INTERNSHIP
During the fall of 2022, I was an intern for Around the Corner Productions, a production company in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Around the Corner does a variety of things, such as producing UNI sporting events, producing a weekly television show, Panther Sports Talk, as well as putting together ads for national brands around the country. At Around the Corner, I had multiple responsibilities. One example is broadcasting live sporting events on ESPN+ and ESPN3. For these games, I would be responsible for properly preparing in order to be knowledgeable beforehand, as well as being an engaging, interesting, and accurate personality keeping fans informed and entertained when the broadcast was live. I also worked on producing 3-minute feature stories about UNI student-athletes in a variety of sports. In making these features, I was responsible for finding interview clips, putting together a voiceover script and narrating it once it was written, adding in highlights from sporting events, and putting all of the elements together to ensure a smooth, pleasing, and engaging story. I was also involved in the behind the scenes aspects of putting together a sports broadcast. I spent time working in the production room, specifically acting as the producer for a handful of sports broadcasts. For these games, I was responsible for staying in contact with the ESPN producer, the announcers, the Time Out Coordinator, and everybody else in the production room with me, to keep everything running smoothly. I was also in charge of putting graphics on the screen and making sure the time on the scoreboard was accurate.
