Studio Travel Bag

Written By Christal Jerez

Back when I was a young intern, I learned the hard way on what was essential to carry with me. There were many times it felt like I saved the day because I had spare 1/4 inch adapters in my bag in the middle of the night. More often than not, I would be spending my nights and mornings at the studio, with no chance to freshen up so the essentials didn’t only include studio related things. I eventually had a small duffle bag filled with my necessities - from random cables to toiletries to a blanket. Read below for a list of what I carried with me:

This might seem small, but making yourself available by not having to run out for things opens up so many opportunities. It also shows preparedness not just for yourself but also for your work. Think about what you would need or what you can contribute. Share any ideas you might have in the comments!
