Overview
Backing up sensitive material such as films, posters, trailers and transferring to clients. Big emphasis on security such as protecting material. Also forensically watermarking material and sometimes encoding. Sometimes using LTO tapes and retrieving older material from archives.
Skills
I have learned more about using LTO tapes, more about films such as the system of trailers; I have developed my understanding of security and the importance of encrypting data and using code names. I have also developed my understanding of audio in films and more about specs and codecs.
Responsibilities
Yes I was given responsibility and worked alongside other data I/O technicians doing essentially the same tasks. Initially the role was more limited to transferring and backing up data however more responsibilities were given along the experience including forensic and visibly watermarking sensitive material. In contrast to other roles I did not have the chance to create presentations in team meetings.
Support & Guidance
I received a lot of guidance from managers and other coworkers regarding the multitude of tasks I was presented with. There was a lot of support also from the careers team at NBCUniversal.
Culture
The company is a very friendly and supportive company with a lot of different ERGs to partake in where you can broaden your experiences and connections with others. There is a supportive atmosphere towards different minorities and a big emphasis on sustainability. There are also a lot of opportunities presented to coworkers such as barbecues, networking events and more.
Your Impressions
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement and learned a lot of invaluable skills, as well as made great connections. These connections were with both my colleagues and other interns. I enjoyed learning more about the film environment and feel like I have taken considerable steps towards my career goals.
Yes
I would definitely encourage others to take full advantage of the different experiences and opportunities at the company such as the ERGs. Also to be eager and take initiative at work and take on as many responsibilities as you can so you can broaden your CV as much as possible.
