Isaac the Intern loves the Blue Angels
Welcome back to the intern blog! The guys and I just got back from a shoot in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, at the 114th Fighter Group National Guard Base. While at the base, we filmed the Blue Angels Navy demonstration team for an upcoming science related television show. We were given “all-access” to the Blue Angels show, pilots, and crew members for an exceptional “behind the flying” experience.
CSB Green Screen Shoot
Yesterday, the guys and I went to Community Savings Bank to shoot an upcoming television commercial. We shot Kent Stock, who’s story was brought to life by Sean Astin, in the feature film, The Final Season, in front of a green screen. The shot took a while to set up, but once we had everything properly lit, the film-seasoned Stock flew through his lines with exceptional ease.
Here I am, holding cue cards for Kent Stock.
Welcome to the Intern Blog!
Hi! My name is Isaac, and for the past few weeks I’ve been working as an intern for the guys at MVP. I’m a junior in high school, and I’m interested in a career as a video or film producer. I’ve had a great time at MVP, and it has been a perfect way to obtain some first hand experience in the field of video production. I’ll be posting updates showcasing my MVP experience frequently, so be sure to keep an eye out for them!
