The best part of my job
Special effects are fun to create. When I see a finished movie for the
first time, I’m always pleased and surprised by the work I’ve done.

The worst part of my job
Creating realistic scenes without endangering the actors or stunt
people takes time and precision work. I try very hard to make every
effect appear realistic. The director isn’t satisfied if the scene looks
artificial.
