Troma Internship NYC: 1/25-1/26/11 (Bradley Creanzo) Film 4700*

On the first day of starting the internship things went very well. To bad I can't control the weather. If I see anymore snow I'll go nuts, but anyway on the first day I helped out with a PSA. I was greeted by Lloyd as I walked in the door for my first day and he later went down to directed the PSA. The PSA had to do with PETA. A bunch of actors (male and female) were locked in cages like animals and for the finale of the PSA, a caged person was slaughtered by a butcher. Basically a typical slaughterhouse effects. The slit throat looked very good! Nice flow of blood and the person getting their throat slit twitched nicely.
I helped out by doing some basic crew work, which consisted mostly of lifting heavy stone and concrete pillars (around 50 of them) and I also helped unload gear and other materials once everything was brought back here to Troma.
Among other things I was entering information as well for most of my first two days for Troma's website. I updated their movie catalog (it was about 200 or so titles I entered). Also I was told about the other things I'd be doing throughout the course of the internship. Overall a very good start. Everyone seems helpful and nice especially Lloyd, Michael and Merris.
