Today was my second day at SAS as a part of the Cary Academy Work Experience Program and my time was spent with not only the Corporate Creative team, but also the Video team! At Corporate Creative offices, I was introduced to Mr. Aaron Overington, the Senior Design Manager, as well as many of his colleagues. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the design process behind their booths and banners for their participation at the Global Forum, a huge conference held annually to showcase SAS. It was super interesting seeing the designs progress from sketches to reality, and the final result always looked chiq. Also, Mr. Overington and his colleague took me up to SAS’s very own printing site, only a few feet from the campus gates. I was told that the printing site will pretty much print anything you want, regardless of the size or complexity of the image – thus, it was an essential tool of the Corporate Creatives. I remember there being a huge, industrial printer which printed the panels for booths and things like that – I couldn’t imagine how much the ink cartridges cost! After my time in Corporate Creative, I was handed over to the SAS Video team whose job is to create any video needed for events, advertisements, or promotions. Mr. Ed Harriss of the SAS Production team showed me around the audio and film studios on the SAS campus, something I never knew existed! I appreciated how passionate he was about his job and his enthusiasm really resonated with me. What I found interesting is that he had been working in the Video Department for 20 years, and technically, he was the last hire of the department!
