One of the first lessons I learned as a television producer was
to find creative professionals who could take those ethereal ideas caught
in my grey matter and turn them into a polished video presentation. It is as equally exciting to find an editor who cannot only provide the technical support of a project, but whose innovative ideas actually enhance your own.
I had just such an experience with Brian Scott on a short-form documentary. We faced many challenges with this project: budget restrictions, quality video file footage, and a strict deadline to meet for syndication fulfillment.
Not only did we manage to successfully work around all these issues, but what we created was a very well-received program. The documentary we produced, Messiah in the Feast of Dedication, was nationally syndicated and won two Angel Awards in the documentary and home video categories.
Brian also made the project and enjoyable experience. The long hours and tedious work that had to be done to get the “look” we were after never dampened his enthusiasm. I would welcome the opportunity to work with him on future projects.
