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.

... you also wonder how editors don’t end up shackled in padded cells more often
I recently got an email from filmmaker and journalist Gavin Rees pointing to a video on the BBC website called Secrets of a top TV editor. It’s about BBC World News America’s Bill McKenna who was named ‘Editor of the Year” by the White House News Photographers Association. He was congratulated by President Obama and, according to the BBC website, was asked to edit a video to be shown at a an awards dinner about “what inspires a top TV picture editor.” It’s kind of a rare thing to see an editor have to edit his own piece about his own work. It’s nearly 3 minutes long is definitely worth a viewing, especially if you have ever done any news editing.
My favorite line is: “When it comes down to it, you also wonder how editors don’t end up shackled in padded cells more often.” Amen to that. Thanks to Gavin for sending the link over.
