Josh Pines and Maxine Gervais Talk HDR

“One of the problems is, they [SDR and HDR] look different, so if you’re doing a movie or episodic, can you simultaneously think about making two things that look different? Usually there’s a vision, there’s a creative intent, that you want preserved across all the things… so what we wound up having to do was to cater to both.” – Joshua Pines, Chief Color Scientist, Picture Shop

“I believe that we can no more shoot for HDR and SDR simultaneously without serious compromise than we could shoot for 16:9 and protect for 4:3. It just won’t work.” – Steven Poster, ASC, President, International Cinematographers Guild IATSE Local 600
