The Race was ON for City Chase Chicago 2009!

JenChicago, NBC Chicago Street Team

Last Saturday, my teammate Kristin, and I explored Chicago in the World’s Largest Urban Adventure Series, City Chase Chicago, and Matt was there to catch the excitement on camera!  From jumping hurdles, to strutting the catwalk, the race challenged our bodies, minds and… well, sneakers.  The race started at 10am on Saturday, August 22 and concluded promptly at 4pm.  We went “all out” for 6 hours straight and now, 3 days later, we are still sore.  But it’s that good kind of “I did something really awesome and it’s totally worth it” sore, you know?

Watch the adventure unfold here!

PS: Thanks again to Chicago Sport and Social for sponsoring our registration for the City Chase and to The Joynt, Retro Club and Piano Bar, for sponsoring the video coverage.  Sponsors rock!

Videographer / Editor: Internship

We need a quick, energetic and fun intern to help with the production of an online adventure travel show. The show, Staycation Nation, is currently based in Chicago and no travel is needed at this point but may be an option in the future. We need help with all aspects of production from “pre” to “post”.

The most important requirements are enthusiasm, a willingness to learn and an easy smile. Some of the other duties included are:

o Being physically healthy, as some videos may require some athletic ability to shoot (i.e. on a boat)
o Shooting video of interviews, events and adventures as detailed in storyboard
o Video editing- or a strong desire to learn (currently using Sony Vegas)
o Understanding the importance of editing and how it tells the story
o Staying current on new trends, and news relevant to production
o Uploading to social media sites with provided content and tags (Facebook, Youtube…)
o Looking creatively at scenes to find ways to enhance the shot
o Having a happy face behind the camera (It’s probably the only thing those talking to the camera want to see)

If you want “real world experience”, enjoy a sharp learning curve, and really want to enjoy your work, this just may be the internship for you!

This position is currently unpaid, but includes a flexible schedule and bonuses ranging from gift certificates to parties and VIP access.

If you are interested, please send an email to jen@jenchicago.com with your experience and/or classwork and a note explaining how you think this position will help you move toward your OWN goals!
