Nicholas Philbrook

Editor

I am committed to the arts of advertising, television, and film; although, I also understand and am excited by the synergy between creativity and innovation in business. In the trying times of a difficult economy, I believe that in order for the creative arts to flourish, efficient, sensible, and innovative commerce must be an integral part of day-to-day operations.

In addition to this, I am highly motivated and bring a skill set built upon my true passion for the entertainment and film industry. Among that skill set is: certification in Color Correction and Advanced Techniques in Media Composer; extensive experience with the Manipulator 3000 Motion Control Camera; and, credits as Editor, Additional Editor, Assistant Editor, and Online Assistant Editor on a variety of projects. I also have an extensive list of technical and computer skills that continues to grow, which (combined with my managerial experience and business sensibility) lends me a highly versatile and qualified individual.
