HDR Nirvana

ASC associate member and American Cinematographer contributing editor Jay Holben discusses HDR from the set to post with Polly Morgan, Markus Förderer, Marshall Adams, Erik Messerschmidt, Jay Holben and Dave Cole, followed by a question and answer session in a new series of in-depth interviews entitled Insights: an incredible wealth of knowledge spread across three absorbing hours. In particular, we’d have to single out Erik Messerschmidt for his invaluable observations concerning the HDR workflow – unique in our experience – in that these are the very first by a renowned cinematographer that address the emotional, technical and artistic aspects of HDR in such a thorough and impassioned manner. A must-see for anyone interested in the greatest advancement in cinema since the talkies.
