Film editing
Film editing
In 1981, Scantlebury became a member (performer and crew) of The Video Band, for which he edited a series of experimental music videos released in the early 1980s. Scantlebury became one of the first editors to edit feature films on video, beginning in 1987 with the Tom Waits concert film Big Time (1988). He subsequently worked at Zoetrope Studios for five years. He was cited by Variety in 2009 as a "key cutter" among director Michael Bay's "trusted team of editors." In addition to editing feature films, Scantlebury has edited numerous music videos and documentaries. In 2012, Scantlebury was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
