PROFILE: Christopher Probst, Sheldon Prosnit Agency

Second in a series of Profiles on nominees for the upcoming MVPA Awards — being held May 16 in Los Angeles. DP Christopher Probst of the Sheldon Prosnit Agency is up for Best Cinematography thanks to his work on director Joseph Kahn's epic Muse video "Knights Of Cydonia."

Since this profile gets a tiny bit technical, a little background info may prove useful to those who aren't in the production industry. Keep in mind that this is a very basic breakdown of some very complex and involved processes: At best, I oversimplify. At worst, I mislead. Please accept my apologies.
