Editing your own camera work is a great way to hone your skills as it allows you to see the mistakes you have made and realise how things could have been done better,  therefore facilitating continued learning.   Getting on with the team is fundamental not only because your thrown together for long periods, but any contributor needs to be relaxed to allow them to open up and provide engaging documentary material.   So a sense of humour and perspective are two of my most valued skills.
 
My career has been unusually diverse. I have been an Editor, a Camera Op and a Director, the skills I have gained in each field of expertise are what I draw upon as a Self Shooting Director.  When I am not working my interests include reading about history archaeology and science, wood work and having outdoor adventures.
