Over the years, i've travelled through time,
breathed life back into dinosaurs and blown up entire planets.
Today, i work at industrial Light & Magic,
but my interest in special effects goes back to my childhood.
i remember seeing the alien in The War Of The worlds zap
some soldiers with a ray gun and i thought to myself,
"I want to do that." My father had a home movie camera and
i filmed my brother pretending to be a soldier.
Then i filmed some firework exploding. My mum went crazy
when she saw it, but my dad thought it was really funny and
that was all the encouragement i needed.
