    I am a GH5 user and I always bring a pocket-sized grey card then just use the "select white balance" feature, point it at the grey card then done!

    Just filmed a video yesterday, all fancy, in S-Log3, 4K 24, on A7III, 1/50. Sadly, as a long time photographer, left AWB on, since I shoot RAW, and photos are photos. The camera was set on a tripod, I (the subject) was sat next to the window. The clouds outside were changing (but not much) throughout the 20 minutes that I was recording. Then in post, tried to swap places of different parts of the video - and it was such a terrible mess, even though the video was shot in a relatively controlled environment. It was the most amazing feeling that I can still get things wrong - and this humbling feeling is exactly what we sometimes need as creatives.

    One of the best tutorials on white balance on youtube! Great video Matt! I usually end up switching between 3200-5600k which I know I should stop doing and use grey cards etc. So I avoid tungsten lamps looking too warm in daylight set situations.

      I Graduated there back in 2008 and back then celluloid film was still the standard. The instructors beat it into our head that video is inferior to film, and that film will always be the standard and that video will never be able to rival film. So when it came time to learn about video cameras, I didn't pay too much attention to the white balancing, grey cards, and color checkers. Last year I bought the A7S III which is my first "real" camera and I was so overwhelmed with all the stuff I had to learn. That being said, I still learned a lot of good stuff that can be applied to digital cinematography, and the school gave me a great perspective on the different roles on a "film set". Ever since Saw 2 came out, Darren Lynn Bousman has been that school's pride and joy, hopefully soon I can take that mantle.
