Live Production Crew InternAt — Access Monterey Peninsula, Inc. (AMP Media)
Interns join AMP Media's production crew roster and work live broadcasts across Monterey County, including high school football, city council and school board meetings, conferences, concerts and community events.
Each weekend, rostered interns receive an email listing the following week's productions and RSVP for the shoots that fit their schedule. There are no fixed weekly hours. Interns commit to the productions they sign up for and arrive at crew call ready to work. On set, they help load in and set up cameras, run cameras and switching during the broadcast, and help with breakdown.
Interns can also learn post-production by editing live event recordings under supervision, help produce PSAs and commercials for local nonprofits and businesses, and work alongside the Executive Director on the administrative side of running a nonprofit media organization, including board and organizational management.
A pre-placement orientation on the equipment, safety and crew roles, hands-on training under a crew lead at each production, and supervised post-production and office work.
