Animator and visual effects man Rick Skelton chats to SteamTeam about his (sometimes very messy!) work on Sooty, offers his advice to anyone who wants to break into the industry and much more! It’s been a gradual process, more of a side-line for a few years. I've always been interested in TV and film 'behind the scenes' since I was young. (I’m the sort of person that buys a DVD, and watches 'The Making Of...' before the film itself!) I worked for a company that provided big visuals for shows on stage, but my dream was to own my own visual effects company. So I took a big leap and did just that – and not looked back since!
