners, and donors…the magic makers. You have sparked imagination…delivered strength….and inspired hope…for keiki across Hawaii. Together, we can continue to transform lives…one wish at a time. Mahalo and Happy Thanksgiving!#30daysofthanks”

This was a very lengthy process, so it took me all day! But by the time I was done for the day, I had a good amount of footage to work with and everything was in place to start working on.

Week 8 - Circles

Thursday - October 25, 2018

I settled into the office and I immediately started working. I felt like I was falling behind on my projects because of the minor set-backs. My computer was still not connected to the shared drive due to the system updates so I had to move to another one. I went back into the G-Drive to make sure everything was still where they needed to be (traumatized lol). I also tidied up my new area because that’s the only way my brain is able to function, open space and room to breathe. My agenda for the day was to upload the one-minute Swing for Wishes video, fix the sponsorship video and to finalize Selena’s video.

Since I got the feedback, I went home and re-recorded the dialogue for the sponsorship video. This new computer that I was working on could connect to the shared drive but it did not have Premier Pro so I needed to download it. Once it was done uploading, I found the sponsorship video on the G-Drive but when I tried to open it in Premier, I couldn’t work on it because Premier wasn’t updated to the newer version. So, I think I spent maybe about the first hour or so just running around in circles. The update took longer than I expected so I stayed productive and started to come up with Thanksgiving video concepts.

I found it a little challenging to be creative at that given moment, so I reached out to my supervisor and the communications supervisor. We sat down and talked about wish kids and events that we could include in the video from 2017-2018. I also thought it’d be great to add interviews but we didn’t have enough footage so the communications supervisor went ahead and reached out to a couple of wish families to see if they’d want to do iPhone testimonials. Due to the schedules of the wish families, this method would work best.

By the time we were done chatting, the update was done and I got to work. I added the new dialogue and slowed some of the slides down. By the time I finished, it was time for me to go.

Friday - October 26, 2018

I knew that I had my work cut out for me so once I got in, I started finishing up Selena’s Video. All that was left to do was fix the audio levels and add some text that explained what her wish was and where she went. Before I exported, I reviewed it one last time with the supervisors and they asked to add a snippet or soundbite from one other person that played a vital role in this wish. Because the footage was shaky and the audio wasn’t that great, I really needed to work some magic. In order to do this, I used the interview footage and put another video over it. This time, everyone came over to watch what I put together. They absolutely loved it because of the mixture of dogs and a wish. Super heartwarming. I finally finished after all of the set backs and sent it out.

I sat down with my supervisor again to chat about the Thanksgiving Video. I still felt like I needed more direction, so I requested to have some copy. The communications supervisor was more than happy to send me what they’ve made for a Thanksgiving email. Once I received it, I could finally shape and form this video.

For lunch, the office threw together a potluck and everyone except the interns took part in a pumpkin carving challenge! It was fun to see their different designs. Then, they put the interns in charge of judging which pumpkin was the best. They made it very hard for us to choose because 1. we’re the interns and we don’t want any bad blood (lol) 2. they had presentations! They were so great! There was dancing, music, and stories! They all had an explanation!

By the time all of this was done, I had to leave for the day.

Week 7 - Might want to grab a drink and take a seat for this one...

Tuesday - October 16, 2018

I usually only go into the office on Thursday and Fridays only due to school and working a part-time job, but this week was different. After hearing the news about having my work on the news (lol does that make sense?) I was so excited. My work has never been recognized like this before and it’s a pretty crazy feeling. It is a great reminder for when I’m feeling uncreative, low, and stressed. It reminds me why I do what I do and why I started in the first place.

Anyways... I went in an extra day for about four hours because the news stations needed a 30 second cut by the end of the week AND I still wasn’t able to relocate any files! I wanted to be sure that everything looked good and was finalized but it was hard when all of my files were wiped. I also wanted to make sure I sent it in on time versus only having Thursday to work on it and Friday to send it in. One lesson I have learned as being a creative: ALWAYS prepare for the worst! Give yourself enough time, room for error, room for improvement and changes, have back-ups, etc.

After an excruciating hour or so of relocating files and putting them in a safe place (external G-Drive), I finally started polishing the 30 second edit. Once I was done, I made sure it was SAVED IN A SAFE PLACE and sent it over to communications to proof. Instead of saving things to the shared drive, I saved my files on an external G-Drive (which is what I wish we were doing from the beginning).

Right away, they approved it and got it ready to send out. Apparently, Ohana Broadcasting will be using the edit as well but just the audio! My voice is FAMOUS! (*ahem* No photos please *ahem* lol).

Thursday - October 18, 2018

Got in around the same time as usual and go right to work. The original edit of the Swing for Wishes video was mainly for the people at the event but the staff loved it so much that they wanted a one-minute edit to post on their social media platforms and emails. I went through the footage one more time and picked out the more important ones. I also cut down the interview at the end, it was kind of lengthy. The footage was still pretty shaky and I wanted to fix this so I finally learned how to quickly do this in post-process by using the “Warp Stabilizer” effect in Premier Pro. I had to turn it down at some points because it looked too robotic. I needed to work really efficiently with this one because I still needed to work on Selena’s video (refer to Week 6 - Part Two). For some reason, I was in such a powerful mood (working efficiently and feeling creative) and I didn’t want to lose that fire so after I finished the Swing for Wishes edit, I sent it off and was done with it. Then I jumped right into reviving Selena’s vid.

Since I already put the right footage back into their “bins” last Friday, I started chipping away on Premier Pro. Initially, I had no idea as to how I was going to attack this project. This time, I felt like I had a more creative perspective. I added more soundbites from interviews from Selena’s wish day and more B-Roll. I also felt as though I could save more footage because I knew how to make them look more stabilized.

Friday - October 19, 2018

I finally got feedback from the sponsorship video I made for Jingle Rock Run. There was a mistake in the dialogue and that I needed to slow down the transitions between each picture of the vendors. But turns out, the video was already sent out! I was so upset. I wish they ran it by me or at least my department before sending it out to clients. I wish there was more communication or a quicker response in feedback. When I sent out the first proof, I expected them to look over it ASAP. But, I guess there were other priorities. When I found this out, I stayed cool, composed and collected... But, I had to go for a walk. Because at that moment, I felt embarrassed. Like, clients already have seen it! And it was MY work! I walked down to Fort Street Mall and back, grabbed an iced tea and felt so much better. When I got back into the office, I was ready to work.

I couldn’t record the audio at the office because all of the noise, so I just fixed the speed of the transitions. Once this was done, I went back to do Selena’s video.

It’s hard to keep an agenda sometimes. Especially in the creative field. Something will always come up. It’s all in the matter of identifying the problem and creating a solution in the most effecient way possible. It takes practice to move about these things with grace, but I’m definitely getting better.

Week 6 Part Two - Right back

Friday - October 12, 2018

After I completed my daily routine of walking to get coffee and settling in, I turned on my computer and saw my worst fear. Everything from the desktop was wiped, meaning all of my files (edits, selects, EVERYTHING) was gone. My computer was not even connected to the shared drive so I did not have access to anything. I realized that my footage from Selena’s video was missing and I was NEARLY DONE with it 😭. I didn’t feel super upset about it but I was a little annoyed. I’m not in the office everyday, only Thursdays and Fridays so I’m not sure if I missed a meeting about the system wipe. I just wish it was communicated better.

But! That’s what happens with technology some times. Lesson learned. Never ever ever save anything to the computer, always save it to an external drive.

So, I literally started from scratch with Selena’s video. Sat and sifted through almost ALL FOOTAGE again. I tried to remember the cuts and transitions that I made just so I can get a feel for it again. I took an early lunch just so I could come back and work on it more.

Before I knew it, my time was up for the day. But just before I left, I received some good news that made my day feel so much better. Hawaii News Now and KHON2 News wants to use my Jingle Rock Run video!! How awesome!!!! I am still stoked about this and I am very very proud. With this being said, they requested a shorter version so I put that on my agenda for next week.

The 12th annual Swing for Wishes was a huge success! Mahalo to our partner, Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa! http://hawaii.wish.org/ways-to-help h...

Here’s the end product of my same day edit! :) I also cut the clip down to 1 minute for social media use.

Week 6 Part One - Swinging into action

Thursday - October 11

I have been preparing for this day since I started interning here. In partnership with the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort, Make-A-Wish annually puts on a golf tournament called Swing for Wishes; this year makes it their 12th year. This tournament helps raise funds for local wish kids across the state. The tournament took place at the Hawaii Prince Golf Course in Ewa Beach so I did not have to travel far. We’ve been talking about this event for a while and since they finally have a video editor on board (me lol), they asked if I could do a same day edit. Trying not to think of the pressure that has been put on, I went in and killed it.

I arrive there at around 9am with my camera and steadicam, immediately look for people I work with and receive my agenda. I was shooting video alongside my supervisor and another worker from the office that has awesome video experience. We started filming detail shots and just basically roaming around getting action shots. Very nice and candid. The energy was high, the kids were pumped, and many golfers started rolling in. There was music, coffee, and LOTS of food vendors (Agu Ramen, Honolulu Cookie Company, Malibu Rum Drinks, etc).

So we keep shooting footage of the hustle and bustle of setting up for about three hours. Then the kids, families and volunteers gathered around to send off the golfers. Once the golfers were off, I put my camera down and picked my laptop up.

I had my supervisor and the other shooter give me their SD cards so that they could dump all of their footage for me to edit. While everyone was out doing their own thing, I sat behind my laptop to edit. I felt like I didn’t even blink. I grabbed some lunch and worked as effecient as I could. The weather was so nice and I felt like I needed a nap. Running around and carrying a steadicam for five hours straight is not easy, it felt like I just completed an intense workout. But! I still powered through.

My edit process went a little something like this:

Sift through footage before uploading (to help the efficiency in uploading)

Put footage into different folders based on shooters

While everything is uploading, I start looking for music

Open up Premier Pro and start importing media

While all of this is going on, I am storyboarding in my mind to come up with what goes where

I drop media into timeline chronologically based on how the event went

Edit til perfection

Then after three intense hours, TA-DA! I DID IT! Everyone was so hyped and impressed because this was the FIRST TIME Swing for Wishes has ever had a same day edit. Yes, I was very proud and I am still high off the praise. I exported everything onto my supervisor’s laptop because I couldn’t stay much longer. While the footage was exporting, the marketing director for the Hyatt Regency came over and talked story. She asked me what I was going to school for and she seemed very interested. I raised an ear and my supervisor gave her very good feedback about me. I felt like he was giving me away :( but no, he was just giving me good praise and making sure that I was open to any opportunities that could help me in the future. So, I gave her my information but I haven’t heard from her yet....

Week 5 - Bins and System Updates

Thursday - October 4, 2018

Over the week that I was away, I was able to record the dialogue that needed to be added to the Jingle Rock Run sponsorship video. When I got into the office, I put my coffee down, settled into my desk area and jumped right into the day’s agenda. Since I’m keeping the consistency with the regular promotional video, all I needed to do was move some stuff around. The idea for this video was to get more sponsors to sign up. So I started cutting down footage and adding content that showed food vendors, businesses like Air Canada and Honolulu Cookie Company, etc. Once that was done, I sent it to the shared drive so that all departments that collaborated on the video could see. While I waited for feedback, I saw that my supervisor and another intern were going over the designs of the 2019 calendar. I walked on over just to listen to the dialogue that was being exchanged. I love when people talk design 🤤. It was nice to listen and observe their creative process.

I did not get any feedback about the sponsorship video yet, so I started working on Selena’s wish video again. I went through and “sifted” again, just to make sure I wasn’t missing any good footage. The song Extraordinary Magic by Ben Rector was selected by my supervisor to be added to the video. I listened to it maybe about five times just to help get my creative juices flowing. I honestly got so emotional that I texted my boyfriend just to tell him to listen to it.

I finally felt like the wheels were turning, so I started to make folders (before, during wish reveal, after, and interviews). I asked my supervisor what the timeline was on the day of the wish just so I could get more structure. Then from there, I placed what I sifted through and placed them into the right “bins”. I always feel like my thoughts and ideas are jumbled in my brain, so I like to do this to at least stay organized with my files. This is something that I probably won’t do if I was pressed for time (like same day edits for weddings, etc). But it is definitely a big part of my work flow.

Friday - October 5, 2018

The office was closed for system updates.

It is also so crazy to see how many people interact with the Instagram page!

Week 4 - It’s all good!

Thursday - September 27, 2018

I got amazing feedback from everyone in the office. They did not know who narrated it and when I said it was me, they were impressed! It made me feel really great. Once I got the OK for the video, I made the Instagram stories sequences. All I needed to do was change the sequence size in the sequence settings on Premier Pro, then I moved/scaled all of the clips so they fit perfectly. Once I finished resizing and making everything look good (remember, check... then double check), I spliced the whole time line into four, 15 second pieces. Then, I sent it off to be posted.

Like I said before, the multimedia department works pretty much with EVERY department. So, what that being said, the events department suggested that we made a special video/slideshow that only focused on sponsors/sponsorships. Things like masses of people, banners, tents, etc. They also loved the narration so much that they wanted me to narrate AGAIN! I asked them to give me the words and numbers or what they think I should say. I have yet to record! I plan on finishing and sending it off to the departments next Thursday.

Since I was waiting for the script and once I finished pulling my selects for the sponsorship video, I started working on the next project that was assigned to me: Selena’s wish reveal and wish day!

I sifted through all of the footage, and yet again, the footage was very shaky and it was really windy on the wish reveal day. But, it’s all good! I can make it work!

Friday - September 28, 2019

I didn’t get the script for the sponsorship video yet so I put all of the footage and photos in place on Premier Pro. I’m using the same music and graphics as the Promo video to keep the consistency. Now that everything is in order and matches the music, all that’s left is the dialogue. I finally got the email that had the right wordings/script at the end of the day.

Once I got all of my questions answered (how long should the sponsorship video be? is this directed to prospected sponsors only?), I looked back at what I had on Premier Pro and hit “Command + S” (my best friend). I will go back next week to add the dialogue and voila!

I started to work on Selena’s video again. I also looked up ways to remove wind noises from videos, and let me tellll youuu!! I learn something new everyday, and this blew my mind. I went deeper into editing the audio and learned how to change different gains/frequencies/etc. I still need a little more practice though..

One of the biggest challenges with editing and my internship so far, is working with the footage that is given to me. They’re good, don’t get me wrong, but still pretty hard to edit and use. For example, they interviewed the wish kid’s parents after revealing her wish, and the audio was so blown out by the wind. It would’ve been awesome to hear what they had to say!

But, like always, it’s all good. I can make it work!

I can’t wait to go to events/wish reveals/etc so I can use my equipment and give Make-A-Wish good quality content! It’s all about giving back :)

#internship #cm390 #hawaii

Week 3 - Check, then double check again.

Thursday - September 20, 2018

I like to get in early to settle in and review what I have in-store for the day.. I finished the dialogue recording for the Jingle Rock Run video and imported it into Premier Pro (I like to think of Pr as Ps on steroids hehe). Then I went into my selects folder and imported all of the footage. It was a little difficult to work with because there was no stabilizer or anything used, so it was very shaky. Luckily, everything was shot in 60fps (I think) so I was able to slow things down. Other than that, I really needed to go in and watch each clip closely in order to make my splices right. I spent the whole day working on it and finished it completely. I ran through the proof with my supervisor before sending it off to the communications/events department. He thought that I could add a little more animation in the slides that had the information about the event. I suggested to keep the brand consistency and asked if I could have all of the graphics that he made for the posters, t-shirts, etc. This way, the audience will be able to recognize the event easier. The making of the first proof and edits from my supervisor took me all day, but once I finished it, I sent it over to the communications department.

Friday - September 21, 2018

I love being able to come into work and feel good about what I’m doing. Like always, the communications department gave me great feedback, but also gave me some suggestions. She suggested that I add another Make-A-Wish logo animation at the beginning of the video, to make sure all the blue colors matched, and to fix the “call to action” at the ending of the video (website and wording for creating a team/registering). The computer and Pr program kept crashing on me so it really messed up my workflow. There were times where I’d lose all of the files that were in the sequence line-up, then I’d have to relocate everything again!

I am a perfectionist, so I checked (then double checked) everything in the video. The volume of the audio, the dialogue highs and lows, all graphics in place, etc. And that in itself took me all day. Before I left, I sent off the FINAL video file.

This is the promo video I made for Waffles for Wishes! I was SO STOKED when I saw this on my instagram feed! Ahh!!

#internship #CM390 #hawaii

Week 2 - So far, so great!

Thursday - September 13, 2018

I got into the office a little early to help another department. They asked me last week to come in to help check to see if the tents that they have are working and up to par because we will be using at an upcoming event. We opened about 12 or 14 tents INSIDE because Tropical storm Olivia was passing through. We needed to take the tents from the basement (where storage is) and bring them up two floors in a somewhat-sketchy elevator. This allowed me to bond more with other colleagues. There would have only been two of them doing this if I wasn’t there so I’m glad I could help out as much as I could.

After that was done, I went back to work on the promo video and added what they suggested (words from the website, more animation). Once that was done, I sent the final product to the communications director be proofed and she loved it!

My supervisor also sat down with me to go over upcoming projects and tasks that were assigned to me. I need to create a promo video for Jingle Rock Run, a wish reveal, Thanksgiving, and New Years. Lots on my plate, but BRING IT ON!!

Friday - September 14, 2018

I looked over my tasks one last time and started working on the Jingle Rock Run promo video. For guidance, I always turn to the Make-A-Wish YouTube. Then, I sifted through footage (this time it was video instead of just pictures like the Waffles for Wishes event). I created a “selects” folder and started making mental notes on how the storyline would go for the video. I talked with my supervisor and told him that I wanted to add narration to this one. He was totally for this suggestion and helped me with the wording. Once I got the wording down, I recorded the audio from home.

Everything is great so far! I’m doing it, you guys! I’m being the best intern that I can be! I’m so proud of myself hehe.

#internship #CM390 #hawaii

Week 1 - Starting Fresh

After an interesting summer break, I finally found a new home/internship with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Hawai’i! I am interning for their multimedia department. My duties include, but are not limited to, working on video edits for social media sites, and creating layouts/designs for ads and campaigns.

Prior to orientation day, I needed to complete a couple of on-boarding assignment that talked about the origin of the brand and how creating wishes worked. On orientation day, we went over the origination of the brand again and filled out paperwork. We also did a tour of the office, which was really nice to see. Being in a professional environment and around people with the same vision/goal has a really strong affect on me. I made some friends (my whole orientation class was all women! Empowered!!!). I ended the day with meeting up with my supervisor and going over my schedule for the next 12 weeks. I explained that I was eager to learn and open to whatever opportunities that came my way.

On my first real day, my supervisor left me a paper with some projects that I needed to work on. I was immersed in the action right from the get go. I was supplied with a handy brand handbook that had all of the requirements when it came to photos, videos, colors, graphics, and typography.

Once I completely read through the handbook, I started on my first work order. A cool thing about my department is, I work closely with all of the other ones! If they need something done that has to deal with graphics or a video edit, they come straight to us. But our department works extra closely with the communications department because they are in charge of the all of the words that get incorporated into different ads and make sure that everything is on brand. Come to find out, one of my classmates is interning for the communications department so it’s really fun to share this experience with her!

For my first work order I was to start creating a 1 minute or less (30 secs) promotional slideshow/video to post to their social media for an event coming up (Waffles for Wishes). I learned where everything lives and by “lives” I mean where all of the files are located. The whole office shares the same folder with all of the same information. So if I were to create a new folder with all of my work in it, then another department would be able to pull it up as well. My supervisor checked in on me and made sure that I was doing okay. Using Adobe Premiere I added selected photos from a previous Waffles for Wishes event and created a montage that is intended to hype people up! Knowing me, once I start editing footage or photos, I cannot leave my desk. I get into the zone and it’s hard to reel me out haha! I was able to pretty much finish the bones and structure of the video (placing videos and slides that provided information). Once I found myself in a good place to save and quit, I needed to print out wine tags for another event! I learned how to change the settings on the document to print out from a huge copy machine. From quality, to document size, to paper type. The printer was actually giving everyone issues that day so I could only print out half of what was needed. I let my supervisor and some other workers know and they said that the copier might need some time to breathe.

On my second day, I went back into the wine tag document and printed the rest of the tags. Voila! They all printed out! Once that was finalized, I went back into my slideshow project and asked my supervisor for his feedback. He liked what I did but had me add more animations and stars. I used approved star graphics and added them to the slideshow! I then added music that I found on my own through an approved website, then exported. A couple of us then went out to lunch. The only thing I like about working in town or being in town is that there are so much goooood places to eat within walking distance. I showed the proof video to the communications and events departments and they really liked it! I was so shocked. I was almost doubting work for a little bit due to nervousness. They suggested that I add some sentences from the website and as the date of the event gets closer, to add the vendors that will be there. I honestly felt a rush of confidence when they showed me how happy they were with what I made.

My most favorite thing about this position so far is that I am doing what I am going to school for and putting it into use in a real life setting. Sounds corny, I know. But it really is amazing to see your own skills being used and put into action.
