Robert Brinkmann
Robert Brinkmann (born November 20, 1961) is a German-born cinematographer and occasional director. He studied film production at the University of Southern California, where he eventually specialized in cinematography.

He went on to shoot such films as Encino Man, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Truth About Cats and Dogs, The Cable Guy, The Rules of Attraction, and Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny.
