Mr. Ryan Geist:
After taking many courses in Ball States University Telecommunications program, I know that I
am ready to further my knowledge and skills as an intern for your company, Pentavision. For the
past four years I have been studying production and have created many videos, DVD designs, and
audio recordings for various projects here at Ball State. Like Pentavision, I listen and understand
the client so I can make the best possible product that will go beyond their expectations and fulfill
their needs.
This internship will give me much needed experience, not only with creating a good project, but
also understanding the business aspect of production. I have directed music videos and short
documentaries. I also have acted in many short films and documentaries. I recorded foley sounds
and ADR for the Ball State HD summer movie, Revisited, which will be released on DVD later
on this year. I understand that Pentavision creates websites and does some graphic design work
for clients. My knowledge of programs like Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Dreamweaver will help
expand this area of the business. I have also become very familiar Protools HD and Final Cut to
enrich my passion for video and audio.
I already have relationships with not only yourself but also most of all the other owners of the
company. I have worked for you with recording Notre Dame Football games and helped you
create the weekly series “Notre Dame Primetime.” I believe that I will be able to bring a young,
positive attitude to your company and will have knowledge and experience with the newest
technology in a field. My experience with video recording and the ear for high quality sound for a
project will be an asset for your company. I always have a positive attitude and I am very easy to
work with. I look forward to creating rewarding project for the clients and I am looking forward
to knowledge that I am going to gain from working with your company.
I have attached a copy of my resume to this letter and I am looking forward to having an
interview with you to discuss my background and my experiences more in depth. I have included
my email address and my phone number, so I can be reached at anytime. I would like to thank
you for your consideration and the amazing opportunity that you have presented me with. I hope
that you consider myself as a valuable inter for the summer of 2011.
Sincerely,
Robin O’Sullivan
