    I had a reception that was too dark for my FX3 at 800 ISO and 12800 was slightly too bright. I didn't want to use FlexISO so I ended up using 12800 anyways and brought my exposure down with my variable ND filter. I had to tweak the white balance but I was happy with the result.

    How do you manage such buttery smooth shots with those quick movements you do without having a gimbal and using a camera that has no IBIS, I mean it’s gimbal smooth and the BTS looks like your just shooting by hand… but how??? I can’t achieve this on my FX30 … teach us please lol..

    Kofi, man! We thank you for the great stuff you're putting out here in parallel with your work life, must be very tedious and I appreciate the hell out of it, one of the few creators I'm watching constantly. Quick question: how do you approach the color grading workflow in terms of monitor calibration/ all around color grading setup (multiple monitors, Decklink, etc.)? Are you working on a calibrated environment for Rec709 delivery or you don't sweat it that much? This is not often discussed among amateurs but can affect the final result greatly. But to work in a proper way, it also costs a lot of money. Any advice for some of the guys like us out here that are trying to make money in this client filmmaking lane (shooting and grading your own stuff) but don't have the budget to build a proper grading setup? I, myself, am grading on a LG 4k Led monitor, 99% Srgb and also using my phone as a reference, not the optimal way but it's the only solution for now. Hope you can answer, thank you!!

    • @KofiYeboah
      @KofiYeboah  Год назад +1

      I’ll be so real with you, I don’t have a super high quality monitor honestly, I’m pretty decent at grading, but I’m hardly a colourist 😅 but I have a computer video coming soon so hopefully that has insight !

    My question is, If I decide to use a grey card with rgb lights for the background and daylight for my subject, how would you balance that out with a grey card? Which lights you use to capture the grey card? I'm a noob and what I know so far(I think) is the grey card can give you the best balance in your image. Can you make a video for rgb/daylight, lowlight greycard tutorial? I need help on those and great video keep it up!

    • @KofiYeboah
      @KofiYeboah  Год назад +1

      Well daylight balance is 5000-5600K and then night balance depends on where you are but it’s typically higher to accommodate from the moonlight
