Joseph Hahn (March 15th, 1977) is better known by his stage name of Mr. Hahn, best known as DJ and sampler for the rock band Linkin Park. He has also directed every single Linkin Park music video to date. In a 2003 interview with MTV, he called film-making his true passion, music was just something that came with the job. Aside from working with Linkin Park, he has also directed music videos for Story Of The Year, Xzibit and Alkaline Trio. He has also directed the trailer for the video game Medal Of Honor (2010), which featured the first single of Linkin Park's newest album, The Catalyst (the album is called A Thousand Suns).

Common themes
Many of Hahn's videos are performance based concept videos. Notable concept videos are In The End, Papercut and Breaking The Habit (which I touched upon earlier in the blog). All of Linkin Park's videos have been directed by him, which causes them to share similar themes, such as paranoia and a sense of starting anew.
His videos feature quite a lot of CGI, most notably the remix of Points of Authority, which consists of a full CGI battle between robots and aliens, the robots headed by the 6 heads of Linkin Park members. In The End has a giant sky whale, with an entire barren landscape turning into a lush forest in minutes. Breaking The Habit is entirely animated like a Japanese Animé.
