My First Day at Quiet Storm

by Dennis Gyamfi


On November 30th 2007, I had my first day at Quite Storm agency after being referred from the 'Am I digital' project by film director Richard Jobson who asked me to see a lady called Kate who was a producer at the agency. I arrived at their offices in London's west end in time for my interview, when I arrived they already have things for me to do, lucky me!

I was asked to arrange the details and images for a 'story board' for an American advertisement. I completed it with the help from a girl called Donna, while i was there i met the stylist, editor Steve and even the CEO Trevor who with Kate showed me around the building and introduced me to everyone working there writers, producers, actors and photographers.

This was my first day and I never expected this kind of treatment, but I was treated nicely and I really enjoyed working with them as they explained everything in detail and made sure I understood before moving forward with the subject. However there was a lot of moving about that day and sitting on computers and it was a very long day getting the advert ready but it was worth it as I learnt so many things I never knew before. I also think they liked working with me as when I'd finished my work they told me the next day a car would pick me up from my home and take me to the film studios and see the advertisement being filmed for the Americans it was a great feeling to know I had been taken on board in this way and been working alongside professionals who know so much more about the media than I do. Hopefully they'll ask me back!
