Student from the Online Data Wrangler and DIT Course

I really like that it’s clear you’re industry professionals and that you explain things that have to
do with your work environment. That sets you apart from other courses that can be found.







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. From verifying camera files and backups to assisting with exposure for the director of photography and on-set color correction, everything is focused on hands-on practice with equipment.

Introduction

The duties of the DIT and Data Wrangler in current audiovisual production have evolved and become increasingly complex. Initially, they only consisted of downloading camera cards (digital loader), but currently, a high-level DIT must perform real-time color grading (live grading), advise on exposure and camera menus with the director of photography, assist in developing the workflow with post-production, communicate with VFX and editing departments, and much more.

In this course, we will explain all these processes in practice, providing an overview of the current role of the DIT. We will have a high-level DIT and director of photography, Rafa Roche AEC. Thanks to him, we will have the perspective of a DIT who works on top-tier international film productions and a director of photography who considers the DIT an essential figure within their team.
