Director/Editor/Post Production Expert
Resume:
Skip Masters
Director/UPM/Editor
Executive Summary:
As a commercial editor I have worked on high profile Ad Campaigns for a-list agencies and clients, and worked at the top of the trade in a few of Chicago’s premier post houses. I have managed a large staff of editors and assistant editors, and driven the technical growth of the Post operation in both boutique and large scale companies. I have most recently been a partner in the production company HDReady, LLC. We co-produced (with WTTW) the PBS series SoundStage, the first High Definition concert series on American television. In addition to acting as 1st AD and associate producer on the show, I was the primary editor and in charge of the post production operation. We produced concert and other multi-camera video for various other outlets as well. I have been responsible for the creative and technical post on literally hundreds of hours of high end UHD and HD content. I have edited and post produced a full length S3D theatrical concert film (I was also the UPM). As a Producer/AD/UPM/Director I have worked on many high profile multi-camera productions, primarily in music but also for comedy, sports, and drama. I have extensive experience in multi-cam, with production experience ranging from in-cam recording to state of the art production and uplink trucks. I am highly experienced multi-platform editor, finishing specialist and post manager.
