Hey, I am Vanessa

Hi everyone, my name is Vanessa and I am from Germany. I’m going to do my internship at The Light Studios until December this year. I hope to learn as much as possible in photography and video making.

This week we, the interns, shot our first fashion video. Mara plays a girl who isn’t able to find the perfect dress for their second anniversary.

Charlotte plays her best friend who tries to help her but fails.

I have the responsibility for the camera and the editing.

The shoot was during 2 days and we had a really good make-up artist, Shelly Feldman, a talented actor, Diego Barbosa, who played the boyfriend and Thamizh Thendral who played a Clown in our video.

The filming was trouble-free and incredible funny with all that people together.

We shot at Holland Park, Fulham Palace and Oxford Circus.

Here are some expressions:

This and next week I am going to edit the video and upload it as soon as possible.

All the best to you,

Vanessa

Camden, Kentish and the Overground

So yesterday was one of my travel days through London again… Before work I did some shopping for a friend of mine. It’s her birthday next week and I bought some small presents for her. First I printed some pictures at Boots and afterwards I went to Covent Garden in order to buy a specific jumper. I thought the shops opened at about 10am but it turned out that they opened at 10:30 so I had to wait another half an hour. The guy working at the shop was quite rude to me but I had to get that jumper so I didn’t have much of a choice… My intention was to go straight to the post office in order to send all the presents to my friend but because that shop opened later than expected I didn’t have any time left for that so I went to work. The odds weren’t in my favour so I spend about 45 minutes to get to the office because there were problems with the tube. I arrived at the office at about 11:30. My boss suggested that I should go to the closet post office straight away. I was really glad that she said that! So I went to the post office, send all the presents to my friend and bought some tape for my boss…

When I got back to the office I was able to take part in a very interesting meeting! It was about a shoot for a short clip for a big music channel in the UK. Many celebrities are going to come to the studio for that. Those people are well-known all over the world! I can’t say the names of them but we’re working together with Universal for this shoot… It’s going to be a busy day for us and I”m so looking forward to that! I”ll definitely update all of my readers about the shoot so keep an eye on my blog.

After the meeting my boss send me to pick up a hard drive from a videographer. He was supposed to give us some footage. At first I was told to go to Kentish Town tube station and to meet him there. It took me ages to get there… When I arrived I got a text saying that I have to go to Canonbury Overground station to meet him there. By that time it was already dark so I was looking for Kentish Town West Overground station in an area where I have never been. Eventually I found it and went up there. Then I got a call telling me to just go outside the station to meet him there. So after almost 2.5 hours I’ve finally managed to get that hard drive! That was my adventurous travel adventure from yesterday.
