Meet Wahoo Films’ Newest Editor

Warren Shultz has recently joined the Wahoo Team as our editor. He’s been with us for a couple months now and has settled into the groove of the office and has been busy editing all our current projects. He is fast, precise, and has a great creative eye.

Warren not only is new to Wahoo Films, but also to Bend. After excepting the position he relocated here from Portland in the middle of the winter. And what a wonderful winter season for a former Portland resident to move to Bend. He is still amazed about how much sun he’s seeing here and excited to not have to deal with as much rainy weather. But he has had his bouts getting used to Bend’s random winter storms… After only a couple weeks here in his very Portland appropriate car, we got hit with one of our bigger snow storms. Still commuting to town from Redmond, he experienced winter driving and sliding to work. Warren soon realized his “all weather tires” were not cutting it during our winters and moved to a “traction tire” more suitable for Bend. Now residing in Bend, he loves that he can head out on nature hikes only a couple minutes away from the office or his house.

Warren, like many of us, did not realize his passion until later in life, after his initial schooling. He first started his career as a physical therapist. But by the end of PT school, he was already helping friends develop their photos in a make shift black room he created. Slowly, as technology improved his interested migrated into film and media. His film and editing knowledge was originally all self-taught, followed by on the job training and personally chosen classes.

Warren says that being in this type of industry is amazing because he gets to be a mini-expert on many different things learning new tricks and trades and working with many different clients.

He owns a “Red Epic Camera.” This is pretty exciting because this type of camera is meant to film things that should be shown on a big theater screen. Right now this type of camera is being used to film current movies such as, The Amazing Spiderman, The Hobbit, and previous movies like Pirates of the Caribbean. Being that Warren works for Wahoo Films now, we have that availability to have Warren film our clients with his camera. This high resolution camera makes our clients’ videos outstanding.

Throughout Warren’s filming and editing career he has had the opportunity to travel and work with some exciting people. His favorite personal filming/editing moment is when Pat Boone was flying into town to do a PSA for a child with leukemia. Warren got the call and had to be on location to film in 40 minutes. He jumped in the car with no script or anything, just a brief idea of what it should look like and what to film. On his way to the hospital to film, he wrote the script and shot list on a napkin at red lights while driving. When he and Pat Boone arrived, Pat read the “napkin script,” and was impressed. It was typed into the telepromter as is and Mr.Boone used it for the PSA. Amazing!

As you can see, we are excited to have added Warren to our team at Wahoo Films.
