Dan Baugh: Well I don't really know what you would want to know about me. I have always liked TV and films and I’ve always had an artistic eye and a wild imagination. The only problem with having an artistic eye in my case is that when I tried my hand at painting, drawing and carving I was never able to create the image I had in my mind. As for having a wild imagination that’s good whatever age you are but I couldn’t see how I could transfer my over active imagination from my childhood into something constructive when I hit my teens when playing in the back garden wasn’t ‘cool’ anymore. Then I got a webcam, I was able to start creating videos I owe a great deal to my two best friends because if they hadn’t come round my house one day many years ago, if we hadn’t got bored and pulled out that webcam and started creating naive little skits in my room it is quite possible that I would have never considered film making as a career. From the point of making those first few webcam videos I haven’t stopped thinking about what I could do next, how I could make the next video better than the last and I can only assume that this will continue to be the case until the day I can’t make another.
