Currently based in Melbourne, Toby updates,
“I’ve been working over here in the lighting department on
“Carla Cammetti PD” and “Rush” which are new Cop shows for SBS and Channel 10. It’s great working and adapting to the ways of Victorian crews.”
“It’s been a eye opener to working as a 4th electric, especially as I want to be a DOP and learning the ways of the lighting equipment at a technical point of view is expanding my knowledge of being creative with light. I think it’s the way to step up to shoot.”
