    The amazing thing with these videos is that even though I understand the basics of color temperature, the examples still give me a lot of creative insight on how to make use of them and inspires me to create. Thank you.

      This is wonderful to hear - as things are a bit more basic in part 1 compared to the other parts, I was hoping I could bring something a little different to the basic ideas in this section and explain them a little differently! It's difficult to find information on topics like this broken down into something I myself would have understood better when I was first learning, and even making this it gave me more of a clarity too, regardless of the fact I already knew the basics. So I'm happy you're finding inspiration from it!! Thank you so much!

    Hey Rob,
    A fellow cinematographer here from India
    This is really the level of content we all need on RUclips in terms of cinematography tutorials. I really enjoy your videos, they are so detailed and yet simplistic. I wish you could showcase breakdowns from more professional sets for eg - Shooting a high-budget advertisement or a web series/feature film whenever you get a chance to work on that scale. Wish you the best!

    Hey Rob
    I went ahead and got the full course and the way you managed to pack so much value into just 46 minutes is unbelievable. I take way too many courses online and I mean it when I say that this was phenomenal in an unparalleled way.
    Part two was absolutely insane. The sun and moonlight explanation blew my mind.
    And your presentation is unreal. Once I started watching, I practically went into a trance state. The music, the incredibly concise explanation and beautiful visual examples basically gripped me.
    For the first time, I can say that the subject of white balance is clear to me. I’m excited to try out everything you showed, thank you so much. This is brilliant. Never stop posting, please.

    Hey Rob, awesome breakdowns and tutorials. Thanks for sharing all the knowledge. Would be super useful if you could share your techiques how to nail manual focus on shots with movement. Like for example in the concert and wedding trying to have artist or subject on focus where there are lots of movement, and with gimbal as things get a lot more harder.

    • @RobEllisCinematographer
      @RobEllisCinematographer  2 года назад +1

      Thank you so much!! The only thing I can really say for that is practise - focus peaking helps out massively as a visual aid, but in terms of more run and gun one man band situations, it's really getting used to how your lens focuses and thinking about which way you should be turning that focus ring in relation to things getting further, or closer to the lens to get the focus correct. Once you've practised that enough it computes in your brain a little better, but there's no hard technical solution to shooting like this, it's just getting used to it and practise!

  • @gilbertknegt6419
    @gilbertknegt6419 2 года назад

    Awesome series! A bit late comment though.. There is a difference in using a certain temperature and adjusting the whitebalans. I'm not exactly sure how it works but I presume daylight has more of the colorspectrum so the subject reflect all the colors it can, while with warm or cool light only a limited spectrum. Do you usually notice a difference in using just any light and adjusting the whitebalans vs using a more white daylight temperature, in how objects and people look?

    • @RobEllisCinematographer
      @RobEllisCinematographer  2 года назад +1

      Thank you so much! I'm not overly technical in this regard, but yes there probably would be minor differences, because of the different peaks in the spectrum of the particular light you're shooting under - when LED lights started being used for filmmaking they were mostly a bit rubbish because of their low CRI rating and colour spikes for example, but now they're much better. A true tungsten/halogen light used to look much much better on camera than an LED or even HMI (I think it still does, but it's a much closer comparison than before!) because of it's colour spectrum being the closest you can get to actual sunlight/daylight with a CRI of 100. So taking these factors into account it depends on what you're shooting with in the first place! If you're shooting in natural light, or you're shooting with a tungsten/halogen lamp/light, then pushing your white balance around is still going to be super accurate. But with LED lights I'd imagine there are certain spikes in different places when you change colour temperature which could also effect how the image appears between different camera white balances and different white balances on the lighting unit itself. But honestly, I don't think there are any massively noticeable differences with the better accuracy of LED units nowadays. That's my understanding anyway - someone correct me if I'm talking absolute rubbish haha!

  • @宗原-r1s

    Why would you bother to match your color temperature of your camera to the light source. I mean you used a lamp and tungsten 3200K and moved your camera white balance to 3200.
    Can't u just set ur camera white blalance to 5600K since the frist place and then use warm light like 3200K or whatever. Isn't it more simple?
    I just asking cuz I really have no idea. No intention to insult.

In terms of image I couldn't really favour one over the other, there's definitely a different feeling to both cameras, which I imagine is the way the different sensors render an image (I'm not an expert on this stuff and full frame feels a bit different to work with on the S5) but both are equally as good in my opinion and you could easily match them.
