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.

A video for Post-Production / Motion Graphics nerds to enjoyEveryone else just move along as you may not get this NSFW video.
This very well produced and very topical video is making the rounds today. I saw it via Twitterer beerad who is one of the co-creators. It certainly took someone some time and effort and as a post-production nerd who gets most of the references in the video I thank them for it! Motion graphics people will probably enjoy it most of all. NSFW.

Advertisement Vivitar introduces a breakthrough $10 camera, for your grandfatherWho knew you could still buy this stuff!
There’s a great video that’s been making the Twitter rounds that takes the point and shoot still camera to a new level. It’s Vivitar’s 35mm film camera. You read that right. It’s a camera that actually shoots 35mm film that you place in the camera itself and then take to be developed and printed. Video after the jump. more »Wes’ Home Depot How-ToAs in how they made a Home Depot spot with a bit of post behind the scenes I love a good behind the scenes / how-to / how we did it piece that breaks down a complex shot or goes into some detail on how a visual effects sequence was created. There’s always more to learn for anyone in production or post. When you’ve decided that you’ve learned all you need to know in this business then that’s when others will eclipse you in both creative abilities and technical prowess. There’s a nice 8 minute how-to that was recently posted on Vimeo that takes you through the creation of rather cool television spot for Home Depot. more »

LIGHTING: Advanced Cucoloris Use Illustrated by a Solar Eclipse
Q: What happens when you stack several pattern-making devices in front of a light? A: Extreme lighting goodness. Learn why here…
I love stacking cucolorii (plural of “cucoloris”) and I thought it was time to write an article about how this technique works and why I like it so much. I was a bit stretched for ideas that would illustrate this concept… and then an eclipse happened. Why that made a difference is a very interesting story…
