CINEMATOGRAPHY BY ANDREW YOUNG
Archipelago principal Andrew Young is an award-winning cinematographer with honors that include an Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography, three Excellence in Cinematography Awards at the Sundance Film Festival, two Best Cinematography Awards from the Giant Screen Cinema Association, Best Cinematography at the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival, and three Emmy Nominations for Best Cinematography.
Cinematography
Apart from his work on Archipelago productions, Young regularly works as a cinematographer for other producers. Clients include: Nature, National Geographic, Nova, The American Experience, the Discovery Channel and the BBC.
While visual style is often dictated by subject matter, Young most often pursues an experiential style of cinematography. Whether filming people or animals, his goal is always to put the audience inside the story. This often involves the creative use of lighting, as well as specialized equipment and techniques such as Stabilizers, jib arms, probe lenses, aerial mounts, underwater housings, motion control, time-lapse, and high-speed photography. However, on human subjects, Young often finds there is no substitute for spontaneous and intuitive handheld shooting to put the audience in the moment.
Young is well versed in all major acquisition formats, including film and high-end cinema cameras such as the Phantom Flex and Red Monstro. Equipment packages are available to suit the needs of any production.
