Nice overview. WB is so important to understand and control/manipulate. It gets really fun when you start using mixed kelvin values to create unique looks. Early in my career, I found myself struggling to predict the outcome of a mismatch camera and light source. I developed a simple visualization to help: I imagine the key light is a horizon line, and if the cameras WB goes above the horizon line, the image gets warm (like a sunrise over the horizon). If the cameras WB drops below the horizon line, it will be cool (like night time). Silly trick, but it works.
i was thinking to click on the vid or not. almost didn't (usual lazy me), but somehow forced myself since its just 5 mins. And DAMN, didn't expect i would understand it so quickly. Was suffering in class the whole time lmao. Thank you Damien!
Your explanation helped me understand it quickly. Question on measurement, in the absence of having a smart phone to download the app to measure the kelvin in the room, what are the alternatives? Is there a specific machine for this?
Okay I see. So IF all lights would be the same temperature it would be irrelevant which temperature they were. Only if you use different color temperatures it becomes relevant…? I always thought if I wanted tungsten light I need to buy one. But if I understand correctly I can just use my 5500k lights and set the white balance in camera higher to get a tungsten look..?
Hello professor, I have a question just to confirm the information. If I set my camera to 3200K and the lighting was 3200K, will I get white light or will I get a warm color as it is in reality?
It never hurts to have white balance set properly in the camera, however, it's important to note that if you shoot RAW the white balance set in camera only applies to the jpeg representation of the image. It is not "baked" into the image. You set white balance in post processing.

Brilliant visualization, thank you
Glad I found your video...A BIG THUMBS UP on your easy-to-understand information on white balance! Thanks
Jussst needed this for my digital media class… have a blessed day my friend :P

As usual, GREAT content. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
You are the best Damien, thanks for this
Thank you so much sir for your packaged information.
Great Video my dude ! audio is super crispy !! noted all of this including the G|M Shift
Thanks appreciate it! ✌🏻
Great video...many thanks !!!
wow, what a treasure of information! Thanks!

Great video homie🤟🏾🥂🔥
cool. Quick question: The transition/titles at 3:20 "bi color lights"? What MOGRT/pack are U using there? They look very nice.

THANK YOU
good video
at 3:49 in this video ,do you set white balance on the color checker side and the white side ? I still don't know how to use a color checker
fire
can we get a link for the app?
So if it is really the white balance inside of your camera that gives you either the cooler or warmer look why are there bi colored lights?
Because we want to create a contrast. If all lights were the same, changing the white balance in camera would just change the entire image
Okay I see. So IF all lights would be the same temperature it would be irrelevant which temperature they were.
