    UA-cam didn't suggest this video to me despite being subbed....lame. That out of the way, love this one buddy. I love the sidus link setup. I really ought to pick up the kit. In terms of safety and taking this to the next level, you can use suction cups with a cheese plate (like the 9.Solutions) and then friction arms. Alternatively, just mount one speed rail along the roofline of the car with 3-4 suction cups and clamps. Dammit, now you made me want to do this....

  • @englishforsrilanka2535
    @englishforsrilanka2535 3 роки тому +1

    Professor Brady did you have the white balance of the camera set to daylight when you shot this scene?
    I assumed so as the 'streetlights' are at around 2000k and the blue light, which you placed on the speedometer, is at 6500k. Therefore according to my very limited self learned cinematography knowledge, I'd assume that you'd set the white balance at around 5500K to get the contrast between the warm and the cool light.
    Am I right professor? Apologies in advance if it's a dumb Q!
    Keep up the fantastic work!

    • @BradyBessette
      @BradyBessette  3 роки тому

      I believe I had camera WB at 4000 and the streets were HSI at like 30 hue. White lights were 6500k

    • @englishforsrilanka2535
      @englishforsrilanka2535 3 роки тому

      @@BradyBessetteForgive me but I don't know what HSI stands for professor! So if the WB was at 4000 am I right to assume that warmer colors would appear less warm as opposed to having the WB at daylight.
      Professor Brady I tend to leave the WB at daylight 99% of the time because it seems to be the best color representation of what my eyes actually see. Is this a wrong approach?
      I once tested out my only cam, a SONY a6500 on a candle lit scene. I noticed that when I set the WB to daylight, the colors picked up by the camera were very similar to what I could see with my naked eye. But when I pushed down the WB to 2500ish, the candle light hue was picked up by the camera as white light, as opposed to the natural orange hue of a candle.
      Could you kindly make a video on white balance good sir!
      As always thank you for responding.

      @@BradyBessette One doubt tho...
      Why won't you do videos with more people on frame?
      Cos of Covid?
      A table dinner scene or classroom or campfire.
      Something like that.

    Thanks for the great video..
    It is a struggle to get the lighting correct but watching you take your sweet time to plan everything and test them makes me feel like I just need to be more patient 😌
    Thanks for the lesson, man..
    More power to you..

    I really enjoyed and learned from this.
    I've been looking for a video showing this exact thing for my next project.
