Interesting way in creating real time HDR footage:

Wow.. That's quite amazing. I specially like the 2 HDR effect and the person. The person in HDR kind of looks like a video game character!

Great work!

You could technically make it HDR 3D footage.

Only with 4 cameras. They used two cameras to get 2 different exposures and not just 2 perspectives. In this case left camera would be under exposed and the right cam over exposed. Not a cool 3D effect  :D

What did they use, some kind of beam splitter in the middle so both cameras "saw" the same thing?

I presume it is somehow aligned/merged in software, in a similar way that HDR software can align photo-exposures when the camera position slightly changed.

Amazing timelapse of a timelapse production!

Seems like some pretty fancy equipment to manage such a wonderful result.
