Scott Simmons
Scott Simmons was born in rural West Tennessee and didn't really realize that movies and tv had to be made by actual people until he went to college. After getting degrees in both Television Production and Graphic Design he was in one of the early graduating classes at the Watkins Film School in Nashville, Tennessee. During that time at Watkins he discovered editing. While most of his classmates in film school wanted to be directors, Scott saw real career opportunities in post production and took a job as an assistant editor after completing film school. In 1999, Scott took the leap into freelancing and in 2007 accepted a position as an editor at Filmworkers - Nashville. In 2005 Scott created The Editblog a website dedicated to all things editing and post-production which is now housed here at PVC. Someday he hopes to edit on a beach with a touch screen device, a wireless hard drive and a Red Stripe.

ReelDirector lets the iPhone 3GS really edit videoIt’s a simple editor but it works
Months ago when the new Apple iPhone 3GS hit the market I questioned the claim that it could edit video, prefering the more proper term of “trimming.” But with the new app ReelDirector that desire to edit on the phone has become a reality. Word popped up on Twitter tonight that this app exists. I downloaded it and performed my first ever edit on an iPhone! more »

Automagic part I: PluralEyes autosyncing softwarePluralEyes can automagically sync your multicamera shoots and music videos
As I was making my way around the show floor of NAB 2009 my friend Shane Ross said that I had to check out this tiny little booth over at the plug-in pavilion and demo this product called PluralEyes from a little company called Singular Software. My first thought was ... “PluralEyes, that’s an odd name.” Seconds later I headed straight to the booth. Automatic synchronization without timecode. Is this for real? It is. more »First impressions of the Tangent WaveA control surface for Apple Color can really increase your productivity
I was very excited when a big FedEx box arrived a couple of weeks ago with a Tangent Wave control surface for Apple Color. I had a series of short videos that I was soon to be cutting and finishing and I wanted to finally give Color the proper test it deserved. I haven’t been a fan of Color in the past, what with its non-standard interface (when compared with most Mac applications), difficulty moving an edit from Final Cut Pro to the app and back again as well as general buggyness. Those issues have kept me from using it, instead opting for Colorista (when in Final Cut Pro) for color correction duties. After speaking with Tangent Devices, they agreed to send a Wave control surface over for testing. Combine that with the recent 1.5 update to Color and I decided it was time to give the app another try. But this isn’t about Color but rather first impressions using the Wave with Color. more »

Baseline is a very visual and very clever way to manage disk spaceBut it’s still a bit buggy. Here’s hoping for continued updates.
As editors and media content creators we can often accumulate tons of large video and audio files as well as hundreds of thousands of tiny little (and sometimes not so tiny and little) supporting files. Be they QuickTime movies, graphics, audio files, render files, edit project files, autosaves ... the list is pretty much endless. What if there was a way to visually look at all of the files on a hard disk and get a big picture overview of all those files on the disk. There is, it’s called Baseline. And while it’s far from perfect it’s a nice start. more »

Motion Graphics: Friday Inspiration
Notes From The motion09 Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Getting inspired by watching motion graphics design and visual effects on TV or the web is one thing. Getting to hear from and hang out with the artists who create the outstanding work we see in motion picture title sequences, trailers, broadcast design packages, games and commercials is quite another.
