While filming today, I realized that, although not on the camera, the cinematographer plays a big role in the finished product of the movie. Inception won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography in 2010. Inception is famous for its complex angles and filming that literally takes you into another dimension. All the camera tricks and any filming for that matter, could not have been possible if it was for Walter Pfister, the cinematographer. Walter, better known as Wally, grew up in Chicago and was raised learning the film business as his father was a producer. Wally got a job with a television station right out of college, and ever since has flourished in the filming business. Along with Inception, Wally filmed the movies The Italian Job and more recently Moneyball. Wally also has a film on its way called Transcendence which is released into theater early this new year!!
