Today, I went to the corporative creative division. I spent most of the day just shadowing and learning what the job entails and the different jobs within the division. The really cool part of the day happened in the afternoon when our host took me to the scenic/printing and video buildings. They had 3 or so different printers that spanned the length of each room. It was really cool to learn that they are the ones who printed the CA newsletters that everyone receives. When I got there, I saw that they were printing envelopes with the CA logo on it. The scenic department was in the same building and they make everything for parties and custom décor for SAS as well as for some CA events such as the recent Charger Derby. The scenic department has a lot of machine problems which leads to many fires. The person there told us many stories about how people would turn on a machine, which would sometimes smoke and catch on fire if left unattended, which, apparently, happens a lot. The video studio was a mix of the black box and Mr. O’Neill’s video production room, except much larger. I also found out that that was where they filmed a part of Iron Man 3. In that building, there is a famous T-Rex sculpture which is so old that people don’t even know why it’s in the building. All in all, today was pretty cool and I got to see and learn about other parts of SAS that weren’t part of the rotation.
