DANIELLE ELLIOTT
I was lucky to grow up with two artistic and creative parents in Seattle, Washington, a town where eclectic and foreign films were abundant and revered. I was always interested in film, from the time I was four years old. I knew a great shot when I saw one – Dustin Hoffman through Anne Bancroft’s legs in The Graduate. A favorite vision that has kept me company for my entire life and career. As a young teen I was an avid film buff, Herzog, Wenders, Truffaut, Woody Allen, and John Waters were inspiring and influential in the way I saw the world through film. I try to keep them in mind still when editing and creating.
My first job in film was a scenic artist for Roger Corman Studios. I lasted for a couple of years of craziness then ended up in post production at Christopher Gray Post Production where I’ve been since 1999. I do editing, audio mixing, graphics, titles and technical post production consultation at CG Post and on my own. I specialize in documentary shorts and features.
Some of the titles I have edited:
An Unexpected Win – Title IX and The Pinckney Pirates (Saving Grace Productions, 47 min.)
Indian Country – The Rise of a New Generation (90 min.) The Elders Speak (4 min.)
(Stephen Fisher Productions)
Nice Chinese Girls Don’t – Kitty Tsui (Profile Productions 20 min.)
Audio Mixes:
Alex In Wonderland (Debbie Allen, 90 min.), Trumpetistically Clora Bryant (Zeinabu Davis, 52 min.), The Aluminum Group (VITRA/Eames Office, 8 min.), Return to Tarawa: The Leon Cooper Story (Discovery History, 90 min.)
My other passions in life include playing the drums in my bands Ladyhump and Kitten Fishing, stop motion music videos with dolls and toys, and most importantly my doggies.
