Here at One Day, One Internship, we’re big on storytelling. The reason that we feature a new company every day is that a lot of companies aren’t very good at telling their own stories, and even if they are, there’s a good chance that you’ve never heard their stories. Brooklyn, NY based MediaStorm is one of those companies that excels at telling its own story – probably because their “principal aim is to usher in the next generation of multimedia storytelling by publishing social documentary projects incorporating photojournalism, interactivity, animation, audio and video for distribution across multiple media.” They’ve worked on some amazing projects that include Intended Consequences, a chronicle of the lives of Rwandan women who “were subjected to massive sexual violence, perpetrated by members of the infamous Hutu militia groups known as the Interahamwe,” and The Marlboro Marine, the story of a marine whose photograph became famous and how “tried to return to his previous life but found his nights haunted by images of war and his life fractured by depression.” MediaStorm seems to deal with a lot of heavy topics, but they certainly have mastered multimedia storytelling.
MediaStorm was founded by Brian Storm in 2005, and in the few years since they’ve won quite a few awards. If you’re looking for an internship in a multimedia production studio and you’re especially interested in social causes, then an internship at MediaStorm might be the perfect place for you to spend a few months. They recently posted on their blog that they’re looking for Spring and Summer interns in multimedia production, design, motion graphics, and web development. They accept applications on a rolling basis for their Spring internships (so it’s not too late), but they have a February 15th deadline for applying to their Summer internship program. They’re flexible with start dates, and the internships are paid. They also are a relatively small company, so you should get a lot of hands on experience. If a few months at MediaStorm sounds like a good time to you, then email a resume, references and cover letter (discussing why you want to intern at MediaStorm and what you hope to get out of the experience) to careers@mediastorm.org. Be sure to include links to pieces you’ve produced/collaborated on (please indicate role in each), available start/end dates, hours/week available, and familiarity with Final Cut Pro, SoundTrack Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Aperture, Flash, and/or proficiency in other related programs.
