Breaking color temperature down into 3 different styles of shot: Recreation, Modification and Exaggeration. By thinking about most any shot in this way, you may be able to better visualise and implement the desired visual language of the shot/scene/film you're shooting;
Recreation allows us to create something very realistic, right down to how a certain location looks in reality at a certain time of day.
Modification allows us to add temperatures into a scene that exist in reality, but don't necessarily exist in the space we're shooting.
Exaggeration lets us create a combination of temperatures that we might not ever see with our own eyes - but still exist.
This is just one aspect of what can contribute toward a cinematic feeling - check out the other episodes in the Lighting for Cinema A - Z series to learn more about what makes cinema feel a certain way:

Your videos are the only informative type videos that I don't watch on 2X speed, as to not degrade the almost narrative viewing experience. Other such videos I watch just to get the information as quickly as possible, while your videos are like a movie that also teaches me things. Great job as always Rob, keep them coming!
Too kind, I massively appreciate that - I put a lot into these, so hearing that you watch them in the way I aim for them to be watched is a great feeling. I hope you enjoyed this one - thank you so much!!
@@RobEllisCinematographer Oh yeah man, it was great! And yes it totally shows, the gargantuan difference between the way you make these almost like short films vs someone just delivering the info in a talking head style with some stock footage B-roll is not only obvious, but highly appreciated. I know that at first and at times it may seem like a lot of extra effort without an immediately correlated result, but know that it compounds as you are building true fans and creating a unique brand for yourself, which will pay massive dividends in the future. Thanks again for all your work, stay awesome!
agreed on a movie that teaches things
Matching your mouth to the voiceover is such an uncanny feeling at the start
Haha it wasn't supposed to be that noticeable - I had to ADR the kitchen stuff and I'm not an audio expert so it's probably slightly off. The other 2 setups are actually me talking in the scene though, so they shouldn't feel so weird 🤣
@@RobEllisCinematographer It was excellent man, It sort of make an uncanny feeling but in a good way, like breaking a 4th wall because I haven't seen you talking in other videos so it was a surprise but well done ✔
@@n1tr0sys09 thank you so much!! Glad I got away with that one then! 🤣 I’m gonna be going between voice over and talking in the shots depending on the video topic going forward, so hopefully can keep that element of surprise up haha!
@@RobEllisCinematographer it was noticeable. But, good job and good effort nonetheless.
loved it .period.
i have a million YT channels about film making & cinema. but when it comes to lighting its always Rob Period.
Thank you Rob so much for your hard work
So happy you're enjoying my videos so much and I appreciate your kind words - thank you so much!
Rob, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.. you are a master of your craft! Keep up the good work, man! Your videos on lighting are hands-down, the best on the Internet.
Too kind David, I massively appreciate it! Very happy you're enjoying them and I hope you can continue to do so! :)
You are really the youtube master of Cinema lighting tutorials ,
Oh my gosh, these are all shared online for free ,
How generous is this .
Imagine how many people who want to learn these videos can benefit in the future.
Too kind, thank you so much! That's the idea behind this A-Z series, having a library online that anyone can learn from anytime :)
That voiceover lipsync at the beginning was terrifying
That 4th wall break in this one is a real vibe! Using reality to create our own is a great quote to live by creatively!
Thanks so much Steve! I do enjoy putting those in haha! And absolutely, I think it’s a great mind set to have!
Great work as always!
I'm so happy I found your page. I've never been more honored and willing to follow someone. Thank you!!!
That is too kind and I appreciate it a lot - thank you so much!
I'm completely blow away by this lesson. Such an engaging method to deliver crucial information. And such style with the voice over desegmentation. IMHO this is truly a masterclass in cinematography. I subbed and look forward to your next lesson 👌
Absolutely amazing! I never imagined I'd come across such an exceptional video on color temperature! Thank you, Rob, for putting together a detailed and informative video!
Thank you so much Mitch! Super happy you enjoyed/found this one useful! :)
I've got more satisfaction watching your video than anything I could catch on Netflix or Prime! Keep 'em coming :)
Wow, that's awesome, I massively appreciate your kind words. Thank you so much! :)

Always a pleasure to watch your content
This is just brilliant! You explained it in such a good and simple way with examples.
Amazing stuff. Thanks for all the effort put into making this, it was a fantastic watch!
Very happy you enjoyed it Eddy - thank you! :)
What a G. Been really trying to master the relationship between color temperatures and white balance. Your videos help a lot and have great presentation.
Thanks so much Josh, glad my videos are helping you!
Thank you for the detailed setup for recreating midday lighting. It isn't talked about as enough as compared to dusk/dawn or lighting for a night scene. I had a few doubts regarding the implementation of a cooler ambient fill for cooler shadows in midday lighting. You have addressed that expertly in my opinion. Thank you!
For sure, it's can be really tricky to figure out because of that lack of conversation around it! It's always going to depend on the location and how realistic you're recreating the light to that specific place, as sometimes you'll get less or more blue sky through a particular window, etc. Very happy you found the video useful - thank you so much!!
Dude this is insanely good, can't imagine the amount of work that went into it
This series is very hard work for sure - but very worth it if it's helping people! Thank you so much Hunter!
It’s eye-opening every time i watch your videos. please keep doing this.
Beyond happy to hear that - hope you can continue to enjoy the videos going forward, thank you so much!!
Happy to have learned alot of things from your channel!
Great content! 👍🏻
Once again you show us how to properly, and creatively, light our scenes in clear and concise explanations. This is definitely the best channel on lighting techniques on TH-cam.
Too kind - I always appreciate your kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed this one! :)

Thanks so much mate. Always love your videos, you're an absolute wizard!
Too kind Ashley - thank you so much! And beyond happy to hear you've been enjoying my videos so much!
Thank you for all of the hard work you and your crew put in!
Thank you so much! :) We definitely pulled a late one for the kitchen shot!
Love this explanation Rob! Always learning from your channel :) "Borrowing from reality to create your own" is such a great way to look at lighting!
Thank you Luke, I’m glad to hear that! Absolutely, I think it’s a nice way to look at any creative practise really, I’m glad it resonated with you!
Beautifully explained. Great tutorial
Far out, what an amazing video! Production on this is elite!
Thanks so much Dominic!
Not only are your videos very helpful, but they are absolutely BEAUTIFUL
Thank you so much Jay!! Too kind!
When you actually spoke on camera I was honestly surprised. Was not expecting that, it felt like you were breaking the fourth wall, haha
Haha I love it! Will be doing this every now and again going forward, depending on the topic, hopefully I can keep the surprise up 🤣 hope you enjoyed the video! :)
Thank you so much for the knowledge. This is priceless.
Another great video. Your ability to "see" and understand light and shadow always amazes me..... Respect.
Thank you so much! There’s not really an innate ability, I just observe and practise and fail and learn - then put it together. Anyone can do it, just takes a little time to figure out, as with any practise 😁 I appreciate your kind words massively!
Your videos have truly inspired many all the way here in South Africa. Loving how your videos have evolved while still maintaining all the useful information, presented in a clear cut way, as all things should in this craft. thank you
As I said in another comment here, it’s always so good to hear where everyone is from and I’m so happy people from many different parts of the world are finding my work so useful! Thank you so much for your kind words!

Very happy to hear it, I just replied to another comment saying that it's sometimes difficult to tell if I've under or over explained, or made things too complicated when I write the script. So that's great to hear - thank you so much!
Lighting masterclass! insane!
also damn the S5 looks crisp!
Thank you so much!! Yeah I love the images I get from the S5’s ProRes Raw, just a shame I have to convert to cinema DNG for Resolve and the Ninja V can be a bit temperamental!
Awe so inspiring!
Happy to hear it - thank you so much!

Appreciate it massively - it can be a pretty big undertaking with such a small team for sure. Thank you! :)
this was soo good
Thank you so much!! :)
Thank you so very much. Greetings From Brazil.
Great to hear from you Elias, hope you're doing well and you enjoyed the video! Greetings from the UK!
You said you would be doing more talking heads. If this is what you are doing im down for it. in the last comment I said talking heads , referring a close up head shot of someone just talking. You talking as you show its such a good way for anyone to see and hear what is being done. If anyone wants to shoot a movie this is the channel to watch. Hands down the best lighting and filming channel on youtube. It shows its not always about the editing its about what you capture in camera.
Its interesting about the blue. Was out with my friend a few years ago he is a painter. Was shooting some footage and he said that due to being in the UK there is always a blue tint in the shadows. I some times add a blue tint in my videos. Just a little and it always seem to make the video stand out more.
Great breakdown of color temp and what it means.
A bit more of this yes, but I'm also going to throw in some more standard "TH-cam style" talking heads to fit in between uploads also, just to fill any long gaps, as these videos take a while to make!
Too kind, I massively appreciate it and I'm glad you're enjoying my videos! Haha well it's cloudy a lot in the UK so the color temperature is cooler all over quite a lot! Thank you so much! :)
You are the real deal man
Glad you enjoyed the video - thank you! :)
you are the best !
Dang dude! Just discovered your channel and I freaking love it! Always was looking for some information like this and finally you made it happen! Thanks so much! P.S. one thing I wanted to ask you, in all the scenarios I suppose you had the wb of the camera set to the motivated/main source light or it was set to something like 5600k always???
great video, thanks for putting it together for us! would be also interesting to hear what are you rating the camera at WB-wise

so good
Thank you so much! Hope you found it useful in some way! :)
Bro. It’s been like 2-3 years since iv seen your videos for the first time and youve been the bench mark of where I want to reach as a videographer when it comes to lighting. Unfortunately for me I do social media work and I move lightly so I go to shoots with one large suitcase of equipments which is one godox fill light. I can’t wait to get my own car so I can load it up with all the lights I can to start doing these types of lighting
Too kind, very happy my work has inspired you in some way! One light might feel limiting but you definitely get a lot of practise and knowledge out of limitations - I hope all goes well now and for the future! :)
Thanks! Would be great to add to this cool tutorial info about in camera WB settings
th-cam.com/play/PL_dDUxn1Y2e1K1fHHR7pnPCN6VRPYGwhe.html - I made a little series a few years ago discussing this aspect! For this video I was around 5600K for the sunset/sunrise scene and midday scene, give or take a little - except the moonlight scene which was closer to 4000K to keep the cools cooler. Also graded both warms and cools out to push a little more saturation into both!
Great vid again mate. Awesome stuff. I wonder do you make short films aswell? Or in what scenarios do you use your skillset?
Thank you so much! :) I used to freelance whatever I could get my hands on - ads for local companies, music videos, etc - but then the pandemic happened and I've kind of just been doing what you see here ever since! I would like to start going towards short films (and beyond) going forward, I've just gotta combine it with what I'm doing here so it's viable for me to carry on making money also!
Superb and inspirational as always. I can only echo the other comment that your content is perhaps one of the very few that I don’t’ watch and x2 speed. And invariably watch more than once to ensure full understanding. May I ask one question; historically when using the BMPCC series of cameras under such dark conditions what is your typical ISO value? - I read divided opinion on this. I understand the dual ISO and noise floor arguments. But I also recognise that sometimes it could be counter intuitive to choose an ISO give more dynamic range in the shadows. Then requiring varying levels denoising in post and black levels in the grade. Thanks and keep up the great work.
I think that mentioning what the camera is set to capture at in temperature would be a big help for some. Not sure what you have it set to. This is a fabulous demonstration of temperature and how it's used though.
I restrained myself from doing that in this one, because I would have wanted to go very in depth into it and it's something I've covered before - th-cam.com/play/PL_dDUxn1Y2e1K1fHHR7pnPCN6VRPYGwhe.html&si=bgyR5zzRPwwFKzec - experimenting and practising with color temperature and white balance will help you to roughly guess where white balance is just by knowing the color temperature of the lights! But in this video, the sunrise/sunset and midday shots were shot around 5600K, give or take a little. The moonlight shot was closer to 4000K, to keep the cools cooler.
Rob back with another banger! Great advice Rob, we should try and maintain realism, which means you can still overstep the line of reality. On another note, I have a question, how important do you think RAW video is for an intermediate user? I see that you use the Lumix S5 and the BMPCC6k. Which one do you reach out to more often for your work? I understand that RAW video offers greater latitude in terms of exposure and white balance, but are there instances where RAW video is essential?
Thank you so much!! ☺️ in my own personal case I use RAW most of the time, as it gives me a safety blanket in case I need to push things around in an image - which I often do, as I’m shooting a lot of solo, super low budget stuff in less than ideal locations. I prefer using the Pocket 6K over the S5, as even though I love the image from the S5 in ProRes Raw, I have to convert it to cinema DNG to use in Resolve, which doesn’t play well with my editing system and is a longer process. (Also the connectivity issues between the S5 and Ninja V are super frustrating, random frame drops, etc). BRAW is much more flexible in terms of compression options and runs really well even on a lower powered system like mine. I wouldn’t say RAW is essential to my work but I’m so used to it I’m a bit wary of shooting anything else haha!
I accidentally removed your reply, my bad! I'm a bit under the weather at the moment haha. I have the video assist too, but the BRAW from the S5 doesn't seem anywhere near as flexible or "nice" as the ProRes RAW - might just be a me thing but I never got on with it. I'm probably gonna grab the Pyxis for full frame BRAW!
Nice video. Would love to see one just using natural light and one using tungsten lights. Thanks!
They are a bit old now but I have a few videos with these - th-cam.com/video/HxXhSXIyc1I/w-d-xo.html - natural light
th-cam.com/video/RJqgsGDkTl0/w-d-xo.html - cheap tungsten red heads
Very good video, the truth is I don't think it has been explained better, I am becoming more and more clear about the issue of color temperature with respect to lights, I would appreciate it if you would also make a video on how to master the color temperature from the cameras , it would complement this video too much, thank you in advance and greetings from Peru! Your content is great for people who love movies.
Thank you so much for your kind words Manuel! I actually did this a few years ago - th-cam.com/play/PL_dDUxn1Y2e1K1fHHR7pnPCN6VRPYGwhe.html - hopefully that should help! Greetings from the UK! :)
Thanks for the awesome video, if you could add also the white balance of the camera to the next breakdown I'd really appreciate it! Keep it up!
Thank you so much Peter! th-cam.com/play/PL_dDUxn1Y2e1K1fHHR7pnPCN6VRPYGwhe.html - I made a little series a few years ago looking at this aspect! You can generally guess the white balance roughly once you've practised using it enough!

@@RobEllisCinematographer awesome dude! Appreciate it! Will check it out :)
What temperature to set in camera should we leave it at AWB ? I thought that is a crucial info thanks for taking your time to make a script and visual that made temperature simpler to understand
Wow! your understanding of lighting is amazing! You have more understanding on how to light a scene, than a lot of gaffers I have met through out the years. AMAZING WORK ! I had a question, what color temp was your Lumix S5 set at in each different scene? Cheers!
Thank you so much John! For this video I was around 5600K for the sunset/sunrise scene and midday scene, give or take a little - except the moonlight scene which was closer to 4000K to keep the cools cooler. Also graded both warms and cools out to be a little more saturated!
Great Again
Thanks David! :)
Great video! You got a new sub. Question... what do you set your white balance to for these setups? That's something that I struggle with
Thank you so much for your support! The sunrise/sunset and midday shots were shot around 5600K, give or take a little. The moonlight shot was closer to 4000K, to keep the cools cooler. 5600K is somewhat of a "standard" but realistically you can change your white balance depending on the intention of the shot and if you're limited by the color temperature of your lights. th-cam.com/play/PL_dDUxn1Y2e1K1fHHR7pnPCN6VRPYGwhe.html&si=bgyR5zzRPwwFKzec - experimenting and practising with color temperature and white balance will help you to roughly guess where white balance is just by knowing the color temperature of the lights!
