The past two days have been crazy! On Monday Rebecca, Carolina, and I went with the team to a studio in Wakefield where Jayna Lininger recorded six songs. She did three takes of each song but didn’t even need three, she did so well on every one. There was a make-up artist, a photographer, and a producer present, in addition to the Esente team.

Jayna wore the same pants the whole time but changed her top/jewelry/makeup after every song, creating six unique looks because the footage only showed her from the waist up. It was awesome to be a part of the process and to really understand what goes into a hot mic session. I was so impressed by Jayna’s voice, too. I have heard her songs of course but nothing compares to live music and the songs suited her really well. I felt like I was at a country concert.

Yesterday we left around 11 o’clock to head out to Clinton, MA for a photo shoot. The location was a crazy old warehouse with tons of rooms, each with a set of props made up to look like a specific scene. We were in a pretty plain room that looked like a standard warehouse photo shoot room but the team worked with huge rolls of covered paper, backdrops, and lights to make lots of different, interesting shots. We also traveled around the building, shooting in many different locations.

At one point the other interns and I checked out the upstairs. The floor was divided into two sections. One side was a gigantic room filled with abandoned broken and dirty props. It was fascinating but really creepy. The other half was a fully equipped boxing gym! It had two full size rings and tons of boxing materials. Even though it felt a little bit like an insane asylum, the location was fascinating. We moved through the shoot quickly and efficiently and wrapped around 5 o’clock. I’m only here a couple more days and this week feels like the perfect finale.

Have an awesome day!
