One Summer Down

I just finished my first summer of being an intern and I feel great. This summer I've had the chance to gain an incredible amount of experience with running cameras, directing, and of course coiling cables. I've met a lot of great people that I won't soon forget, and I've also had the pleasure of being part of a crew that I hope I can remain a part of for a long time. Throughout these shows I've been able to learn something different at each one through different problems or special occasions that arise. Some examples of this could be as simple as working around a band or manager's demands, or sharpening my skills by running camera for an entire night without a viewfinder. Our crew has also went through some trials, such as the heat and little problems that arose at Blues by the Bay. With the help of a little pep talk from Bill we all pulled through to show just how good of a crew we were and produced arguably our best show yet. I've been extremely lucky to get involved with Bill and this program this early, being that I am just about to start my sophomore year, and I really hope that I will be able to stay with this program for the rest of my time here at Purdue.
