> Post-production internship with Black Duck Productions
>
>  
>
> Black Duck Productions is a small production company that covers video 
> and sound production and post-production on a project basis.  The 
> amount of labor we work with depends on the size of the project and 
> the stage of the project.  We have been working on a documentary for 
> the last five years that started in the year 2000. This documentary 
> titled, Dirty Hands, is a bio pic about artist David Choe.  It 
> chronicles his rise as an artist, explores his personal struggles with 
> sin and spirituality, and portrays his growth throughout the entire 
> period and process. 
>
>  
>
> At this point in the documentary, we are basically wrapped on 
> production and focusing on post-production.  This is where we need a 
> post-production intern.  The intern will work closely with me, the 
> filmmaker, and with the key crew of producer and editors.  The work is 
> very hands-on.  The intern's job is basically to prep footage.  This 
> entails logging and transcribing.  Also, with training, the intern can 
> input footage.  There is also potential for the intern to get 
> assistant editor credit if he can edit a scene that will be used in 
> the documentary.  There is pay but it is training wages.
