In the first week, of my first co-op (and office job) I presented my supervisor with a list of ideas I had for projects, some which involved videography which I had no experience with. In an effort to remove as many barriers as I could to execute on these ideas, I went out and invested my my own DSLR and spent my afterwork hours learning how to use the full breadth of Adobe Creative Suite (which I later complimented with formal classes at the University of Waterloo).
