Picture Car Coordinator
I own and operate a vehicle special effects company that supplies cars for movies like "Fast & Furious".
On daily basis, my team and I are building hundreds of cars for a variety of custom projects including movies and television. People will call us with a project pitch, we will negotiate a budget and then start working on designs and fabrications. Some of my favorite parts of my job include the design process and coming up with fun ideas, road testing the car once it's almost finished, and then seeing the finished product on the big screen.
Here's the first step for high school students
If cars are your passion, read and learn all that you can and stick with it. Always strive to be the best in your field.
"If all you want to do is work on cars all day, we are going to send you away to an automotive school."
