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.

This is a MUST read for those interested in color grading and a SHOULD read for everyone else.

If you’re wanting to learn more about post-production then you’ve got quite a few areas where you can target studies. There’s creative editing and storytelling (of course), there’s audio mixing and sound design, there’s the technical world of editing where you’re dealing with workflow and media organization, there’s graphics, effects and color grading as well. A good place to learn any of these specific tasks is the right book. For color grading there’s Alexis Van’s recently released book Color Correction Handbook: Professional Techniques for Video and Cinema. Read on for a review of this great book.
