My internship is pretty cool. I've mostly been editing product shots (stuff for Nike, DaKine, Logitech, etc), which is fun for a while but by the time you get to work making a clipping path for your 10th fuzzy beany it gets old. But today I got to hike around the neighborhood dropping off postcards for their next show (Pushdot is a gallery as well as a digital print studio), so that was fun. Then the bossman took me on a little field trip to one of product photography studios that they work with, and this place was cool as hell -- lighting equipment everywhere, flashes going off, stylers working on products so they look pretty, people running around all over the place. They even have a full kitchen so they can cook food there, that way its still steaming and fresh when they take photos of it. It was what I imagine a Hollywood set would be like, except instead of actors its cans of soda and backpacks and cheese.
...I wonder if it would be inappropriate if I asked my boss to hook me up with an internship there for next term?
But in the mean time its definitely cool to know that stuff I've worked on is going to be in catalogs and on packaging (keep an eye out for the new Eric Clapton Guitar Hero guitar for the Wii with a little of my handiwork on the box!)
