MySpace Layouts .. Before I go any further I must adamantly state that Robert Elswit is a genius, and you can't prove me wrong. If you don't know who he is, ignore that comment and keep reading. My name is Joe Walker, I'm a freelance director of photography. Primarily I shoot music videos, occasionally some short films as well. I've been to the Cannes Film Festival twice, the American Society of Cinematographers once, and worked on one Oscar nominated short film. While I reside in Birmingham and get most of my work here, that hasn't stopped me from traveling around the U.S. and elsewhere to shoot stuff. While I've won a couple of awards here and there for my work, I try to keep a level head and not be a complete snob towards others. I love cameras...all of them, motion picture, HD, still, and even finger paints! I love to drive my wife Andrea insane, hang with my friends and cook for them, shoot stuff, edit stuff, and travel to far off places. The Safari Cup in downtown B'ham is the stuff! Try their Chai Lattes, you'll see.....

It's a random thought but I have really learned a ton of stuff here at LTP about every aspect of this stuff. I really wish I could somehow put all of this to use is some big "Children of Men" style f...

If you happen to know someone with $120,000.....

Send em my way, because after re-watching 2001: A Space Odyssey, I would like to jump on the bandwagon of filmmakers who are re-igniting the 15 perf 65mm format!!! The bokeh and depth of field of tho...

Pulling Focus on a 4K (super 35mm) chip ain’t easy!

So today we're shooting some footage of a Pontiac G5 coming around this bend. Lens is set to 100mm @ T3. I had to focus from infinity down to 7 feet in one shot, basically a car coming towards camer...

So the RED is getting much better from Build 16.... I think

It's getting better, still lots to work out, but the pictures it takes are stunning, especially when playing back at 1080p on this 30" monitor!!!!

M. Night Shyamalan must be killed....NOW!

The Happening is the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life. I've had my eyes burned out of my head watching gay samurais attack each other at the Cannes Film Festival in 2000, but nothing co...
