Finally someone showing the application of false color and how light affects the room.. been looking for this kind of explanation for a while now and this really tied my knowledge together . Thanksk for this vid!
@@adrianwongmedia And not to say their methods are "wrong", but for me, false colors really helps me understand exactly how much light is lighting up shot and whether or not those levels match the contrast ratios that I'm going for
The fact that you used lighting ratios is impressive. One thing I always am wary about is colour grading changing the actual ratios. Nice work on this.
@Alex Cheung it's not easy, been practicing more lately and it's a fine balance. Can be frustrating when you get to the grade and something is just off, can be the smallest thing in the shoot that plays a big part in the edit.
wow!! im blown away by your video! I'm very much a beginner and it was so helpful to hear you "think" your way through the process. I feel like I learned so much just getting to be a fly on the wall of how you figured out how to get the look you wanted. It's one thing to have a tutorial with a bunch of theory - but this was like getting to have a hands-on learning experience. You explain everyting so clearly - even the math/ratio stuff that went over my beginner head - I still understood essentially what you were doing and why by the way you explained it. I'm so grateful for this video. beautiful! thank you! i definitely subscribed!
Appreciate your kind words! So happy to hear that everything made sense haha. It's always difficult to know if it resonated with audiences, so this is great feedback! 😁
Isn't better to white balance to the face or warm light in order to make skin more natural? It will make background more blue aswell. What do you thing?
Very nice result! I think the only thing that is missing is that it looks like they they used some haze in the commercial which lifts the shadows a bit. Can you like me the commercial?
False colors are great for things like figuring out what contrast ratios from the film/video you're trying to recreate are. But when you're actually on set, using a light meter will also be an incredible tool to accurately measure the amount of light in your scene
This is such a nice video, but I dont really know the basics of lighting, so it's kinda diificult for me to understand the video. I started photography about 2 and a half months ago, and have only did a little bit of color grading by lightroom. I really want to learn the basics of lighting and color grading. In the future I want it to be my forte. Can you recommend me any videos or books about it? How did you study about it? I would be very thankful if you give me any tips or guide lines. Thank you!
Honestly, I studied by watching a lot of videos and tutorials about lighting and color grading. Start with basic lighting videos and once you have a basic understanding of it, watch WanderingDP on RU-vid for high-end lighting videos. For color grading for filmmaking, start with Cullen Kelley or Daryn Mostyn on RU-vid. I only do video so I'm not sure about photography tutorials or guides
