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.

Another amazing, probably mostly practical Old Spice commercialGreat advertising will get you to actually watch the ads, over and over
It was just after the Super Bowl that I posted a piece about the amazing Old Spice commercial that was all the rage of this year’s Super Bowl ads. The discussion about how it was made was equally fascinating. Today a new one was release and while there’s no making of just yet that I could find this one is fun to watch. It wasn’t all a practical shoot as there has to be some wire removal. Watch frame by frame on the sky splitting apart as it’s fun to see the set just starting to move. It’s creative advertising like this that will get people to watch advertising. The other two ads in this series are embed after the jump. more »DSLR Post Webinar available On Demand, extra questions answeredWe answered a few questions in the podcast ... here’s a few more.

A tour around Avid Media Composer 5.0’s interface changesVeteran Avid editors will notice quite a few new things with this upgrade
With any big software upgrade there’s going to be changes. Some visible, some not so visible. Personally, I love those changes ... as long as they add new or needed functionality without getting in the way. One of the big things we often worry about with big upgrades are interface changes that might clutter up a clean design or impart on the editor additions or subtractions that might seem more like a step backwards. Of course much of this type of thing is subjective. One editor’s productivity enhancement is another editor’s unnecessary feature. With that said, here’s a look at some of the bigger interface enhancements that I noticed upon first working with Avid Media Composer 5.0. more »Page 1 of 1 pages Advertisement |
