I've stopped being a ghostbuster after I realised that ghosts were probably just shadows.
I'm now a movie special effects man. I'm working on a disaster movie called "Ramp", which is about a big ramp that gets a crack in it and almost collapses. In one scene I had to show a man falling out of a window. Rather than push a real man out of a real window, I suspended a mock-up window from a hot air balloon and pushed a disguised cat through it.

I'm currently working on a big-budget sci-fi film called "The Egg From Space". It's about this egg-shaped rock which falls out of the sky and lands in a chicken shed.
I was asked to do the effects for a scene in which the main character, played by Martin Sheen, tries to eat the rock. Sheen was required to break his teeth on the rock. Unfortunately, the rock was too soft, so we had to fit tiny explosives in his mouth which shattered his teeth on cue.
