DP Vitaly Bokser interviews Carlos Almonte about his long career editing and now directing commercials, music videos and shorts.
Carlos started out as a teenager making films with his friends running around Brooklyn with Toy AK’s painted black, stuffed with batteries for weight, shooting Action Sci-Fi Films that he then sold on Fangoria type magazines – all by the time he was 14. This was the 90’s so there was no internet the way we know it today. Editing was also a black art and considered as much back in that day. When Final Cut came out and he was able to move clips in a timeline – his future was set. The magic had become something he could do at home now.
In this podcast we cover his professional career working at big networks and on a large projects. Carlos has worked with people like Tom Hanks and Error Morris and clients such as ABC, Ogilvy, and Showtime. This will be a 2 part Episode. Part 1 covering his past. Part 2 covering his present, editing work and directing work.
Below are just a few links to his work. More will be in Part 2.
