Smartphone cameras, relatives with DSLRs, or college kids looking for experience cloud the market with subpar content and shady client experiences.

    Today is the last day of my internship at Open Window Production! Summer flew by, and now I have to go back to school and finish up my final year at Loyola Chicago. I’ve learned so much during my time here and am so grateful for the valuable experience I will continue to use in my career journey. Just being around people who are passionate about video production and love what they do has been really motivating to continue on this career path. I’m excited to take the skills I’ve learned here, such as editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, Audio…

    Author: Mallory Hicks |

    I spent all of this week in the office working on edits for various clients, but last week I helped film a camera training session with the FS Foundation. Open Window is currently helping the FS Foundation get interview coverage of Classical Tahoe, a concert series, in Lake Tahoe. So, last Friday, we scheduled a training session to show their team how to operate the camera as well as some interviewing tips for when they’re getting their own footage in Nevada. I was in charge of filming the tutorial and helping the team get comfortable with the camera. It felt…

    I realized that I’m halfway through my time as an intern at Open Window Productions. It’s really gone by so fast! I feel that I’m fully integrated into the team and that I’ve learned so much just by using Premiere Pro every day. This week I did a lot of editing, specifically with our relatively new client, Conscious Living. We had a half day shoot at the end of last week where we were able to capture the footage and audio for their YouTube channel that I’m currently editing into a channel teaser.  On set, I really enjoyed getting the equipment…

    This week was short due to the holiday. We had a weekly staff meeting which is always fun because I like hearing what everyone is currently working on and what will be going on this week. We also talked about data management and how important it is to keep everything consistent and running smoothly. Henry told me that data management is a hard thing to master, and few people keep up with it at a professional level, so I’m glad to be getting some experience with it now. Another cool thing I learned this week was how to set up…

    This week has been pretty laid back since I’ve been in the studio all week working on edits for Proficient Construction and NMC. However, I did take my first crack at Adobe After Effects, which was confusing and fun. I’ve never used After Effects before so I was pretty lost navigating the software. I definitely still have a lot to learn. It’s extremely different from Premiere Pro and all of the nested layers can be hard to keep track of, which I think is what I’ve been struggling most with. I’ve learned that the “hide layer” button is very much…
