Film Biz Chat: One on One with Camera Operator, Scott Browner

Scott Browner Graduated from The American Film Insititute, in Cinematography. After struggling in several survival jobs while trying to break into camera, Scott started out as an assistant working on many music videos during the early years of the MTV craze. Working to get a few low budget movies and gradually got bigger and better projects. Got into local 600. Scott on those (long gone) mid budget features for six or seven years when finally persuaded one of his favorite DPs to take a chance on moving him up. He had been mostly operating himself and sometimes he struggled a little doing both jobs. When Scott finally committed to moving up permanently, not an easy move for almost everyone, there were obviously some lean times. After about two up and down (mostly down) years things really started to pick up and been operating and sometimes shooting since. Scott has been primarily working on episodic TV, most notably, six years on "Without A Trace", followed by a few one season wonders, then some time on "NCIS-LA" and recently 9 seasons on "The Goldbergs" (Sony/ABC). Some of Scotts other credits as A-Camera Operator include, Dexter, Melrose Place, Madmen, and features, Austin Powers in Goldmember and Jurassic Park III.
