Certified User Training for Imaging Fundamentals | Munich

ARRI Certified User Training for Imaging Fundamentals

Join us for a 3-day in-person training where you'll dive deep into the fundamentals of imaging science! Learn from industry experts about the inner workings of digital cinema cameras, color science essentials, and scaling paths from source resolution to final delivery.

The training consists of theory sessions combined with opportunities to get hands-on experience through exercises, assignments, and demonstrations. Plus, discover how the concepts you learn will impact the creative process and how you, as DIT, can safeguard the cinematographer's vision. The training does not provide a blow-by-blow overview of the role of a DIT or step-by-step operating guides of software or hardware. This is because every job and every crew requires a different approach to the position of the DIT. Instead, participants should leave the training with the confidence that their new found knowledge serves as a solid basis to continue educating themselves while on the job.

Who should attend

People with a desire to understand how on-set decisions impact post-production processes. People with 2-5 years of on-set, editorial or post-production experience, for instance as:

• Data wrangler
• Dailies operator
• Junior or medior DIT
• Assistant editor
• Junior colorist
• Conform editor
• 2nd AC

• The basics of standards like HD, UHD, 2K, 4K, SDR, HDR, HDtv/Rec709 and framerate;

People that are comfortable with at least one of the following two tasks at a beginner to intermediate level:
