Berner’s mission is to save energy and create healthy, comfortable environments.  Our vision is an air curtain on every door.  We are looking for an innovative, creative and practical individual with design aptitude to help us achieve our goal.

We are looking for a Visual Storytelling intern for the Summer of 2012
Enhance our storytelling processes through compelling, information-driven visuals.  The project is to increase our ability to visually tell the story of what our products do, their benefits, where they should be used and how it’s done in the various formats used today (Web, new media, print collateral, product packaging, etc..).  Working with Berner staff, you will be writing, shooting, creating and editing pictures, and video.

Proposed internship project goals, objectives, outcomes:
An internship with Berner can provide you an opportunity to integrate your academic knowledge with work experience while being exposed to different aspects of our company.  We offer you the chance to help shape our company and how and what we communicate.  We give you a hands-on experience that will allow you to apply what you've learned in school to real-world projects.  The experience and skills gained will be a positive addition to your resume and portfolio.  Though roles and responsibilities vary, you will work alongside experienced professionals, as well as on your own.

Type of student sought:
  • Multimedia / creative content student with at least 3 years of studies from an accredited institute of higher learning completed
  • Expected: Knowledge of the basics of light and dark, lighting and shading, photography, illustration, film, video editing, graphics, storyboarding, Adobe Creative Suite, which includes Photoshop, Illustrator, etc., and other multimedia formats and tools
  • Bring with you: professional video / photography equipment (either your own or your school’s)
  • A plus: animation skills

Individual must be comfortable with taking initiative, able to work within a team, yet also be comfortable with working independently.  There will be guidance, support and interaction with the Development team, but we do not like to handhold.  The atmosphere at Berner is friendly, open and respectful.
