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 13 - Friday: Day 60

The start of streetmachine weekend. I started at 9:15 I believe as we had to pick up the pa system for the event/ After we went to the emmax center to fix some stuff that happened at the KISS concert.
I had to go up the catwalk (quite up high) and pick up bottles with another man. We came back with quite a heavy bag full of water bottles and other trash. My supervisor walked around elsewhere at the time.
90 minutes later we went back to the studio. The supervisor continued working on his recordings for the commercials. Sadly because of the lack of time and problems that occured I couldn't voice the commercials nor edit it. Maybe I can do something like this in the future though!
In the meantime I worked on the banner for youtube once again as it was still not good. He liked it better than the previous one, but rather wanted to scratch the album thing.
So instead I had to look online for a new background and mix up somethings. I found a background that would work well in the middle and added a microphone and headset next to it  to make it less empty and to show that that is what the company represents. That was the most important thing to the supervisor, showing what the channel was about by only looking at the banner.
You can fnd the new banner now on our youtube page:

At around 3 we had to go to the emmax center again to fix the boards up on the catwalk. I couldn't do anythin this time, but watching. It was funny though that one guy went down upside down on cables just for fun.
I got brought home for an hour because it was too early and got picked up again at 6 to set up the PA system at the parade. I helped carrying the stuff and plugged in some powerplugs and the plugs for the speakers.
The supervisor handled the announcing and music and I grabbed the magazines and walked passed people to hand them out. It's weird as I remember handing out surveys at college two years ago. I was so nervous looking at the people who looked back at you bored. But this time I just walked out, stoof in front of the people and asked if they wanted a magazine. No nervousness showing up, but I showed my smile and people seemed to be happy and interested too.
This shows how much confidence I gained over time.

When I was done I started filming the parade and tried to have as many angles as possible. There were 900 cars to film so it was quite a big parade too. But after a while the parade started to take a bit long. At 10 we could pack the stuff and the next day would start at 7:45.
