With degrees in both engineering and broadcast technology, Mark Ott has immersed himself in emerging technologies since his early teenage years. Beginning his professional career in television production as both an editor and camera operator on The Jerry Springer Show in his native Ohio, Mark’ s richly diverse production skills continued to evolve as he moved into television news. While working as a producer/director for the ABC
affiliate in Dayton, Ohio, Mark developed an interest in editing. Here he added online and offline editing to his list of production skills. Mark landed in Las Vegas in 1999 following a three-year stint as an online editor at Barrett Productions in Missoula, Montana. While at Barrett, Mark edited programs for air on ESPN, ESPN2, TNN and PBS. Mark’ s return to Las Vegas, where he lived and worked for a short time in 1997, was prompted by a job offer from Encore Productions.
Serving as both an online and offline editor at Encore, Mark’ s client list expanded globally to include television editing for Premiere Network in Germany and Sky Sports in the UK among others.
After his time at Encore, Mark moved on to Century Productions where his client base as an online and offline editor continued to grow. As an editor at Century, Mark worked with clients from all over the world editing everything from commercial and corporate to narrative projects with a wide range of budget levels. His clients included Taco Bell, Pepsi, Ford, Microsoft, ABC, MTV, VH-1, Showtime. As Mark developed relationships with these clients, many of them urged him to go out of his own as an editor and encouraged him by offering their business if he did.
