The dynamic crew

It is been almost one month since I started my internship at Studio 33. It has been a wonderful 

experience for various reasons. I have always wanted to know how a production house worked 

and being at Studio 33 gave me a good idea. Video production is my dream job and interning at 

Studio 33 has helped me to take the first few steps towards my dream. At Studio 33, I have 

edited videos, assisted on shoots, written blog posts and managed Studio 33's YouTube account. 

This journey has been quite insightful and informative.

Let me now talk about my experience of being the Production Assistant for a Hackathon video 

shoot. Pranab Ganguly, our Head Producer described it as ‘shoot marathon’ on his Facebook post 

which is a very appropriate description, since it was a continuous shoot for 30 hours. During the 

shoot I witnessed immense hard work and dedication. I am pretty sure both Pranab and Avinash 

didn’t sleep one bit as they were shooting the entire time. Being the Production Assistant helped 

me learn a lot of things, mainly the different aspects of DSLR video making. The crew gave me 

the studio camera along with all their lenses. I got a better idea of which lens to use when and on 

what occasions. 

I didn’t stay for the entire shoot as I felt it was quite hectic and tiring, but not for the crew of 

Studio 33! In my one-month experience at Studio 33, I have seen the crew working continuously 

for hours and going for shoots from one state to another without rest. And even then at the end of 

the day, they are so cheerful, relaxed, energetic and are always ready for next task. It is the 

passion, cooperation and dedication of the Studio 33 crew members that makes all of this 

possible. 

All thanks to Tanya, I got the chance to learn a lot more about video editing. She had been very 

patient and sweet throughout. As a fresher in the field of editing, I made many mistakes and each 

time she corrected me patiently till it became a good video. She taught me many things about 

editing that I previously didn’t know or ignored. 

The 1st month at Studio33 had been wonderful. I can say that I have learned and experienced 

many good things. The dynamic crew at Studio 33 are fun to work with and they are truly an 

inspiration for me.
