- Born
- Scott has over 26 years experience in the advertising/ commercial/ film production and streaming media business. The first 10 years were spent on the advertising agency side as a Writer/Producer with such companies as Foote, Cone & Belding - San Francisco and Needham, Harper & Steers - Chicago working on accounts that include: McDonalds, Levi Strauss, The Clorox Company, S.C. Johnson, Epson Computers, C&H Sugar, Colony Wines and many more. For the last 13 years Scott has been a multi-award-winning Writer/Director/Cameraman in San Francisco. His list of clients includes: Adobe Systems, Advanced Micro Devices, Apple Computers, Barnes-Hind, Charles Schwab & Co., The Clorox Company, General Electric, General Mills, Hasbro Toys, Intel, Kraft Inc., Lanier Products, Levi Strauss, McDonalds, Microsoft Corp., Silicon Graphics, Sun Microsystems, Syntex Corp. and many more. He has also directed and photographed two CD-ROM games: "The Daedaleus Encounter" for Mechadeus, a pioneering effort at an "Interactive Movie" and "Star Wars - Jedi Knight" for LucasArts. He is still the only outside Director to ever helm a project for LucasArts. Scott's background in film and theater allows him to handle both sides of the Director/Cameraman responsibility with equal aplomb. He is excellent with actors, both professional and non-professional. He believes firmly in the collaborative nature of the film business and his shoots are notoriously pleasant and stimulating for that very reason. He gets the most out of his cast, crew and clients because he wants everyone to make their contributions to the final product. We believe it shows on his reel. Also, because most of the audience for Scott's films are the men and women of Silicon Valley, the dreamers and builders of the new age, he brings a sense of responsibility to his work. Many of his films are clarion calls to these people to understand the enormity of their impact on the world and to "do the right thing." In 1998, Scott took his knowledge and expertise into the realm of streaming media where he helped found the Internet start-up, ON24 as the Vice President of Production. On24 is one of the original handful of companies that pioneered streaming media and new forms of multimedia communication on the web. With the help of many creative people the department grew from 2 to over 35 people by the end of his tenure. ON24 was recently named one of the "Top 100 Private Companies in America" by Upside Magazine. In 1999, Scott was honored with his selection as one of the Cameramen for an extraordinary documentary about the Synthesis Dialogues Conference in Dharmasala, India. In September of that year, His Holiness, the Dalai Lama convened a conference of 41 high-level Western minds at his residence to discuss the synthesis of Eastern and Western thought. Scott served as Cameraman, Steadi-Cam Operator and Lighting Director for the project. His list of awards include: a Clio, a Monitor, a Gold and 2 Silver International Film & TV Festival of New York awards, 4 Cindys, 5 Joeys, countless Addys, an Andy, a Telly and several others.- IMDb Mini Biography By: EwersFilm@home.com
