Recommended. Practical guide to the light setup during the hours of the day to understand the advantages of better managing HDR Shooting.

The "High Dynamic Range" workshop was extremely helpful by not only discussing the differences in lighting techniques but also demonstrating how certain problems could be mitigated during the capture. Alway emphasizing the importance of capturing correct skin tone as the primary objective but the workshop also demonstrating practical lighting, and set color techniques. A really great presentation with lots of good information that I'll watch many more times.

It is a new technology for me, so it was great to have a deep insight and very detailed and practical examples to show the pros and cons on HDR on ALEXA systems

Very interesting course, but quite difficult sometimes. The HDR introduction is quite criptic, and for someone new to the topic is difficutl to understand. But the overall course and lessons are very well made.

Really nice course, but in the set, someone who really understands HDR should be there telling the course. DP is fantastic, but his knowledge with HDR wasn't the best

Looks like there were moments in between set ups where they discuss results, grading and workflows that it is not shown on the course. That would have been very useful to have.

A behind-the-scenes "live" workshop on HDR and lighting was full of practical information and tips. Useful tips included grading in SDR first, and HDR second, but with the workshop having been filmed in 2017, consumer and professional cameras and TV sets have made advancements in the years that have passed. Other interesting ideas were discussed in the Q&A chapter, especially with how some post-production houses do HDR pass, whereby an SDR grade will have an HDR Rec 2020 LUT applied, with a pass to check too see which areas of the footage has issues. Overall, an interesting workshop course for those who want to see a "practical" hands-on demonstration on the impact of lighting practices in the HDR production workflow.

Nice! I preferred most the Q&A section than Karl Walter's lighting... I found it too old school.

Great course thanks ARRI for offering it for free. It would have been nice to also see the section dealing with how the footage was handled in post.

If they got to the point, this course would've been 1 hour instead of 2.5.

Most of the SDR and HDR results were not available to compare as he was lighting. The class was very informative indeed.

Very interesting lighting course, but not so fluent about HDR. At the end, the Q&A with the colorists saves the topic.

I truly enjoyed the Q&A at the end, I think it was the most valuable part of the course, and they really digged into the differences between HDR and SDR workflows and grading. On the rest of the videos, the approach and thought process of lighting the scenes was great, but it felt more like a lighting class than an HDR class. I felt the concept of HDR wasn't as predominant as I would've liked.
