Interns can do more than get coffee and sort through old files – Gregor Jakob (Instagram profile see here ») completely agrees. The student from Salzburg University of Applied Sciences » completed a three-month internship at our company as a 3D artist and excelled on all levels; had it been possible, we would have hired him full-time right away. Read this interview to find out how he experienced the internship, what lessons he learnt and what tips he can offer future interns!
From the very beginning of my internship, I was allowed to work on various projects and gain an insight into different areas of the company. I found PESCHKE to be a very professional and future-oriented company with a very friendly atmosphere; I was part of the team right from the start and not just “the intern”.
The team dynamic is very open and pleasant. It was fun to work and if I had any questions, they were answered right away. In the beginning, I didn’t know what to expect as I had never worked in this industry before. But since I was welcomed with open arms, the start of my internship was extremely positive!
On the one hand, I did ‘simple’ 3D work such as remodelling and shading objects. On the other hand, I was entrusted with an entire project where I was able to make creative decisions myself. This was the case, for example, when I worked on a video shoot for a client, but also in regards to a 3D scene created for that video where I was allowed to handle the camera movement, rendering process and post-production » myself.
I was able to learn a lot in various areas. From a technical point of view, I deepened my knowledge in Adobe AfterEffects. However, I learnt even more about the “day-to-day activities”, meaning what processes can look like in a client project and how to present projects both internally and externally. I also learnt how to confidently discuss my work and strategy with customers during meetings, for example with Austrian Airlines. But I found it just as interesting and educational to work with other companies, such as PESCHKE’s film partner Severin Wurnig.
There are quite a few! I was most impressed by the film project I mentioned earlier, in which we worked with Severin and his team. Designing and implementing the 3D scenes for this film was a personal highlight. I also particularly enjoyed attending the AWE expo » in Vienna on the subject of XR (Extended Reality). There were many exciting presentations and exhibitions about current and future developments in this field. (For a little insight, see our social media post »)
The fact that I was welcomed with open arms meant that the transition to everyday working life was very smooth and posed no problem for me. Quite the opposite, actually; I was looking forward to work every day and felt very motivated about my projects.
I want to encourage other interns to approach their internship with an open mind. If you do that, nothing can go wrong and you will be pleasantly surprised at how instructive and exciting your experiences in the world of work can be 😊
