I was given the opportunity to work on Mission Impossible Fallout film for a year, I was there from near the beginning to the very end doing various jobs for the skydiving sequence.

Some of the different jobs were as follows:

Built various useful items such as bags to easily store and carry the equipment.

I also aided in the design and manufacture of unique skydiving equipment, Such as a harness for the large camera equipment that one of the skydivers had to use, to film the sequence.

There were various customisation that we had to make to the skydiving equipment, such as creating a pocket for the radios etc
