My Panavision Internship was part of a longer period of career-development from Jan-May 1995, and lasted 6 weeks at the company's, then Tarzana, HQ in Los Angeles covering all aspects of operations. The company has since moved to new premises in Woodland Hills which I'm more than familiar with.

 

Areas Covered:

• Camera Rental
• HD Camera Development Department
• Camera Maintenance
• Electronics Department
• Lens Maintenance, Collimation and Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) calibration
• Camera and Equipment Preparation
• Fluid & Geared Head Maintenance
• Shipping & Receiving

Due to an outbreak of flu, I was invited to cover a staff shortage in Lens Maintenance for 2 weeks, servicing lenses, and resulting in a 2 week extension in my time with the company.

 

During my time there, PV acquired the contract for 'Cutthroat Island' at short notice, and we prepped and shipped 167 cases of equipment in under 12 hours.

I can bring the knowledge and skills gained from this experience to your organisation.
