Scott & Clients
I am the grandson of steel mills and coal mines south of Pittsburg and raised in the Southern California sun. The result is a dual citizenship of eastern work ethic and blind romantic optimism.
Education. Experiences. Relationships. These three ingredients are it for me. I’m a dad and second rodeo husband. Our gift and suffering is Relationships. The messy, scratched up, dream filled mile markers which drive us crazy and feed our soul. You will find Relationship all through my work.
Believable. I like my work to live in this space. Motion or stills, single capture or composites. I’m not the camera I hold or the awards on the shelf. When the work rings a recognizable bell of memory, then we are there.
I can talk to anyone: the byproduct of a fantastic, funky first job in high school selling peanuts at California Angel baseball games for 7 seasons. In front of thousands each night: we hustled for commission, dealt with drunk fans, flirted with popcorn girls and saw the occasional double play. This simple skill has served me well.
Starting in 2010, a personal project shot over seven years changed my career. ISHues is our 93 minute documentary centered on Ish Herring, a talented singer who grew up on the wrong side of Everything. Darryl McDaniels (DMC of Run-DMC) and 5 time Grammy - Blind Boys of Alabama are featured. I co-produced, co-directed. We are beyond excited to submit this fall to select festivals for next year. See the Trailer under ISHues Film. More info at ishues.org
This is one of the craziest, best jobs on the planet: to be a visual circus ringmaster. It involves constant change and the occasional tight rope walk. Once on set, I work quickly with talent... no I mean it, really quickly. Gone are the tigers, but I will put a dog in the shot if given the chance. I am perfectly comfortable talking with clients at anytime. I'm respectful it’s their budget and we are entrusted to use it with thought and care.
