S1E2: Testing LED Color Response with The 4 F's

In Episode 2 of ‘The Science’, Cinematographer and Color Expert Tim Kang, takes a closer look at the importance of testing and metering LED color response in cameras with a method called the 4 F’s: Familiar Faces, Fabrics & Fruits.
With an industry full of differing LED systems and camera sensors, this episode emphasizes the need for understanding light spectrums and how they interact. Tim explains how spending the time testing your lights and cameras in pre-production will help speed up your shooting and post production workflows.

Hey Tim! I remember sitting through a presentation of yours at Cinegear in 2019 I think. You talked to me about spectral fingerprints and it completely changed how I light things. So thank you for finally putting it on video form. I remember that it was part of a presentation on a new diode from Quasar that removed the blue spike from the spectrum. How is the development going on that diode?
