  • What to do when there's no white in a scene for color correction?
    www.colorgradingcentral.com/h...
    If you've ever had a tight shot that seemingly had a white balancing issue and yet nothing in the scene could be construed as white to use a reference, you're not the first and you're not alone.
    I remember as a startup colorist feeling so puzzled about, "How in the world am I going to white balance this shot with no white in it and how will I ever even know if it has been white balanced accurately?"
    Well if you're anything like me I like to stew over problems and listen to the marbles roll around in my head until I come up with a solution.
    And the solution to fixing a white balance issue even when there is no white in shot is to stick with what you do know.
    Filmmakers and photographers can rejoice because there's finally way to fix your shots even without white.
    Here's how... The main focus of any shoot is the talent, and they have skin and that skin can be used as a reference in place of white because when balanced properly it will line up on the "flesh line" of the Vectorscope!
    I hope this trick resonates with you and what you can do in your color grading.

      Hi Denver, a few years ago I bought color finale, it was great, the problem was when FCPX updated color finale was no longer supported, I have recently bought davinci resolve so have both, are there any guarantees that if I buy cinema grade the same thing wont happen the next time Davinci or FCPX has an update? is there not a standalone version of cinema grade?

    That's absolutely fantastic! I started to practice this process, and it hit me that I should practice on images WITH white, so I could "check myself" after doing your trick. Practicing that way, I was able to get the feel for where my skin tones should be on the skin-tone line when I have to white balance with NO WHITE. It's making my white balancing chops better with your trick!!!! You're amazing!

    • @colorgradingcentral
      @colorgradingcentral  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tommy that's a good idea to cross examine the two different methods and after all the skin tones are the most important subject so I'm glad that armed with these two methods you're going to optimal results 🙌🏽
