I sent them all off and they took a listen. I made 5 or 6 little songs total so that our marketing team would have a variety of songs to choose from.
Once I had these tracks completed, I added them all together and turned the whole thing into an MP3 with a program called GoldWave. I selected the different instruments I wanted to use, and one by one, recorded their parts separately.
#HER INTERACTIVE INTERNSHIPS SOFTWARE#
To actually record the songs, I used a MIDI controller (which is basically just a piano keyboard that plugs into your computer) and a music software program called Reason. When I had a few ideas in my head that I was happy with, I started to play around on the piano with some of these concepts, trying to encourage the melodies to grow and develop. I thought of other sounds and songs I've heard that also remind me of these feelings as well. From there, I tried to imagine what each of these feelings might sound like, if it were in fact a sound, rather than a feeling. I thought of mystery, adventure, danger, excitement, and fun. In order to create the music for our animated logo, I started off by trying to think of what feelings our games invoked in me. I'm proud to announce its completion, and have managed to attain a bit of insight on the process from our own resident sound engineer, James. Hello hello! Last week I reported on a project that we were working on to add a musical accent to our HI logo animation. Remember follow your passions and your dreams! So that’s about it, you can find all of our internship and job postings on our website, so if you’re interested, check there every so often. In fact, one of our longest running employees was the very 1st HI intern and he’s now the Creative Director! We’ve got programmers and artists alike who started their HI careers first as interns. An internship at HI is an educational experience, a starting point for a journey into game production. Our hope is that you will learn and discover the joys and struggles of the job and the industry. So how is this process similar/different for internships? Well, the internships we offer ask more for dedication and fervor than they do experience. The HI team utilizes a combination of silly antics and creative genius to keep the workplace efficient and part of the interview process allows us to determine whether or not HI is a good fit for you, and vice-versa. These applicants then come to Her Interactive for interviews and we get to meet them and ask more job specific questions. Usually we choose people that have shown a history of dedication, hard-work, and the experience. Of course, being a big fan of Nancy Drew is a must!ĭuring the application process, we read a lot of resumes that come in before narrowing down the pool. There are also artists, testers, marketers, programmers, and accountants that we hire, since making a game takes a lot of coordination between lots of people. For instance, one of our most cherished designers got his degree in “French,” while another studied to be a zookeeper! One thing that they share however is a lot of creativity and an understanding and passion for game design. Now mostly the schooling and experience help to best define the candidate, but it isn’t always a deal breaker. When new jobs open up, we post them here first, along with a list of skills and experience/education that we feel is necessary to handle the position. If you’re curious about when jobs become available then you can always check our website here: Our webmaster does a pretty dutiful job of keeping it up to date. We only add to the staff when it becomes a necessity. I figure I can give you the inside scoop on this process.įirst and foremost, HI isn’t hiring all the time.
So a lot of people have been asking about internships and employment opportunities at HI.
Sorry for the late post, but this one is sure to be golden!
