the week of the 24 was the third week of my internship with thirty tigers. The main focus of the week was to edit videos for the band Nickel Creek. Nickel Creek is an American Bluegrass trio comprised of brother and sister Sara and Sean Watkins and their friend Chris Thile. This week the group announced their first record in nine years titled “Celebrants” which is out in March. With this big comeback, I was tasked with making cuts of their new video for their song “Strangers”. Thirty Tigers is working on making content for their artists that they can share on TikTok and Instagram Reels. A big job of mine is to help edit these existing videos and make them easy to upload to these platforms. My supervisor sent me a file of the video I needed to edit and requested I make a few videos. First I go into the premiere and change the aspect ratio of the video to make it vertical. Then I watch the video and cut it to the thirty seconds that I think will sound and look the best. After that, I add the text. I had to make a video with a text overlay adverting the song, one advertising that it is available on Spotify, and two advertising the album’s preorder. This was the bulk of my work this week and took a few edits and revisions until I got it approved and sent to management. In addition to editing videos we had our weekly team meeting, and I was tasked to make a social media excel sheet tracking artists’ engagements. I also worked on posting for New Music Friday on our story for Instagram and made a few main feed posts highlighting some recent releases.

Nickel Creek is in my rotation of regular listening. I did not realize they had a new album coming out. Amazing that you got to work on this content and help them build engagement for social media! People are more likely to be familiar with the band than this company. Collecting details like this will help explain the depth of your internship experience to future employers.
