After pioneering high-level DIT training in Spain, we’ve improved our course by adapting it to the new equipment, processes, and workflows used by Netflix, HBO, Movistar, etc. A course that has trained some of the current Spanish DITs who work internationally.
The role of the DIT has progressively evolved from someone who downloads camera cards to becoming one of the pillars on set for any audiovisual production. In this course, students will learn the tasks a DIT must perform according to the type of production and how to carry them out. This ranges from verifying camera files and backups to assisting the cinematographer with exposure and on-set color correction.
INTENSIVE WEEKEND ON-SITE COURSE.
16 HOURS – MADRID
Introduction
The roles of the DIT (Digital Imaging Technician) and Data Wrangler in today’s audiovisual industry have evolved and become increasingly complex.
Originally limited to offloading camera cards (digital loader work), a high-level DIT is now expected to perform real-time color grading (live grading), advise the director of photography on exposure and camera settings, assist in designing the post-production workflow, and communicate effectively with the VFX and editing departments, among many other responsibilities.
In this course, we will explain all these processes, providing an overview of the current role of the DIT. We will have a high-level DIT and cinematographer, Rafa Roche AEC. Thanks to him, we will have the perspective of a DIT who works on top-level international film productions and a cinematographer who considers the DIT an essential figure within their team.
