 Hi guys. My name is Leah Atkins and I'm from Ryan, New York. I currently attend Tufts University, which is in Medford, Mass, not too far away. I'm a rising junior and before then I went to Sacred Heart, Grenada, Connecticut. So for my favorite show, I think I have to say it's Grey's Anatomy. I just love the characters and all the storylines. I've seen this show twice, so it's got to get a comfort show for me now, I'd say. And I've arguably spent way too much time watching it, considering there's 18 seasons. So I think I don't have a choice when I say it's a favorite show, I think it's kind of clear. So for my two truths and a lie. First, I am pursuing a film media major at Tufts. Two, I have an older brother and two younger sisters. And three, I have a blind dog. So I'm gonna let you guys think about that and I'm gonna continue and then reveal the answer later. So my favorite part of production, I want to say, is editing. I really like seeing how different like splices or little edits and tweaks can really change a story and how many different stories can come from a single video just depending on how you want to edit it and your vision on it. At the same time while I say that, editing is also my worst skill set. When it comes to production steps, I'm definitely not very good at all with editing. So that's also why I'm here at ACMI this summer. I really want to improve my skill set and just get better at filming, editing and all the other production steps. Okay, so back to my two truths and a lie. So it is true that I'm pursuing a film media major at Tufts and it is true that I have a blind dog. So I do not have an older brother and two younger sisters. It's actually flipped. I have two older sisters and one younger brother. That's all for now. So I'll see you guys around. Bye. And welcome back to ACMI News. My name is Layla Mandel and I'm here with Layla Mandel, our newest intern at ACMI. And she's here just to tell us a little bit about herself. So Layla, just to start off, what's your favorite movie or TV show? Classic question. Just want to get a sense of what you like. Yeah, so my favorite TV show right now is Veep. I just think it's really funny and I would definitely recommend everybody go watch it. I think you can find it on Amazon Prime. Is there like an espresso thing, a little pod gel or anything like that? It's a f***ing trace. All right, look, watch me out, Teesman. All right, you take the little pod. Put the little pod in the f***ing hall. Shut the f***ing lid. Hit the f***ing button for two seconds. Oh, it's so easy. Too quick, I didn't see it. Yeah, well next time pack an espresso machine in your big f***ing bag. Awesome, cool. Okay, and then can you give us a bit of your background where you grew up, where you go to school? Where you're living currently? So I am originally from Watertown, Massachusetts, and right now I am a rising sophomore at Tufts University. So it's pretty easy. It's kind of just like a 20 minute drive and then like a 15 minute drive to Arlington from Watertown. So it's really nice to be close. Great, thanks for that. And then just a little bit about why you wanted to originally intern at ACMI. Yeah, definitely. I would say it's just a really great experience to have working in a real studio with people who are actually filming videos every day, getting to crew those films. It teaches you a lot of great skill sets from like cameras to microphones, tripods, to how to set all of that up, how to write scripts, all of that. And it's a really fun community. I love coming into intern and to see friends and work with new people every day. It's really fun. And I would recommend it. Very cool. Okay, now onto a quick little game we like to play around here. Two truths and a lie. So you're going to tell us two things that are true about you and then one thing that's a lie and then reveal which one's the lie. Okay, so for my two truths and a lie, I guess number one, I had two parakeets. Number two, I have a twin. And number three, I broke my head open once when I was eight. So, yeah, so the lie is I don't have a twin. I really wish I had a twin. Unfortunately, it is too late for that. Awesome. Okay, last question, Leila. What's your favorite part of production? My favorite part of production I would have to say is probably post-production, so like editing. Because I really like just seeing everything come together, everything that you've been working on separately, whether it's like the music, the sound, the filming, the script, I like seeing it all come together. And you can also, you have a lot of creativity with it and how you want it to look. You can totally change the mood of a video just with like simple change in music in editing or color. So I think that's really fun. Cool. Well, I think that's all we have time for today, but thank you so much for coming on, Leila. It was great to have you. Hello, my name is Simon. I'd have to say that my favorite movie is Star Wars Episode III, Revenge of the Sith. I am from Massachusetts, and I go to Arlington High School. I wanted to intern at ACMI because all the people that I met here were very cool and I wanted to, I guess, learn more about video editing and digital stuff. So my two truths and a lie are, one, I was born in Boston. Two, I've been to China and seen the Great Wall. And three, that I don't like Star Wars. So, yeah. Good luck figuring that out. My favorite part of production is, or parts of production are filming and editing because filming is cool and for editing you get to do cool things like this. My name is Lily Buxton, and I'm so happy to be with ACMI this summer. And I'm gonna start over. I go to Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, and I am originally from Connecticut. I wanted to intern with ACMI because I'm really interested in learning more about the film and production process, as well as being able to work with a really welcoming community who allow interns to do hands-on work. For my favorite part of production, I would have to say I enjoy all the parts. I think it's all really interesting and I love the way it all comes together to make a beautiful product. If I really had to pick a favorite, I would say probably the filming or editing process because it's the process that makes your vision really come to light. If I had to pick a favorite TV show, I would probably say New Girl. It's such a classic and I really enjoy it. Okay, now I've got a little game. We're gonna do two truths and a lie. So, my first is that I used to have pet lobsters. My second is that I was born in Connecticut. My third is that I know how to drive a jet ski. What do you think is the lie? Big reveal. The lie is that I was born in Connecticut. I was actually born in New York City. Thank you for watching my video and I can't wait to be at ACMI for the whole summer. Thanks so much. Bye.
