Thom Beal –
Camera Operator
Q. Hi Thom. Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I’m 25 and have the inability to grow a noteworthy beard; my main sources of inspiration are Andrea Pirlo & Zach Galifianakis. Like Joey Tribiani & most of Italy (bit of a stereotype), I love Pizza.
Q. What would you consider your main strengths?
I can get along with most people quite easily as well as my neck and shoulder. They support my rather large head.
Q. Can you give us one fact about yourself that nobody will know?
I have a blue birthmark.

– Camera Operator
Q. Hi Tom. Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I hail from Preston and am a keen spectator of most sports. I no longer play due to sustaining multiple injuries, including a dislocated knee when trying to imitate Shakira’s ‘She Wolf’ in a nightclub in Lancaster.
Q. What would you consider your main strengths?
I have extremely stretchy skin and a rubbery face, strengths cultivated through years of wishing I was Jim Carrey when I was younger.
Q. Can you give us one fact about yourself that nobody will know?
I have no nipples.
A big hello from the camera department!!
In the last issue, we met everybody at the studios except the three camera operators.
As we have Richard Williams starting this month, a camera guy in the form of stills photography, we thought it would be a good time to meet everybody else whose eyes are attached to viewfinders all day too.
