Hey there, I’m Rob W. Scribner, and I’ve always been drawn to the magic of filmmaking. When I first started out, my focus was on editing and motion graphics. I quickly realized the power of editing in shaping a story, which fueled my passion for storytelling even more.

As the years went by, I found myself delving deeper into shooting, gradually transitioning into the role of a DP. What sets me apart is my ability to envision how each shot will contribute to the overall narrative, even before the post-production phase kicks in. It’s all about anticipating how everything will seamlessly come together, and that’s where my background in editing truly shines.

When it comes to lining up a shot or lighting it, I trust my instincts. I love experimenting with cinematography, playing with different color temperatures and contrast ratios to evoke just the right mood for each scene. My lighting choices are driven by the specific emotional nuances within the story, ensuring that every frame resonates with authenticity and depth.

My journey into filmmaking wasn’t a conventional one. Before pursuing my passion full-time, I served in the USAF as an F-16 Avionics Technician and later worked as a Mechanic at Lockheed Martin on the F-35 program. But once I got my hands on a camera, I knew there was no turning back. I followed my heart, enrolled in film school, and never looked back.

Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to receive recognition for my work, both in academia and in the industry. From academic honors to industry accolades, each milestone has fueled my desire to push the boundaries of storytelling even further.

Looking ahead, my goal is simple: to continue producing outstanding work that captivates audiences and inspires fellow filmmakers. Whether it’s crafting compelling documentaries or commercials, I’m driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence. And as much as I love being behind the camera, I’m equally passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with others. Teaching holds a special place in my heart, and if I can help aspiring filmmakers avoid some of the pitfalls I encountered along the way, then I’ll consider it a job well done.

So join me on this journey, where every frame tells a story and every project is an opportunity to make magic happen. Together, let’s go Beyond The Sky Films and create something truly unforgettable.
