Scott Gentry

Scott Gentry started his career as a child actor then moving to ABC All My Children first in production straight out of college, then in front of the camera for a short stint as a regular walk-on (woo-hoo!).

Scott also worked the stadium camera for NY Jets and Giants games, as well a a multitude of events at the Meadowlands arena in NJ. From there he got into publishing and 6 months after sending his resume to DV magazine, he was the publisher. DV went from last to first place and Scott moved on to AV Video Multimedia Producer and led the team to turn that into Studio Monthly and launch Studio Daily.

Scott founded and helped establish PVC by gathering the best writers and video gurus in the market and putting them all in one place.

Have You Ever Screwed up a Live Feed?

Boy I have…

I’ve made a few errors in my day, and when you’re working with a live feed, you can be in for a world of hurt, embarrassment or both.

Back in the day, I used to work at the Meadowlands Racetrack in New Jersey.  I did myriad of jobs including camera for the Giants, Jets, horse racing, special events and more.  Over time, I took a regular position inside from the cold an managed the live simulcast of the horse racing from the Meadowlands.  Not super glamorous mind you, but it was evening work, and it left my days free to pursue freelance and other such things.

As you may know, the Canon lenses on the Ikegami’s used there are incredible in their focal adjustments.  From New Jersey, you could zoom in real tight to the Empire State building and as a man, whatever pretty young woman that might happen within view was ultimately a target (boy are men pigs or what?).  With all men on camera and in the control room, except for one brave woman, the imagery and the communication over the headsets can get rather…interesting.
