Scott McMahon has created film, video, and cinematic content for a wide range of clients, including video game producers, CPG companies, and educational organizations. He spent 12 years at Sony PlayStation as the Cinematic Supervisor overseeing a department of amazing artists and technicians, where we produced high-end cinematic movies for many of the first-party PlayStation titles. Scott worked closely with clients who required production services that involved animated 3D/CG content, 2D motion graphics, conceptual art and design, live action film and digital production, and editing and compositing services. His career has expanded into web design, content marketing, and online marketing strategies, and he currently oversees a business and marketing resource for independent filmmakers.
