ALEXA 35: Workflow From Set to Post

Learn comprehensive strategies to prepare your ALEXA 35 project successfully and deliver all required media formats on schedule, meeting the demanding deliverable requirements of contemporary film and television production.

This new advanced 4-hour training program provides an in-depth exploration of ARRI's innovative REVEAL color science and the associated image processing pipeline. You will understand how these systems function together to manage color grading, visual looks, file organization, and metadata for the ALEXA 35 camera and compatible ARRI camera systems. Comprehensive project planning ensures the successful, timely delivery of all required materials for film and television projects using ALEXA 35 and related ARRI equipment.

Beginning with the camera itself, we will explore integrated color management strategies that flow seamlessly from principal photography on set through the entire post-production pipeline and final distribution, all while preserving the creative vision and directorial intent. This training serves cinematographers, digital imaging technicians, color graders, post-production supervisors, and any professionals involved in establishing efficient, organized workflows for ALEXA 35 and other ARRI camera systems.
