My new job

So I am half way through my first week as the post production manager at the Maine Media Workshops. It's good. Everyone is nice, though there are an awful lot of people whose names I'm meant to remember and I'm struggling with that. I'm starting with the people who actually work in my building: Owen my staff editor who is still mostly running the place while I settle in, Sam my intern, Devon someone else's intern who sits right outside my door, Skylar who is doing marketing stuff, and Emma who I think is also doing marketing stuff. Then there's the two guys who are the TAs for the cinematography class. I should really know their names since they're coming in every late afternoon to get us to string together dailies of all their footage.

The work is mostly supporting camera classes so that they can see the stuff they're shooting. They're not learning to edit, just shoot, so they need to sit with us so that they can see what they've shot. We also put together the Friday night showcase. After supper on Fridays there is a showing of all the work that's been happening all week. For all the film classes we get footage that they've been making and cut something together. When there are lots of film classes I think we'll be pretty busy, but this week it's quiet enough.

My building. The editing offices are in the bottom. At the top, which is ground level at the right side of the building, is the tech barn where they keep all the gear.

Thor, who will become the Post House mascot. He's my roommate Claire's dog, but she's a TA so she's running around a lot. Much easier for him to hang here and everyone loves him.
