    I've never quite understood the White Balance & Kelvin Color temperature and how it influences the quality of videos/pictures until now. I'm a visual learner so I appreciate the illustration. You have the ability to explain things clearly and effectively, making it understandable and useful for others. Keep up the good work! Thank you.

    This wins as the best White Balance tutorial on the entire internet. Hands down.
    I saw the video twice for the concept to sink in, and I've saved it on my UA-cam list for Photography.
    Thank you for sharing the knowledge!

    • @MurrayFrost
      @MurrayFrost 7 років тому +1

      How about things you should know when shooting with red for the first time? what is the best starter lens (maybe 3 of them) what add ons you need to get it running for a professional shoot and so on. what are good settings to use. what the workflow looks like. I am looking to rent a raven, but need to know who you guys would use it and why. Just something I thought wasn't common on the internet.... Let me know if you guys are interested in showing something like that. :)

    Wonderful video, explaining it in detail, thus the only problem (at least for me) is in remembering it all whilst in the field! I tend to use Auto 1 on my Nikon d750, where post can make any necessary adjustments, but I will try and adjust as needed and 'play' so to speak, to try and readily get a better understanding. Thanks!

  • @JussiTarvainen
    @JussiTarvainen 7 років тому +2

    I'd love for you to do videos on the basics and fundamentals of different lighting scenarios from low budget to higher budget and from different scenarios that often repeat in various film productions. Super grateful for what you do already though!

    • @JussiTarvainen
      @JussiTarvainen 7 років тому

      lensprotogo good point. I was thinking how you would light different scenes and why you would light them a certain way. You know different interview setups, dialog close ups, external and internal scenarios. Obviously this can take a tremendous effort and might be too much to do just for a tutorial. Maybe this could be done if you have bts footage of your own shoots or using cinedesigner. But also lighting breakdowns are super helpful too. You seem to be a very good teacher as you are able to explain things and break them down into small enough chunks which makes learning a lot easier. As you can probably tell from my unspecific questions that I'm at a beginner level in lighting and do t even know all the things I need to know so take it with grain and salt :)

    • @JussiTarvainen
      @JussiTarvainen 7 років тому

      Can't wait Greg! Awesome, I'll check that out.
      No specific scenes in mind. I guess what I'm asking is to learn the fundamentals and some basic examples of lighting so I can get a start on lighting. Then progessively learn how to light scenes on my own and make my own judgements why I'd light them in a certain way :)
      Even if you know any good solid books on lighting would be great but video and 3D seem to be much more intuitive and easier ways to learn lighting while applying it.
      Yeah that video from Matt was fantastic, how to light on a shoe string budget :)
      Thank you for taking the time to reply Greg!

    best explanation on white balance I have seen

  • @HardwareUnknown
    @HardwareUnknown 3 роки тому

    Wait... IT'S THAT SIMPLE? I've been trying to understand what white balance actually means and why I should pay attention to it as I start making videos. This sealed the deal for me. I've been looking into a set of lights and was concerned that the color would be difficult to manage since they are daylight panels rather than bi-color. I want them, though, since they're much more powerful than their bi-color equivalent. It seems that a simple white balance setting adjustment will fix color issues, at least enough for what I need. Thank you so much for the explanation.
