MultiMedia Production
My first internship after moving to LA in 2009 was with Luxury Wafers Sessions at ChessVolt Studio, where I had the exciting opportunity to shoot and edit videos for live artist sessions. My role was utilize my skills in art direction, project management, and branding to assure the video aesthetic reached its target audience. I was to deliver music videos that capture the energy of these performances and then edit the footage into polished videos for an online music blog and Youtube channel, showcasing the artist’s charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent. The production time would vary per project. Videography would take approximately 3-5 hours to capture the live session as well as time before and after to set up and break down equipment. The editing would take approximately 5-7 hours per video. The result would be in essence a live music video that shows why the artists are so special. In turn, these videos allowed the studio to promote brand recognition and build awareness; starting the marketing funnel to bring in additional business.

After that internship wrapped up, about a year later, I found myself interning at Warner Bros. Records in their Video Production department. My role was to edit deliverables including editing lyric videos, behind-the-scenes content, and tour announcement pre-rolls. These deliverable should reflect the branding of the featured artist. I also used project management skills, to balance the projects I was working on based on importance and given deadlines. The following videos are some of my contributions during that time. Production varied for each project but I would put in at least 40 hours a week, often being the last person to leave. During a particularly busy week, I would work up to 65 hours a week. That is a lot of time to put into an internship with no compensation but I hope that my passion, reliability, and dedication to music is reflected.
