Jack Mullan here, providing a few last musings on my time as a Howcast summer intern. Let me start by saying — it was a busy one! I sent tons of e-mails, wrote blog posts, watched and commented on dozens of videos, and completed any office task that came my way. And through all that hard work, I now have irrefutable evidence for any skeptics that I did do something while at Howcast. I’m talking, of course, about the intern video: How To Stand Up for Yourself.

That’s me, as the protagonist/confidence-builder. If you dare doubt my abilities as an actor, I’ll have to stand up for myself in person and exhibit my true bullying qualities. Seriously, I had a great time shooting the video. We encountered numerous obstacles along the way, but we managed to deal with every ordeal we faced (including keeping ice cream cold on a hot summer day in Washington Square Park). Acting without words was a personal challenge, especially when you’re playing a character undergoing a transformation. I definitely have more respect for the robots in Transformers now.
