    As a Content Production Intern, my main role consisted of translating (ENG/CHI/Cantonese) and transcribing raw footage of documentaries filmed in China for international broadcast companies like CCTV. These documentaries revolved around topics such as Traditional Chinese Medicine and old ancient crafts, among others. Besides post-production, I contributed to research and logistics for pre-production as well, such as translating documents to help source for filming locations and overseas accommodation for our filming crew, as well as other smaller banking-related administrative tasks.
