Super Members BTM_Pix Posted June 20 Super Members Share Posted June 20 Well I was about to post about using the Expodisc white balance cap but now I have The Bangles playing in my head. Thanks for that. John Matthews and PannySVHS 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PannySVHS Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Seriously, it's getting out of hand with ambivalent "newbies" posting many akward threads in a row. Wondering, how does cinematography.com handle it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where have you been all these ten years? Time travelling backwards? You were shooting with an FZ1000. Or you will be shooting with an FZ1000.😂 You're acting like a stalking weirdo. Get a life, man. You're asking irreverent questions and just trolling around. Get a girlfriend and you'll be happier. Don't hide behind a computer screen.

There are theories about you already? Impressive. You are either a newbie to videography or not, since you can't be both. Oh, there are no theories about you. You are wondering? Maybe you should timetravel to your FZ1000 post and wonder how you did that! What a (insert cuss word of your choice, but please a strong one) you are! @Andrew ReidI am at the risk of getting myself banned! Please help. I am starting to feel tempted to use strong language here. I just don't believe in time travelling! eatstoomuchjam and John Matthews 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfiend is so hot that your mama looks like your mama- that was supposed to be a "your mama joke", but it's not funny. You on the other side are .... well, neither a funny person. Or guy or girl or senior citizen or .... Alien!!!!!!! Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Matthews Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 What the flip is going on here? BTW, I have a question about lens caps. Which way do I turn them? I tried turning left but I accidentally hit myself in the face and chipped a tooth. PannySVHS and eatstoomuchjam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but if you're shooting raw it doesn't matter so much because you'll be adjusting in post anyway. That's why sometimes I just write down (or make a voice memo) with my color temperature meter's reading; with voice memos if ensure your camera's clock time is roughly the same as your phone's you can match them up later if you're taking multiple readings at different times. My cinema camera's WB settings are in roughly 200-Kelvin increments but my meter is of course more precise. So if I take a meter reading I can apply that in post and not even bother changing it in the camera. I tried using a color temperature meter on my phone (I bought a dome to go over the phone's camera) but it has to be calibrated to a professional meter so I ended up having to get a professional meter anyway (since I don't know anyone else who has a color temperature meter). The cheapest good color temperature meter I've used is the incident meter by Reveni Design, about $250, which does measure color. It's within 200 kelvin of my Sekonic but not as precise, but that's probably close enough as you can adjust to taste in post. lsquare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I do the same thing in a NLE? You can. But you need to do it in linear color space for accurate results. Shoot a clip in a log format, download Da Vinci Resolve, and try it out! lsquare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
