Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I work in video production in the Immersive Studio, recording customers, partners and colleagues within SAP for interviews, press releases and marketing assets. I edit creative video requests and often travel off-site to film events and produce aftermovies. Being in the Creative Team also involves designing creative assets for user interaction and experience, for personalised showcases and summits.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Absolutely. Being "thrown" into direct customer-facing projects from the first months of the placement allowed me to adapt quickly to new environments and acquire new skills fast, whilst being supported and mentored by more experienced team members throughout. The level of trust and responsibility SAP gives to interns is unmatched, and I really felt like making an impact with my work rather than satisfying basic admin tasks that other placement providers might give interns.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Coming from a video production background, I have never done graphic design work before but was still trusted to work on customer design projects from the first few months. This allowed me to learn whilst doing, mentored by experienced professionals and a collaborative team. The placement also took my video editing skills to a higher level, experimenting with new tools and more complex software to create sophisticated and creative videos.
