International award winning offline editor Johanna Scott has joined digitalpictures in Melbourne.

Australian born Johanna has been based in London for ten years, and spent the last five cutting full time at Steve Gandolfi’s Cut and Run, one of the premier offline editing companies in the world with offices in London, New York and LA.

At the Broadcast B+ 2004 awards Johanna was nominated as Best British Young editor.

Whilst at Cut and Run Johanna cut tvc’s, music videos and short films, notably her work was again recognised at this year’s BAFTA awards with the nomination of ‘Heavy Metal Drummer’ for Best Short film.

Her talent and versatility is demonstrated with clients ranging from international production company heavyweights, Hungryman Films and Morton Jankel Zander (MJZ) to corporate giants, Exxon, British Gas, LG through to international music acts such as Faithless and Dirty Pretty Things.

Johanna joins other new talents at DP such as online editor Eugene Richards and online designer Nathan Bayliss.

“Jo Scott is a first class editor who is dearly missed at Cut and Run. In the last 10 years our editors have been voted the top UK editors seven times and are also consistently voted in the top 5 in the world. Jo was nominated Best British Young Editor during her time at Cut and Run and also recieved a nomination for a short film at the BAFTA’s – which is a tremendous effort and shows her depth of editing talent. She is a real superstar and I wish her well cutting at digitalpictures,” says Steve Gandolfi.
