So what kind of things are you seeing sort of trend-wise in videography at the moment, would you say? Trend-wise...

I mean, we've had a decade of social content, haven't we? Portrait videos, which has changed everything because obviously I do a lot of like campaign work, like PR stuff.

So it's all still kind of landscape, but you always have to have a portrait in line.

So everything's framed for both.

So I still do a lot of landscape brand films, case studies.

I work, like a lot in like documentary now right so i'm still sort of a purist in some ways i still i still get to work in yeah but yeah we've had 10 years of multi-faceted content creation and actually i think it's coming back around now but also because i think budget's yeah yeah i think people are leaning into natural uh natural looking content authentic content yeah where things can be lit a little bit more naturally you use less lights

Is it our podcast? I was going to say this.

No, it wasn't.

with the

royal family, it was decided that it would be opened by Princess Alexandra.

And so she came to open the school.

And one of her requests was that she wanted to meet with a boy from each of the disciplines that was being studied at the school.

And so I represented physics.

So that's another key to how I ended up doing physics.

And so it was decided that I would, in fact, talk to Her Royal Highness about my analog computer.

Well, let's get into it with John Clarke.

... anxiety?

Yeah, that's a great question.

The, the first thing I would say is I'm probably predisposed to some degree of anxiety just biologically, genetically, and so, um, I know that, and I know that my biology is just kind of leans toward anxiety, and it runs in my family.

And so, in, in a way, I, gosh, I just have a lifetime of experience with it.

And part of how I became a therapist, not unlike many therapists, is as a kid and as a teenager, I had tremendous amounts of anxiety, and that showed up in the form of, you know, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, um, even some kind of OCD flavors.

Um, and it was, uh, horrible.

It was really horrible, and feeling really under-resourced to just deal with it.

Mm.

[laughs]

Anyway, so I jumped in and I shot across Fingal Bay, and I was pretty happy with myself until I got pretty close to the apple tree, which is on the opposite, on the other side, and then I thought, "I better put me life jacket on," because, because there was a fair bit of swell running, a bit over two meters, and, and that gets a bit lumpy.

Anyway, so I've st- I've put the mo- the motor in, uh, neutral and just idling, um, and I put the life jacket on and that.

Right, ready to go.

Then I put the motor in, um, gear, and the motor stopped.

I thought, "Oh, okay.

That's all right.

At least you gave it a go.
