結束在巴黎的課程之後，我出發到柏林的動態工作室開始實習。
現在想想也是有點瘋狂，法文還沒學好也不會說德文，然後英文退步一大截後去一家全部人都是英文母語程度的公司實習，只能說上班前幾天真的快要緊張死。不過工作室的大家都非常友善，讓我放鬆不少> < 剛結束我實習的第一週，就帶大家看看我實習的公司吧！
After finishing the course in Gobelins, I left for Berlin to start my internship. It’s a bit crazy. I can’t speak German and my English became so poor after this year. And then I was in a studio where all the people are fluently English speakers. I can only say that I was nervous to die during the first week. However, everyone in the studio is very friendly and kind which makes me feel relax a lot > <. I just finished the first week of my internship, let’s take a look about this studio!
Kingdom of Something.
我目前實習的工作室叫做Kingdom of Something，由四位瑞典人創立的Motion Graphic公司。他們是在兩三年在阿姆斯丹唸 Motion Graphic的時候認識的，目前有一位成員常駐在阿姆斯特丹。除我之外還有一位來自美國的實習生，所以平常大家都用英文溝通，不過他們有時候還是會用瑞典文，這時候就真的都聽不懂惹～～
I am currently the intern in Kingdom of Something which is a motion graphic studio founded by four Swedes. They met while they were studying Motion Graphic in Amsterdam three years ago. At this moment, one member lives in Amsterdam. Besides me, there is also an intern from the United States, so usually, we all communicate in English, but sometimes they still speak Swedish. (BTW I only know one bad word in Swedish)
他們在做什麼呢？ What are we doing?
公司主要是接創意公司發包下來的製作案，接的案子有來自瑞典也有杜拜或是奈及利亞的案子。可以說是非常國際化。有時候會是要從頭發想故事，有時候也會是拿到腳本之後的影片製作。因為內部與外部都是遠距離工作，所以在溝通上面的模式與軟體都已經發展得相當完全。附上一隻我很喜歡的作品～（當初就是透過這支找到他們的～）
The studio mainly working on video making, motion clips, and animation. The cases can from Sweden, Dubai or Nigeria, which is very international. Most of the time we create stories and sometimes we follow the script. Because both internal and external working process is long-distance, the workflow and software have been developed quite properly.(The video below is one of their works!)
公司環境 Office Environment
我們與一間Creative Design公司共用一間工作室，整體環境非常舒適，偶而還會有大狗狗來拜訪。除了有會議室沙發椅外，還有廚房！！大家中午的時候會去附近的超市買食材，中午就現煮來吃。跟我在法國唸書的時候大家一起吃便當的文化相當不一樣～
We share a studio with a Creative Design company. Overall, the atmosphere is very comfortable. Occasionally some dogs visit. We have a meeting room, sofa area, and a kitchen!! Usually, people will go to the supermarket nearby to buy some food then cook for lunch. The culture of lunch was quite different from when I was studying in France ~
工作態度 Working Attitude
我上班的第一天真的非常讓我驚豔，我收到一本線上實習生手冊，上面把薪資、命名方法、工作流程、工作計時，還有推薦書單全部都寫得清清楚楚，甚至連在google上面使用文件的字級與樣式都有規定。我覺得是我待過的各個工作室以來，對員工教育與工作流程細節做得最好的！然後還有一點有趣的是公司一切都是透明化，報價單，email，proposal等，都是全員包含實習生看過之後再送出，以確保大家對公司的所有案子都在同一線上。
I felt amazing on the first day. I received an online “Pledge of Allegiance” manual, which clearly mentions the workflow, naming, timing, and some recommendations of books. There are also rules for the styles using on Google. Since I have been working in various studios, I think they have the best staff education and workflow details! There is also something interesting – transparency. Invoices, emails, and proposals are seen by everyone to ensure that everyone understands what’s going on with every project.
我身為實習生在做些什麼呢? What am I doing as an intern?
通常身為實習生都是在等待著被下達指令，我一直以來也是如此。不過讓我覺得非常驚奇的是我在被面試還有剛進來的時候，都有被詢問說，我在這裡的這兩個月要做些什麼，所以第一天就提了想要做自主專案的主題，全公司的大家也都一起提出意見與資源（感動）。不過還是要以公司的案子為主，所以目前主要的工作是發想、做提案簡報，然後還有負責一些比較不複雜的動畫製作。因為公司目前在重新整頓視覺，所以也會一邊設計公司品牌，空閒時間才是自主專案，所以可以說是非常充實。
Usually, I always wait for someone to tell me what to do. However, what surprised me was that I was asked what I want to do. So I proposed to do a side-project about my life in Paris. Gratefully, all my colleagues give me opinions and resources. However, it is still necessary to focus on the main cases. I participate brainstorm, making a proposal, and trying to help with some simple motions. Because we are rebranding now, I am also working on it. Therefore, I think I will have a substantial internship in these two month.
心境 My thoughts for the first week.
開始實習的第一個禮拜真的是緊張到不行，然後因為語言上的轉換，常常聽話的時候腦中一片空白，或是要講話的時候找不到單字，發想的時候很難精準地表達想法，對於工作上的流程還是會有卻步。像是對於自己的設計非常沒有自信等等，但是希望都可以在第二週漸入佳境> <
I was really stressed and anxious for the first week. Because of the new environment, new friends, new culture, and new working content, I was always afraid to make mistakes or offend someone. I had a lot of blank moments when I was thinking m, also I couldn’t find a word when I wanted to say something. I was lack of confidence to convey my thoughts. But hopefully, I wish I can get better in the second week.
然後歡迎大家留言想了解的細節呦～～
