Warner Work
While time may have passed, the memories and lessons learned during my stint as a Digital Production Intern remain as vivid as ever.
From June 2023 to June 2023, I had the privilege of immersing myself in the world of digital production, where every day brought new challenges and exciting opportunities for growth. Working alongside a talented team, I had the chance to perfect my skills across a diverse range of platforms and tasks, allowing me to leave a mark on the projects I contributed to.
As I look towards the future, I am immensely grateful for the experiences and friendships cultivated during my time at Warner Bros. Discovery. They will forever remain a cherished part of my professional story.
01
Launching a TikTok
Whilst on my placement year I decided I wanted to pitch, launch and create content for a Cartoonito global account. There were numerous hurdles and even a few huge barricades that meant I spent months adjusting my plan of attack just for further changes to be made. As a university student, my clients are hypothetic or completely new to the industry so depend on my knowledge to execute the plan. Having multiple people rely on me, and know more than me on a project I wanted to run, was a completely terrifying situation. However, I managed to launch the account and am really proud of the content I made for it.
02
YouTube Subscribers
A huge task of mine was the schedule, name, edit and create thumbnails for gameplay videos. In total I made over 100 thumbnails for this channel and had a video posted everyday of the week. Under my management the YouTube channel grew from 12,000 subscriber to over 43,400 subscribers and has over 8 million views since launch. This wasn't a small effort and I came into the job knowing very little about YouTube, but I left having learnt how to optimise a channel, how to game the algorithm and make great looking graphics that users want to click on.
03
Launching a Game
Whilst on placement, I worked with an agency to produce my first ever game Cartoon Network Crazy Golf and it's a massive hit with users. I've learnt the insane process and what is required at all points of the project from initial ideas to beta to localisation testing to producing the graphic for the app store. Every step involved and was authorised by me. I love this game and I'm so proud of the finished game.
04
Creating and Directing a Series
This is a series I crafted, directed and painstakingly edited together to perfectly fit with an existing episode. This creative approach, using the existing library and the newly designed Roblox world, created new exciting video content that was produced as shorts and full length videos. This project shows how we can up-cycle existing work to create fun free videos. This video took weeks to make but allowed for us to work with creators at Roblox to make a test environment where I could work and make changes to, to support the making of this type of content. This was a super fun project!
