Howard Phillips

BIO Howard has been involved in film and video work for over 20 years. His first venture was a business specializing in corporate and music video productions, earning a slot on MTV’s Basement Tapes with his production of Fools for Fashion by The Talk. In 1988, after working as a freelance cameraperson in the US and in Europe, he moved to Boston and founded The Edit House, Avid’s first dedicated 24fps beta site which provided film editorial and postproduction services to over 80 feature films. Over an eight-year period, Howard made significant contributions to Avid’s Film Composer quality assurance team and was invited to share in Avid’s second Technical Oscar® (SciTech Award) in 1998. Howard currently teaches and provides testing/ consulting services to companies such as Aaton, Arriflex, Avid and Panasonic. He studied film and television at Montana State University and is fluent in French. Recent projects include assistant editing, camera and translation for the Jon Fauer ASC’s Cinematographer Style, and postproduction manager on independent and CDIA film and digital video projects.
