Is this what they call "Dynamic Lightning?"

No, this is "Static Lighting"

The words Static and Dynamic are antonyms. Static means to be fixed, stationary, never changing. While Dynamic means constant change or updating.

So Static lighting is having a single immovable light source that casts permanent shadows over an area. Dynamic lighting, however, is a moving light source that cast shadows over areas that are obscured from the light. (Think of the moving sun or maybe a flashlight)
