Canada

This blog is about my trip to Canada from February till the end of July. The reason I have this blog is that my family/ friends and teachers can read what I have been up to.
I'll write about my preperations, flight, what I have learned at the internship company as well as any side trips.

Week - Thursday: Day 7

Woke up at 8:15 and quickly checked my email before I left. I was so happy with an email I got!
Earlier I applied for my cancellation assurance and they said that my case was no visa during my trip instead of before so I didn't get money. I didn't agree obviously and sent another email explaining how much the visa program had an impact and not the visa itself.
Now I received the email that they took another look at my case and as it wasn't my fault and because of unexpectedly not getting my visa after all those promises from the embassy they decided to at least refund half of my ticket.. Ah, so happy!

Arrived at 10 again and I got a new project to take care of. I had to create a tribute for young hockey players so I received thousands of pictures! But setting up the project took so long that I couldn;t do much for a while. Instead I looked at what the other intern was doing and they were discussing fonts. A font that was chosen by a band member wasn't clear enough; the band name didn't pop out like it should be, so that had to be changed. The supervisor told us that you need spacing between some letters as letting an L overlay other letters will make it disappear.

When I could start on the video hours had passed and I had to delete lots of pictures in order to fit the 5 minute mark. But the supervisor concluded that this project wouldn't work for me as the pictures were randomized and the supervisor knew all kids. So in the end he took over and I can focus on the music videos again.
At the end of the day we also tested the drums! I had to sit at the (electronic) drumkit in the studio and had to put headphones on so I could communicate with the supervisor. I had to hit each drum part individually so he could test if they were working. Sadly the snare drum didn't want to cooperate so he spent an hour on figuring it out, I had to hit the snare drum repeatedly until something changed but that really didn't happen. XD We called it a day at 6. We were supposed to finish a commercial but as it was late I can't be involved in it anymore too bad.
