Scott Barnes has been programming lighting consoles for over 22 years, on more than 50 motion pictures. He moved to Hollywood from his hometown of Dallas in 1996, and quickly became a member of IATSE Local 728, which specializes in lighting and electrical crew for the motion picture business in the Los Angeles area.

He has been fortunate to have worked on 11 of their movies, starting with the very first one, Iron Man. He recently returned from New Zealand, where he has been working on the upcoming Avatar sequels.
