Scott Simper: Director of PhotographyNatural history and adventure film maker, Scott Simper began his adventurous life as a rodeo rider. Life in the saddle led to the University of Utah, where Scott majored in Film. Afterwards, Scott spent nearly ten years in stage management, lighting design and sound engineering. Scott then evolved to camera operating and has spent the last decade honing his craft—much of it in far flung and exotic locations with equally exotic diseases, many of which Scott has sampled and survived!In addition to his all-round production expertise, Scott’s skills as a mountaineer, rock climber, skier, kayaker and adventure racer have made him a highly sought after team member in locations ranging from the jungles of the Congo to the Arctic. Scott's work is distinguished not only for its beauty and his technical expertise but also for his willingness to take on the challenges of any situation or location with a smile. From rigging shots in difficult, tight locations to building and fixing equipment in inhospitable places, Scott is known as the cameraman to have on these difficult gigs. His creative aerial work using a gyro-stabilization system, breath-taking time lapses and exceptional hand-held shooting have earned him Emmy nominations for camera work. In addition to his skills as a camera operator, Scott has a knack for connecting with his subjects, putting them at ease and getting the most from them as he visually captures their lives. A true team player, Scott’s natural enthusiasm and unflagging energy are valuable on any production—and invaluable on the tough ones! Download Scott's resume (pdf) |
