I just started my second week of Interning. To recap, Last week I began working with Michael Haug on a huge commercial project. I arrived on my first day at Orbit Studio's expecting to work with Michael, an assistant or two, and maybe a couple others, but what I found was a full blown, bustling production!

Target is creating a new baby catalogue for 2011. This current project involves four photographers, a few art directors, multiple assistants, stylists, set builders, producers and producer assistants, even a child wrangler, not to mention the multiple others I can't remember right now. I was amazed at the size of such a project and the money that must go into something like this. Throughout my first day multiple children and babies were styled and switched out on set. This project is planned to last about three weeks give or take.

During my first four hours the most productive thing I managed to do was change a flash bulb, not quite what I was expecting. I was tired of standing idle and wanted to learn and be challenged with new things. By the end of the first week, I learned that my place was to stand back and silently observe. Its kind of ironic that I almost willingly am falling to the role of "woman who is seen and not heard," one I utterly despise. At least until there is some grunt work to be done rearranging sets, I need to stay out of everyones, especially the art directors, way.
