4. 0:15workshops I get hired for workshops I do
5. 0:18acting I cast for acting someone might
6. 0:21hide my mocap system so I've got
7. 0:23different streams of income where I
8. 0:25might not be working all the time but I
9. 0:27have the different ones that might come
10. 0:28in this week this one might come in this
11. 0:30week but I'm always active on it the
12. 0:32first half of the year working in TV
13. 0:34you're working in longer days so it's
14. 0:36lighter it's daylight and it frees me up
15. 0:39for the winter months where I can be
16. 0:41working in theater where you've got
17. 0:44pantomime season you've got Christmas
18. 0:45shows so it can be busy then I'd say
19. 0:47there's a clear benefit in working in
20. 0:50illustration and graphic design on the
21. 0:51side it for one helps me afford pursuing
22. 0:55animation there's also like a nice
23. 0:56overlap of skills sort of like keeps me
24. 0:59um well versed in softwares and design
25. 1:01and sort of reminding me to work with
26. 1:04people and like liaise with clients I
27. 1:07think it puts me in a strong position
28. 1:09where I can be considered for a wide
29. 1:11range of projects you know rather than
30. 1:12just someone that would be considered
31. 1:14for a documentary it helps me to keep
32. 1:16growing because every time I try a new
33. 1:18genre I'm a novice you know so I have to
34. 1:21start from scratch and I really enjoy
35. 1:23that process I think it's actually super
36. 1:25cool that I get asked to be a part of
37. 1:28all sorts of different projects going
38. 1:30from corporate to film and TV to live
39. 1:34music immersive spaces there is actually
40. 1:36quite a lot of demand where these skills
41. 1:38tend to overlap so it actually gives me
42. 1:41a lot of freedom both Financial but also
43. 1:43Freedom of Choice one of the reasons for
44. 1:46diversifying into the waste management
45. 1:48and also the equal claims was being able
46. 1:51to have more family time I didn't have
47. 1:53to commit myself to you know six month
48. 1:55contracts or these long jobs where I was
49. 1:58working five days a week 14 15 hours a
50. 2:01day as a location manager I'm never out
51. 2:03of work in fact I turn down work I you
52. 2:06know I love my job so I'm thrilled to be
53. 2:08constantly busy but that's the main
54. 2:10benefit is that when one part of it
55. 2:12dries up and that's the industry it's
56. 2:14ups and downs it's a roller coaster I
57. 2:16can jump back into another sector you
58. 2:18don't have to be one thing as a person
59. 2:20you can enjoy multiple things for me
60. 2:22I've just been lucky enough that they
61. 2:23also happen to pay me
62. 2:26[Music]
63. 2:38thank you
