Supervising Interns

This week I got 2 interns to help me with VFX related work on my major project, Black Channel. We have not met in person yet but we did through Discord and I am excited to be working with them. After sharing our portfolios with each other, I explained how the next few weeks would go in terms of workload and what I will be assigning them. The interns are second year Creative Media Production students and they have no experience using Unreal Engine. Therefore, I will be giving them the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the software during the break. In Semester 2, hopefully we will get some more VFX tasks assigned. If not, then we can make things out of our own creative input to pitch to integrate into the game and we can further develop the FX that I have already made. Personally, when I interned for a project in 2nd year I did not get the opportunity to learn or contribute to the project. I found this quite disappointing as I had expected to be able to develop my skills through the Left Alone project. So, something I hope to give to Josh and Aimee is an overall positive learning experience and a feeling of involvement in the project.
