Daytime Columbus!

While it is a little behind schedule, I worked as a Production Assistant Intern for Daytime Columbus, a NBC4i Columbus produced talk show.

With the show, the Host and Executive Producer, Gail Hogan, talked with business owners and organizations from all across Columbus (and Ohio) that have something to offer the community.  Topics range from landscaping ideas, home organization, and pet adoptions to upcoming theatrical events and healthy living tips.

Daytime Columbus is an 'Advo-tainment' Talk Show.  It is advertising because everyone on the show has paid to be there.  It is also entertaining because Gail is AWESOME at making everything sound fun!

Here is a peek into a typical segment.  It is a spot produced for Luxury Bath Systems, a bathroom renovations company that specializes in fast and easy bathroom solutions for both luxurious and necessary safety reasons.

I Know What I Did Last Summer!

"Punch Drunk Robot" is a special project that I worked on in August 2011 as a submission for the 48 Hour Film Project Cincinnati Festival.  As part of the festival, "Punch Drunk Robot" made it to the 'Best of Cincinnati' screening, which basically means it was considered one of the top ten submissions for the Cincinnati this year.  We were also awarded Best Song!  The three elements we needed to include were

          1. Character: Arthur or Arlene Zinnia, Acupuncturist

          2. Prop: a tray

          3. Line of Dialogue: "It's the same thing all over again"

As a crew member, I assisted with the costuming as well as being the Lead Gaffer (I was in charge the lighting crew).  Obviously, with a deadline of 48 hours, there was limited time for set-up, but considering the time constraints I think I did a pretty good job.

The Human Stain

This is a short montage that I created for/with one of my friends for his english project.  It is based on a book he read, The Human Stain.  The title that appears in the film is what he told me it was when I was editing.  I figure I will change it to the correct title after he gets his grade.  Mean, I know.  But when I agreed to shoot on a Friday, he said I had a week to edit it.  When I begin on Monday, I find out it is due 8am on Tuesday.  Not cool.  On the plus side, since I did this without any other E-Media people, I learned a lot about what needed to get done because everything was on my shoulders!

My Resume

NBC4, Here I Come!!!

WOOT!  It is official!  I have an internship!

This is the logo for the talk show I will
get to work with in Spring 2011

As of 11:00 am yesterday (Thursday February 24, 2011) this girl has been hired to be an intern with WCMH, an NBC affiliate station in Columbus, Ohio.  I will get to work as a part of the Operations Department with a talk show/advo-tainment segment called Daytime Columbus.

Daytime Columbus airs weekdays at 11:00 am on the local channel 4.  It is an innovative form of advertising that does not feel like advertising to the viewers.  To put it simply, this program is a paid infomercial in a talk show format--meaning basically the guests for the talk show have paid NBC to be on the show.  It is a brilliant idea!

As an intern, I will have the opportunities to be a part of the production, be in the studio during productions, interact with the clients, edit clips of the show for the web presence, and assist in script writing!  I will have the opportunity to do a little bit of everything!  It sounds amazing!

While I do live in and attend school in Cincinnati, working in Columbus for eleven weeks will still be a feasible option because my parental units live in a Columbus suburb.  I suppose my sister will enjoy having me there too...or maybe it will be because I will have my guinea pig, Kitchi Kitchi Kitchi, there too.
