“Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast". - Alice in Wonderland.
I do impossible things. Whether I’m practicing sleight of hand, creating methods for magic shows or solving the “impossibilities” which arise during the making of a T.V show, my life is all about doing the impossible.
T.V and Magic are similar. They both involve creating amazing moments for an audience of any size. Each can, at its best, challenge and inspire. When they don’t, fingers crossed they’ll at least entertain (or should do!).
In both cases, an audience should never be aware of the underlying workings. Just as you should never see what makes a magic trick work neither should you be aware of the edits, shot choice and grading which allows great content to take you on a journey and entertain. But those are the very things I love about TV, the process, the teamwork and taking something from an idea to reality.
I’ve learnt to edit, use Photoshop, After Effects, Resolve and AVID. I’m constantly learning about new tools to help me and the amazing teams I work with to communicate great ideas, innovate and have an impact on the audience. Without the chance to tinker and be creative I’d go insane.
I’m lucky that my hobbies and my job are almost identical. It means I go to work and play.
