Sharp Focus Creative Academy — Local services in Los Angeles

After being in this industry for over a dozen years so far, working at many of the top tier trailer houses in town, I can tell you from experience that the one thing that makes all the difference is the people you work with and the ability you have to trust them to get the job done. SCOTT GETS THE JOB DONE. Having worked many a shift into the wee hours of the morning side by side with him, Scott has dealt with everything from trailers for major studio blockbusters, to TV shows on every major streamer, and even smaller productions with companies you might not have heard of yet. All of these have their own unique problems that arise during the editorial and, if you're lucky enough, finishing process. From the bigger guys who have rules upon rules, spreadsheets, guidelines, things that must be followed down to the letter or be rejected, to the smaller companies that don't even know what quicktime is, let alone be able to tell you what specs they need to get their assets ready for air, I've personally seen Scott tackle all of these situations and many more with knowledge and experience, a tempered head and more often than not a smile on his face. I have seen him train assistant editors in cut-throat environments where nothing but the best will be tolerated. He has trained entire trailer companies‘ editorial staffs to be able to actually understand and maximize the software they are using. Whether you are brand new starting out in the industry with zero experience or just wanting to update your knowledge on almost any part of the process, Scott and sharp focus should be your first and last stop.

I’ve known Dave and Scott, owners of Sharp Focus, for many years now. They are great teachers and provide students fantastic skill sets needed in the competitive world of the motion picture/videography/media business. The hands-on approach of their curriculum is such a valuable technique for all of the things they teach you about creating content... you learn by doing, not sitting around talking about it. They have amazing facilities for the student to learn all the aspects of creating media and I’d recommend Sharp Focus to anyone who wants to get into the crazy world of making movies/content.

Get out their and let them guide you into being creative!...

The SFCA team is the best in the biz! I've been using Sharp Focus for the past three years for all my videography, editing, infrastructure, and educational needs. They are truly a one-stop-shop for all things video. In the rare instances they don't know the answer to something they hunt down the answer for you.

It is especially refreshing in the creative world to be given 5 star service and have your goals put ahead of all else. I've never walked away from working with SFCA being anything less than...
