Dear Production Professional,

As a producer and a creative professional, I've had the pleasure of working with Scott

McCullough on various projects, but in particular, a recent PSA entitled, "The Other Note"

which we collaborated on for The National Veterans Foundation.

Scott's directorial and digital cinematography skills were put to the test, especially dealing

with multiple talent, cameras and a large crew, including a practical EFX team. Right from

the initial development stages, I was particularly impressed with his dedication to the

project off and on set, by his calm demeanor and ability to bring people on board quickly

and efficiently, as well as his sensitivity in guiding the talent to achieve their best, most

authentic performances. In this regard, I highly recommend Scott and believe he would be

an asset on any project as a capable director, an innovative creative, a solid visual

storyteller and a talented director of photography.

To Whom It May Concern,

I just worked with Scott McCullough on both a TV and print shoot. All I can say is he is one heck of a multi-talented guy.

As both director and DP on the TV shoot he was able to accomplish an amazing amount of shots on an incredibly tight schedule; a schedule driven by our celebrity race car driver’s availability and contract requirements. Scott moved seamlessly from the TV shoot to the print in the same day without missing a beat.

He kept our celebrity talent engaged while continually pulling a great performance from her throughout the day. His ability to focus on dialogue as well as fast action car shots is an unusual talent. From the very beginning his passion for the job showed in his director’s treatment and creative input. And in the end it showed itself in the beauty of the imagery and our talent’s performance. I hope to work with Scott again soon.

To Whom It May Concern:

I want to recommend at the very highest level, Scott McCullough, as a colleague who I've had one of the best, most professional, most creative collaborations I've ever had in my filmmaking career, I was always aware of how highly devoted and prepared Scott made himself in every aspect of the production and the post production periods. His command both of the big picture and the smallest detail gave him the ability to bring out the very best at any given moment. This along with his considerable communication skills made him a very effective captain of the ship. Scott, I might especially comment on, always takes the high road. He is brilliant. He's effective. He's passionate. He’s personable. He get's things done righ t .

I cannot recommend him more highly.

Phone: 248.225.2104 E-Mail: mconner@gmail.com RE - Scott McCullough, Director/DP To Whom It May Concern, I first met Scott some years ago, when working at Doner on a spot for Secure Horizons/PacifiCare featuring Paul Newman. We needed a solid Car Director with Race Car experience that could also capture humanity, and Scott fit the bill. We had many hurdles to overcome during the prep process, including the shoot being postponed due to Wild Fires. Ash was falling on us during Tech Scout and Scott kept on going like a true professional. We eventually re-scheduled the Shoot and came out of it with an amazing spot. Which we coined “Chasing Newman”. If any of you have worked with Celebrities you know how scheduling can be. After that, I worked with Scott on varying projects from Spots to Running Footage and he remains one of my favorites to work with. He jumps into each project with excitement and enthusiasm that he carries through to the end. He collaborates with the Agency Creatives to bring life to the concept, works very well with Talent, always finds the perfect angle and comes up with solutions to problems. What Production doesn’t have a few problems? Scott doesn’t get rattled, he maintains his enthusiasm while thinking of the best approach to any issue that may arise. When it comes to car shooting, he has that covered. We shot 28 vehicles, between LA and Argentina and came out with some of the best Running Footage the Client had ever seen. But beyond Cars, Scott has a way with Talent from Casting to Shooting, he knows how to make them comfortable to get the best performance. That includes a reluctant Paul Newman and even a hand puppet as a placeholder for an animated character. I believe Scott McCullough to be an excellent Director and candidate for your next project. I have no doubt he will bring your concept to life in the best way possible. Please do not hesitate to call with any questions.

Sincerely,

Michele Conner Senior Broadcast/Digital Content Producer

To Whom It May Concern: My mane is Deven LeTendre and I have been a commercial and feature producer based out of Los Angeles for over 25 years. I worked with Scott McCullough on a number of projects with Celebrity talent, one example that comes to mind was a commercial for EA Sports. The spot was designed to feature the top NASCAR drivers during an actual race weekend. Tony Stewart, Dale Ernhardt, Jr., Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth, Jimmy Johnson, Robby Gordon, Boby LaBonte, Kevin Harvick all had to be shot in one day, showcasing both personal interviews and driving on a live track…Scott delivered. This project presented numerous challenges in terms of scheduling as well as dealing with the delicate task of managing many different personalities and egos. The location circumstances did not help as the heat, humidity, large southern boisterous crowds, and tremendous security challenges were ever present; furthermore, each driver had only a small window of time to give us between practice and qualifying. During this unprecedented access, Scott was able to create compelling scenes in very difficult circumstances in extremely limited time. He was able to control sound, shooting location and delivery in an overwhelming environment of a NASCAR Sprint Cup event. He worked work directly with the drivers to achieve a kinetic and powerful brand spot for the agency and client. In fact, NASCAR themselves wanted the commercial to use as it’s own branding due to it’s successful turnout. On a more personal note, Scott directs celebrity sports personalities with ease and does a tremendous job of connecting with them directly and not pandering. He comes to a project with a thorough understands of the celebrity (and does an amazing amount of research) and creates performances that are above and beyond what others have done with the same talent. I am certain any star/celebrity - athlete, musician, actor, etc. - will be well served by him. Scott makes them look great by capturing their best moments of sincerity and heroism, which further creates a sense of confidence on camera which is fluid and natural. Scott’s attention to detail, and dedication to delivering the best possible product, is a cut above the industry standard and he is a pleasure to work with. He truly loves his craft and his ease in capturing moments is not lost upon those that work with him. If I were not working on animated features at the moment, I would happily be in the trenches with Scott. Please don’t hesitate to contact me should you wish to discuss any of Scott’s numerous qualifications. Sincerely,

Deven LeTendre

RE: Scott McCullough, Director/DP

To Whom It May Concern,

It had always been my distinct pleasure to work with Scott McCullough.

Scott is a very gifted commercial Director/DP. Not only is he skilled at his craft, he’s also a great guy!

Scott’s work as a Director of Photography never fails to render the unique images needed to deliver the “pop” to each engaging story - which is skillfully crafted by Scott - the Director.

We have collaborated on a wide variety of subject matter over the years. Several of our projects have relied on Scott to pull believable on-camera performances out of non-professional actors (in the form of NASCAR drivers) like Dale Ernhardt, Jr. Michael Waltrip and Tony Stewart. He has proven to possess a seamless ability to connect with these personalities and focus those connections towards the task at hand.

I look forward to working with Scott again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a first-class Director/DP.

Sincerely,

Stuart OwensExecutive ProducerParadox Films704-333-5266
