So I have my first actual contact. For anonymity, I will refer to the contact as SH. SH works at an awesome company called Obscura Digital (link) that works in phenomenal large scale projections. If you have ever seen San Francisco's City Hall's 100 year celebration, the Exploratorium's opening on Piers 15 & 17, the Visa Superbowl projections, or the Pier 70 Super Bowl projections (linked here, here, here, and here), than you have seen their work and its grand spectacular nature. Not only would interning/shadowing for Obscura International be unbelievable, I think it would be useful. Any sort of production of theirs would require intensely close teamwork and collaboration from people in different fields. This reminds me of Tom and my own project since we will have to work closely even though we will be working different fields, his design and mine development. Anyways, I am excited to have not only this contact, but such an interesting contact. I have called him once today and left a message.
On another note, V, who connected me with SH, still plans on connecting me with more contacts until I manage to successfully secure an internship/shadowing/volunteer opportunity. I am very glad that she is tapping in to her personal and professional relationships for me. The real challenge for me will be cold calling and representing myself well. It will be quite the challenge!
With that being said, I am in a pretty good place right about now. While nothing is set yet, there's both potential and progression. The internship search is no longer stagnating.
