Hi to all :), I hope that everyone in the USA had a great 4th of July yesterday and for the rest of the world I hope that your day was a very positive one :). So for the past couple of months me and Ryan Walters (who was in the new Revenge Of The Great Camera Shootout 2012) have been talking about a few different things and one was the issues of Film School or No Film School. So this created one hell of a twitter talk between us and so I said to ryan let's set up a google hang out so we can chat and that's what we did. So with in 45 min of having a great conversation we now bring you this 

That's right we bring you Film Class 2012: Introduction to the Camera World By Corey Steib and Ryan Walters on July 23rd 2012 at 7:30pm EST/4:30PM PST on Google Plus-HangOut

The reason for us using Google +-Hangout is so that we all can interact with each other face to face and answer any questions that you have and it also allows us to have up to 10 people at once. And if it get's full then you are still able to watch us and we will have our google and twitter accounts open so you can still shoot off any questions that you may have.

Ryan E. Walters grew up in Seattle, Wa. where his passion for the visual arts was sparked at a young age through his parents encouragement and enrollment in drawing classes. This interest was furthered as he watched his grandmothers passion for photography. In high school he became dissatisfied with the static image, and his curiosity with the moving image was excited by the introduction of reel to reel tape based editing at his high school. Upon graduating from high school, Ryan moved to the Portland area and pursued studies in theology and youth ministry.

The passion and drive to create compelling moving images never left Ryan, and he has been working in the film industry since 1998. Ryan began as an Office PA and is now working full time as a freelance cinematographer based out of Portland, Or. His work has taken him around the world and country doing work for Adidas, Nike, MetLife, The Travel Channel, Lifetime, and he has shot 5 feature films to date. Ryan is a featured cinematographer on Sekonic’s “ProSpeak” web page, and he was the Master Cinematographer for the Red Epic on Zacuto’s 2012 shootout. These experiences have enabled him to become intimately familiar with a wide range of digital cinema cameras from DSLR's up to the Red Epic and the Arri Alexa. However, in the end, what Ryan cares about most is telling a compelling visual story that engages the audience regardless of the capture device.
