Our today's guest will go down in history books as a part of a team that has changed cinematography forever. I am talking about the team behind the development of Arri Alexa. A digital camera that, until today, remains the most widely used digital camera in professional film production. And if you were to ask cinematographers why is it that they like Alexa so much. They would declare that it is all to do with Alexa's Color Science that is responsible for that illusive Alexa Filmic Look. 

In today's podcast, you will have a unique opportunity to meet the person responsible for this amasing color science. He is going to open his treasure chest and explain how he came up with it and how a rare opportunity that Arri gave him to work on an RnD project later was instrumental in the creation of Arri Alexa.

This is also the right moment to talk to our guest as Arri has just announced the Alexa 35, the most advanced professional cinema camera ever created with 17 stops of dynamic range and with a brand new color science. And you will get a chance to learn many crucial details about the new Arri LogC4.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is a great honor to introduce you to Harald Brandel a chief color scientist of Arri.
