Knoxville Camera Operator for Interviews & Docs

As a Knoxville camera operator, I bridge technical precision with creative awareness. Whether working solo or inside a larger crew, my goal is consistency—every frame usable, every take intentional.

Documentary roots
Years of run-and-gun documentary work taught me to adapt quickly to lighting, movement, and dialogue. That experience translates perfectly to branded interviews and corporate storytelling.

Broadcast workflow
I match frame rates, picture profiles, and codecs to editor specifications, minimizing post friction. Monitoring tools, waveform, and scopes stay active throughout each take.

Collaboration
Directors and producers appreciate operators who anticipate movement rather than react to it. That’s how I approach every Knoxville project—quiet confidence, technical control, and attention to detail.https://philipayoung.com/video-production-gear-knoxville/#
