At just 18 years old, Christopher Hills is already a
YouTube sensation and master video producer and editor.
The Sunshine Coast teenager - who likes Doctor Who, Marvel
movies and Star Wars but is most passionate about aviation - will give his
first presentation on video editing at Brisbane's Apple store on Thursday
night.
Hills will speak specifically about the impact that Switch
Control, an accessibility program built into iOS and OS X, has had on allowing
his career to flourish.
Hills lives with cerebral palsy and quadriplegia, and
relies on technology and software he can control with a button located at the
back of his wheelchair headrest.
Tapping the button with his head allows Hills to toggle
through screens, surf the web, and edit video content.
"Whenever I get to show people what I'm capable of and
I see their absolute amazement and help them see that it is also possible for
them to be more capable, it inspires me to keep on going," he said via
email.
