HDR & Dolby Vision

More range.
The same intention.

HDR gives us more room to shape light and color. The creative question is how to use that range in service of the image.

What changes in HDR

A well-prepared HDR finish can preserve highlight detail, separate bright elements, and carry a wider range of color. A practical light, reflection, or sky can have a different presence while the scene keeps its character.

The brightest available value is a creative option. I choose contrast and highlight levels around the story, the footage, and the intended viewing environment.

A connected HDR and SDR finish

I work across HDR10, Dolby Vision, and SDR workflows. Look development, the primary grade, any required trims, and the final versions are planned together.

I completed my Dolby Vision individual licensing milestone in 2021. Specialist HDR monitoring can be arranged around the mastering target, including access to a Flanders Scientific XM310K through Video Assist Hungary.

Watching the work

Use the original Vimeo or YouTube player on a compatible HDR display, device, browser, and playback path. A player may provide an SDR version when HDR playback is unavailable.

The photographs and stills on this website are standard web images. The original film player is the appropriate place to judge the HDR presentation.
