Perhaps the biggest highlight of interning at Mandalay Pictures is the “Executive Lecture Series”. Over the course of two months, my fellow interns and I had the opportunity to interact with various executives one on one. Not only did we learn how they had come to where they are now but we were also advised […]

Virgin Alexander Premiere in Albany
Posted: 6th August 2011 by Jon C. in A picture's worth a thousand words, and video is worth a million!A little more than a year after filming began, I finally got to see Virgin Alexander in Albany on Wednesday. My scene lasted probably less than 10 seconds, but I’m sure I’ll win the best supporting actor award in the upcoming Oscars :p. I jest, but the movie is actually doing well. It won awards […]
The waiting is the hardest part (at Allied Pixel in PA)
Posted: 5th August 2011 by jmorgera26 in Random ReflectionsAs anyone who took a production class learned, production is waiting. That has not changed in this real world setting. As an intern at Allied Pixel in Media, PA, I’ve done a lot of waiting. On days I’m in the office, I come in, brew the morning coffee, and then wait for the rest of […]
Always Be Closing (and working on lots of projects you love)
Posted: 5th August 2011 by jmorgera26 in Notes to Sequence 64To Sequence 64: Enjoy it while you can. Have fun. These people will become your family for a year. You’ll be pouring your sweat and blood into projects together, spending late nights in the editing suites or in the studio, and not sleeping together. The most important piece of advice I can give to anyone […]
The day of graduation, having skipped the ceremony, I drove down I-81 to I-476 to I-95 which allowed me to sleep in my own bed, to begin my internship two days after our Newhouse ceremony. So, I get up at 6:30 AM, eat breakfast, pack lunch, and get on I-95, sit in traffic, and go […]
Now it is my last week at the MLB FanCave. I’ve had quite the experience here at the Cave and definitely a few memories that I will cherish forever. I got to meet one of my childhood heroes in Bernie Williams. I also got to meet all of the members of one of my favorite […]
Looking for Work….Can BE MINDBLOWING
Posted: 2nd August 2011 by ronaldseananthonymcleod in Random ReflectionsJessica Garfinkel made it clear that networking is the key essentials to landing a job and I myself cannot express enough that Ms. Garfinkel is so right! The entire process of finding a job can be a bit much. I say this because the online applications only show what you can do on paper versus […]
MTV #3 Teach Me How to Network, Teach Me How to Network!
Posted: 2nd August 2011 by jgraubart in Random ReflectionsWell, this is my last week at MTV. I’ve learned so much in ten short weeks that I don’t even know if I covered it all in my posts so far. Rather than talk about all of the small little things I’ve learned like Movie Magic Budgeting Software or expense reports, I’d rather talk about […]
The few days before TRF 63 graduated, emotions were running high. Some of my batch-mates often had an outburst of something I”ll simply label as the “waterworks” (and I hope no one is embarrassed to remember how a few of cried as we said our goodbyes). There we were, a year had sped by, particularly […]
