Certified User Training for Camera Workflows

ARRI Certified User Training for Imaging Fundamentals | In-person

Join us for a three-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 (aspiring) 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.
