[@BradyBessette]

It’s so true!!! Thanks dude

[@OAVProduction]

[@maximobriggs8499]

I guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost the password. I love any tips you can give me

[@bonsaipiper3773]

It's Nickelback!

[@chunmanf]

One of the best white balance videos out there! Thanks Brady! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@makethemix]

I’ve learned more about color temperature, white balance, and lighting from your channel in the last couple hours than I have in the last year. I’m glad I found your channel. Thank you, Brady!

[@tommymejiaen]

Im si glad I didn’t just skip this video. I have watched soo many videos on white balance and none have been able to so simply explain white balance like you did. Thank you light master :)

[@ekphotography]

Dude, you are killing it. I cannot believe you do not have way more followers, but you will. I have been shooting for 25 years and still learn things from you..

[@BradyBessette]

That is a huge compliment. Thank you so much

[@ekphotography]

@@BradyBessette you deserve it, you are very talented and nice for sharing your experience, most guys don’t usually like helping others unfortunately..

[@nnannaprince]

Never knew I'd really need to know lots of stuff about white balance such an underrated aspect of photography

[@BradyBessette]

It truly is crucial

[@dyland2005]

I want to say thank you so much. I've been searching so hard for the answer to this. Two different colors and how to set the WB. You also explained it amazingly.

[@aleclatulippe]

This video has been the most valuable video ive fkund in white balnce. I went down the road of discovering all of the nuance with this topic this evening, and this video helped clear pretty much everything up! Thank you much!

[@n1tr0sys09]

6:24 That!, that is a simple thing that none of the others say... It's really the kind of look you're working on, the kind of contrast on the WB you're looking for, that was it... Really thank you man

[@neddanison9202]

Excellent! I like the campfire and moonlight on the pines example. That kind of situation is exactly where white balance gets confusing, and I like your approach: find the middle ground.

[@CaptD06]

Clear concise and to the point. The examples you use and the why behind them were great as well.

[@mrdfwproductions]

Setting my white balance has been struggle and this video really helped me understand how to set my camera set according to how I want the shot to look. Thank you for this video!

[@danieluzelac8296]

Great video! It really helped me to understand, that white is more subjective than objective - in a very sensitive way. It is hard to explain, because I was very close all the time, but this video gave me the the knowledge of experience that I needed to grow. Thanks!

[@rockkid8306]

Awesome tutorial! Took me a while to get my head around why you have to push the white balance up to make the image look warmer but thanks to this video, it all makes sense now.

[@BradyBessette]

It always stumped me!! Thank you!

[@alphatoinfinity777]

I’m so glad I stumbled on this video! I just shot a video of my presentation and the colors just shifted from warm to cool and all over because my camera was set to auto white balance and adjusted based on the slides. So annoying. Now I know to just set the temp that best matches the environment. Thanks for the video very helpful!

Video I needed!!! I was looking all over youtube for a practical tutorial.. and then your video showed up in my feed. Huge thanks!!

[@keenanlam_]

Yes Brady! Loved this video man - was so excited for it 👌🏼

[@BradyBessette]

Hey hey!! I gotta go watch yours brb

[@TheDiscourseCollective]

Thanks for such a clear and well-structured video - it really helped clarify it for me and made it easy to understand.

[@erikjaman4401]

Dude you’re amazing. That was the best explanation I’ve ever heard.

[@arkadiann]

Thank God somebody is teaching white balance! Thanks a lot brady. Other UA-camrs are like "take this brush and click it'll adjust"

[@BradyBessette]

Oh yeah the brush does perfect work 😅lol thank you

[@Mattspeak86]

[@godkev]

I like your style and pace. Perfect balance to share knowledge, I love it. Cheers! Great quality videos!

[@BradyBessette]

thank you so very much!

[@Steljoka]

Amazing video, so perfectly explained. Is it possible to use any of these techniques to calibrate a monitor's white balance? Maybe with or without a gray card?

[@olakunlesmith1092]

Brady, you are a God send to the indey filmmaking community. WOW, fantastic filmmaking educational material. Thanks a bunch.

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you so incredibly much

[@shemarsingh2505]

Yea what he said. Really informative video

[@RivuSouravBanerjeeVideoEditor]

I needed this info , having bit of issues with WB recently when using multiple rgb lights in different colours

[@fely.n.novella7395]

This is exactly what I needed!!! Thanks for the video.

[@rickkane808]

This was a great explanation for us newbies, thank you!

[@usewisdom]

Thank you for explaining this. Helped me a lot! 🎬🎥🎞️

[@IvanOsikin]

This is such a great, succinct lesson. I could have done with this before an indoor band shoot we did yesterday!

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you so much!!

[@RockWILK]

EXCELLENT description. Mostly because this helps in real life. White cards and grey cards are awesome technical tools, but they don’t generally work in the real world. Thanks for sharing. 😉🙏

[@GeraldBertramPhotography]

Another great class. Thanks Brady!

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you!!

[@felixfelix7549]

[@cybersenpai_]

man, you're really getting better and better at teaching, sensei

[@BradyBessette]

That means a ton. Thank you

[@FerMuBe]

Thanks. I was struggling shooting night scenes in town … this helped.

[@ScottSullivanTV]

As someone who has been filming a lot of weddings recently, this video was really helpful due to the multiple color temperatures happening at once. Like how do I set white balance when they have tungsten lights outdoors at night

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you so much! It’s always a tricky thing

[@redawakrim]

This is something i've been looking for so long ... thank you !

[@BradyBessette]

[@AllThingsMan]

This is a very good video. I searched for this exact top a few years back when I was newer to this stuff, but this video wasn’t made at that time.

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you so much! Better late than never I’d suppose!

[@emvisuals]

[@TrailAmbience]

Thank you for this video.
Generally, what would you recommend for shooting a mare camp fire sort ambiance video with no people, just one consistent scene?
And or an evening sunset?
Thank you

[@sircookson]

This Video was amazing🔥

[@SaraAnn]

always fun modeling!!❤️

[@BradyBessette]

It always is a blast love

[@malozfilms]

Thanks Brady! Another excellent class, its always hard to know how to white balance an scene with different color temperatures.
You touch one of the fundamentals, white balance, now you have to explain how to expose right! ;)

[@BradyBessette]

I can do that!!

[@deepouterspace]

Very informative tutorial! Thanks a lot.

[@IntiFeelmaker]

Oh man, thank you for the simple, great explanation

[@blackhabitfilms]

So finally you are the one that taught me the key to white balancing

[@BradyBessette]

No way really???

[@xdraog]

Enlightening! Been struggling to decide what is the right way to set white balance. Everyone I ask were saying to match the light source to have pure white. But doing some christening, doing that it just messes the overall feel of the church, and I like that warm feeling. I struggle for a while with that. What was right or wrong. This helps understand the concept of white balance more. Thanks !

[@OfTwoLands]

Fire scene is beautiful, man !!

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you!

[@roykim5559]

You could say that it was “fire” 🔥

[@AntonandSinan]

Excellent vidéo, thank you

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you!!

[@EKMurakami]

Great information

[@englishforsrilanka2535]

Professor Brady, have I told you I love you?
You are the BEST!!!

[@BradyBessette]

Ahahaha THANK YOU

[@alejandrocamacho4486]

Hey Brady! I’m still learning and was wondering how did you set your white balance for your video of you talking? How would you have set it if your background was orange instead of blue? What if your background was half blue and orange? Thanks!

[@CritterElectronics]

You should make a part II to this video but with a different scene rather the fire. White balance PT II. I’ve watched this video so many times. So so good. It’ll drill the info in to us twice over, and you can give more examples, more knowledge.

[@kiddid7363]

Brady hitting us with the basics 💪🏽

[@BradyBessette]

But so important!!!

[@kiddid7363]

Very true

[@danielsomerstein9996]

Best explanation with practical example

[@koko_yogifit]

great video ! thank you, you helped me understand ! :)

[@kozykev]

[@B-Moye]

Great stuff, Brady!

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you!!

[@yangwu6638]

It is these basic details that make up a great movie！

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you very much

[@saviwaves5337]

btw this was actually useful since i set my WB with a point and shoot style app. it's very accurate most of the time, but sometimes it was slightly off for what i wanted the final result to be and i finally figured out why until @ 5:30 i got so used to the app, i stopped trusting what i was seeing out of my camera.

[@BradyBessette]

I’m glad you found this useful!

[@siphesihlesiyabonga3820]

Its like you knew i was researching about this and white balance shifting /tint

[@BradyBessette]

I did...👀

[@galachiev]

Adjusting WB in post is so handy. I wish my camera could record raw)

[@BradyBessette]

Raw makes it so easy !

[@schoeferfilm]

White balance is so underrated 😉 but so important 👌 the basic for good colour grading 👍🏻 best cinematic greetings from a little german filmmaking youtuber

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you!!

[@WaqasLashari]

Easy and simple explanation of WB i have ever seen.

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you very much!
