I generally tell people I’m a prop maker. We’re getting more into production/lighting design as a company as well as hire/construction.
I got into it thru a guy I used to do trees with back when the company used to do a lot of sketchy raves, basically they wanted someone who was happy to climb the girders/roofs of knackered warehouses without asking too many questions.
Since leaving trees earlier in the year I’ve ended up here more or less full time making stuff and running the workshop while the boss focuses on the bigger picture. He’s been in business close to 20 years now, aside from all our production pieces he has a lovely collection of original mirrorballs and related tooling from the 1930s onwards which really needs photographing at some point.
It’s pretty random and I live with glass splinters all the time but it’s all good.
