^^^^ Well damo, I worked my way down to this job.. It has been a series of happen chance really and nothing I ever studied for or even aspired to. In my late teens I was a model. This lead to me be asked to present various "youth" television programmes during the 90's. These did well. I earned good money, travelled the world. While filming these I developed a keen interest in camera work and specifically camera lighting. Not have the pure driven desire to be a TV presenter I quit and fucked off to the French Alps where I meet Mrs Brave. I came back from there and pursued a career behind the camera. training as a camera assistant and sound op.. From my experience working in TV I was asked to direct and produce for the company where I was working. After three years back on location I was once again mired in the hatred of TV but knowing nothing else took my first desk job coordinating camera kits and crews. Pretty much it really.
I still loath the industry.. And in fact looking to to get out.. But I earn a decent wage and my dispassionate approach actually makes me a good negotiator..
