“When I started working it was actually a battle for me to figure out whether I should try to shoot more [as opposed to working in grip and electric]. But I feel like it definitely gave me a good foundation for lighting to be able to work under different gaffers and [cinematographers] and it was a great experience to see the variety of different ways that they lit. It gave me a catalogue of lots of different lighting approaches, which has been a very helpful resource to have.”
