Introduce yourself…<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ewan Cassidy \u00ad Film and Television Lighting Gaffer<\/em><\/p>\n

Who or what has inspired you to be involved in making film\/moving\u00a0image?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My Dad \u00a0(a back projectionist). He didn’t exactly encourage me to go into the industry but I guess there\u00a0was an inbuilt urge to follow in his footsteps.<\/em><\/p>\n

How has Brighton and Hove influenced your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am sure Brighton & Hove has influenced my work but in what way has not\u00a0become apparent to me! I rarely get the opportunity to work in Brighton which is a\u00a0shame because it has enormous potential.<\/em><\/p>\n

What advice would you give to creative people seeking work or wanting\u00a0to develop their careers in the industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Be the right person at the right time. It’s very important to have the knowledge, the\u00a0right skills and a positive attitude but a bit of luck is very welcome.<\/em><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the most interesting part of your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most interesting part of my job is the last few moments before we turn over.\u00a0Watching all the aspects of the shot coming together as everyone does their job in\u00a0perfect harmony!<\/em><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the most challenging aspect of your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most challenging aspect of my job is boringly the heath & safety. It has to be\u00a0done, risk assessments!<\/em><\/p>\n

Dead or alive, who are the top three people you\u2019d most like to\u00a0collaborate with, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My list of people I have huge respect for changes on a daily basis, today it looks\u00a0like this…<\/em><\/p>\n

Stanley Kubrick \u00ad My dad worked with him and I’ve heard stories about his\u00a0character and would like to experience him myself.<\/em><\/p>\n

Brit Marling \u00ad actor writer director. I have huge respect for anyone that can write\u00a0star in and direct their own film on a very low budget.<\/em><\/p>\n

Jon Favreau \u00ad a recent addition to my list but for the same reason as above.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you could only take one film away with you on a desert island, what\u00a0would it be and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

2001 a Space Odyssey. I have a copy but I don’t watch it. On a desert island I\u00a0could spare 3 hours and imagine my Dad working behind the scenes.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
