Intern - Production Assistant

This is a Part Time Paid Internship

Paid Intern - Seasonal Production Assistant

PURPOSE:
To provide PAs with a unique, hands-on production experience and cultivate a new generation of CollegeHumor Originals personnel.

DESCRIPTION:
Seasonal PAs with the CollegeHumor Originals Production team have an opportunity to be exposed to exciting work within a small team where every member is crucial. For individuals with a strong interest in the process of production for television and the web, it's a great fit.

Seasonal PAs ultimately report to the Office PA, as well as Producers and Coordinators on a project-to-project basis. A background in production or related major is appreciated but not required.

The Season is divided into equal parts on-set production and in-office pre-production. Each intern will gain a breadth of knowledge by being included in many aspects of production work within all departments.

A typical day of pre-production could include:
• Sitting in on production meetings and casting sessions; learning how to maintain and keep current the online casting/locations database; travel with members as equipment is secured and returned and observing how the art director creates the look of each piece.

A typical day of production could include:
• Learning about the inner workings of a lighting and camera department; what it takes to coordinate talent and locations and the many logistical challenges the production crew faces on a day to day basis.

SCHEDULE:
Three days a week, 10am-6pm on pre-production days. Hours are variable on production days, depending on schedule.
