But while most of the conversations around the series have been overwhelmingly positive, there have also been one or two complaints from fans.<\/p>\n
One of the areas of concern has been related to how dark certain scenes have looked \u2013 with many viewers taking issue with the fact that the lighting of key sequences has made it rather difficult to work out what\u2019s going on.<\/p>
And now, showrunner Ryan Condal has addressed this problem in an interview with Deadline<\/a>, explaining that the issue likely has its roots in the television sets that the show is being viewed on, rather than specific problems with how the scenes were shot.<\/p>\n \u201cThe difference between making television and making movies is when you make a movie, you calibrate the thing that you\u2019re making, the master file, for this idealized movie theatre experience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know it\u2019s going to go into a professionally-calibrated environment, run by a professional projectionist on a professional sound system.\u201d<\/p>\n Condal explained that despite making the series on great equipment in \u201cthe perfect environment\u201d, different distributors will slightly change how House of the Dragon looks when airing it to audiences.<\/p>\n \u201cSome air it in 4k, some in 10 EP, some over-crank the brightness, some under-crank the brightness, some make the sound different.<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re also releasing it to 10s of millions of different television sets that are all different technology, calibrated differently and set up differently in different viewing environments. It\u2019s almost impossible to account for all those variables when you\u2019re making the television show.\u201d<\/p>\n The showrunner added that while he is aware of fan complaints, he believes House of the Dragon looked \u201cphenomenal\u201d when it was released and is \u201cgreat\u201d on his own television set.<\/p>\n House of the Dragon airs on Sky Atlantic and is available on\u00a0NOW<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 find out more about\u00a0how to sign up for Sky TV<\/a>.
