T2 + Back Alley Films, located in the Crossroads district of Kansas City, MO, is looking for interns to support our full service production unit. Ideal candidates have a passion for storytelling, a keen eye for composition, basic knowledge of Final Cut 7, experience handling DSLRs, and a healthy dose of “go-get-it” attitude. Think you have what we’re looking for? Show us by submitting a piece to the T2 2-minute Documentary Contest.

Here’s what you need to know about submission:

- Choose a subject of your choice and tell a story in a traditional documentary style

- Total run time must be 2 minutes or less

- Must include at least one on-camera interview to tell the story

- Shot composition (i.e. framing, light design, and use of space) must be well thought out

- Broll should be used effectively

- Can be shot in SD or HD

- Your entry can be a project you’ve completed for a different purpose, or it can be something brand new – we do not care. What we DO care about is how you tell your story.

- Deadline is November 11, 2011 (by midnight)

- Submit to rbangert@t2.tv

T2′s industry peer group: Next stop – KC

I’m a big believer in serendipity — and that’s how I became a part of eCamp, an amazing trade group of industry leaders. I ran into one of the founders of eCamp in Las Vegas where we were promoting our documentary, “The Next American Dream”. He asked me to join and, not being a big “joiner,” I hesitated. But I said I’d give it a try, and when eCamp held their next meeting in Boston, I joined them. I was amazed at how much I learned from others in my industry — and how much I referenced what I learned when I got back home. It’s a great concept, and one of my colleagues in Dallas wrote about it. It’s a fun read and includes some pictures from our last meeting in San Francisco.

And believe it or not, they are all excited to come to Kansas City next September when T2+Back Alley Films will host the group. Boston, San Francisco…Kansas City? Why not?

Experience Lab Design Internship!

T2 is seeking a design intern who has strong interactive intuition. The T2 Experience Lab has been hard at work in experiential design– a medium that we feel connects with people in a whole new way. We do a variety of experiential projects from physical installations with interactive projections to web-based components where the participant feels completely engaged. See the videos below:

Simply put, we’re growing, and we need more design collaborative brainpower to move forward. You must be willing to experiment and work within the applications of Flash, Illustrator, Photoshop and AfterEffects. Google SketchUp experience is a huge plus as well!

You’ll be working on real projects, doing on site visits of spaces and helping design the experience from beginning to end.

If you feel like you would work well in an active environment, please email 6-10 examples of your work along with 2-3 paragraphs of how you could contribute to Garrett Fuselier by June 1st. Not to belittle any of your print skills, but we’ll be primarily looking at digital work, so be sure to weight your sampling appropriately.

We’ll go through a selection process, and the interns will begin on July 1st.
