I like these videos along with your regular timelapse ones hope you keep doing them! Also the mobius strip in wood is a fantastic idea and well-executed.
The best way to fix the white balance is to change all the lightbulbs in the shop to 5000K. You can fix it in post too, but it becomes tedious changing every clip. Thanks for posting!
I would do the 5000k LED's, but then I would get a ColorChecker 18% gray card from X-Rite and set a manual white balance in-camera with it. Just doing a kelvin-based change won't fix a green or red shift.
Kyle - assuming you're using your Canon 80D, you should just be able to hit the 'Q' button to bring up a menu of options. White Balance will likely default to AWB (basically, auto). Tap it (on the touchscreen) and you'll get options to change it to a different (fixed) setting. You can also set up custom white balance profiles if you want. Just be careful once you've finished an indoor video shoot - if you've set a fixed white balance the camera will continue to use it; which could be a problem if you then shoot in different light. One final thing; many interior lighting systems don't emit the full spectrum of colours, so getting completely satisfactory results on video may be difficult without changing the lights.
No worries. As others have noted: you can also set a completely custom white balance, so once your lights have warmed up you could calibrate something perfect for your shop and (in theory) never have to tweak the white balance in post. I've not done that myself, but I'm pretty certain it's in the manual.
Hahaha @ 2:50 I'm going to try this method at Home Depot next time I only need a piece of a board. Maybe if I use my Ridgid saw they'll be cool about it!
Hey, Kyle, I really dig your projects. They are art. Very bold indeed. Have you considered live streaming? I know you got these videos and the podcast, but just a thought.
I know with Twitch you can get paid with subs, and folks with Amazon Prime, have Twitch subs they can give. you can also set up a streamlabs to accept donations. They have a creative section, I stream on there on occasion (drawing/painting). You could even stream yourself making the videos you provide for us here. Just interact with chat every once in a while. I dont know much about TH-cam streaming service, but you already have a following here and it seems to me to be a much larger platform. Seeing how you are in the shop everyday doing this, seems like a good way to reach out because you make a quality product. Have you used OBStudio?
Cool build... very interesting. As for your color balance.... just think of your videos as an oil finish instead of a poly acrylic finish.... I like the amber. :)
Hit the like button as soon as I saw the puppy. Your best bet is to set the white balance in camera, just point it at your wall or hold up a roll of paper towels or something (that's what I do), but it will depend on what kind of camera you have as to how to do that. It's usually in the menu though. You can do it in whatever app you use to edit, but it can be a pain. I actually don't mind the slightly warmer balance you currently have though, to each their own.
I just thought - how many freaking clamps ??? and literally 5 seconds later you answered my question. I get by with around 20 metal ones plus others of course... just subbed. mistakes are ok when counting..but when gluing....not so much.
Thats how I have always done it, They are one 40-50 pound clamps. I could use regular clamps but the twisting motion of the clamp makes it difficult to clamp things up
Kyle Toth clearly it makes it easier, I'm agree. I'm still impressed by the number of clamps it requires ^^ I like the idea of splitting your video in daily update, though it may be time consuming...
I made the side comment on your last vid - sorry. Assuming you weren’t intending to go for a yellow/orange tinge to your vid (which you might have, but I think makes it hard to discern colours and textures of wood), then here’s some help. First, white balance is covered on p 162 of the 80d manual, here: gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/4/0300022454/03/eos80d-im3-en.pdf#page162. That’ll tell you where to find it in the menu settings. You can fix it in one of three ways: 1. auto white balance (AWB) - this is the easiest, and may work for you. not necessarily the most consistent, though. You’re relying on the camera to guess the right colour of the lights based on the average colour of the shot and all things in it. That can change as the camera moves. But try it out. 2. Setting the WB to the particular light source you’re using, eg fluorescent, normal indoor incandescent (tungsten). This gets tricky if you’re using LEDs, as there may not be a preset WB setting. 3 Manual. See the Custom White Balance instructions in the manual. Shoot a white object under the same lights that you’ll be shooting in. The trick here is that the white object needs to be colour neutral (no, or little, ‘tint’ to it, which is harder than you think). In a pinch, a sheet of photo printer paper works well. Or a sheet of regular printer paper. Or a white coffee filter. Shoot a photo of that (making sure the exposure’s down enough and it’s not reflecting the light so it’s blowing out - a very light grey is a good target). Then set the custom white balance to that image. Hope this is helpful.
Supplement: my answer above is about helping to get WB corrected *in camera* before/while shooting. There are ways to get it fixed in post-production in your video editor, too. That would require you filming a reference white object that you can use as a WB reference later in editing. How you actually change it once you’ve got that depends on your editing software, which I’m not familiar with. Thx.
It's kind of driving me crazy that you are watching yourself in the screen of your camera instead of looking into the lens. It looks like you are watching something over my left shoulder while I'm watching the video.
Cool to take us with you on this project kyle!
Möbius strip with a Morpheus inlay, now that would be something. Looking good Toth, thanks for sharing.
I've been debating doing inlay on this piece, we shall see
So cool to see the tricks and joga to get the details. Todd is an awesome shop dog!
Keep it going, like the series. Understand it can be a pain to do daily vlogs but it's worth it.
Great video, thorough explanation! The color is warm & lovely as is.
Love this series so far! So down to earth.
The out takes kill me brother. Love the new style!!!
Loving the vlog style vids! Would love to follow along with every project!
Im liking this video build series! very simple and easy to follow! Thanks for keeping up with it.
I like these videos along with your regular timelapse ones hope you keep doing them! Also the mobius strip in wood is a fantastic idea and well-executed.
Thanks man, Lots more videos coming
Thanks for continuing the series.
Nice! I'm looking forward to your future videos re this project!
Love this new style of videos
Keep it going - need to find the time to do one of these!
Yay! Can’t wait for part 3! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing. ATB
This is really cool! You should try a klein bottle next :)
ohhhhhh

Cam Koerselman getting LED lights with diffusers would be best if he's serious about filming.

Getting there buddy! Good progress. It's safe to say that you have many clamps btw :-D

cool, I am using the 80D. I'll check that out. Thanks for the help

As soon as you said about how many clamps I was thinking that exact thing🤪
Hahaha @ 2:50 I'm going to try this method at Home Depot next time I only need a piece of a board. Maybe if I use my Ridgid saw they'll be cool about it!
hahah do it.
when it is finished it will be a bomb!
You’re the perfect balance of white for me Kyle.
Color is fine, actually looks like a filter. Haters gonna hate, potatoes gonna potate.
Hey, Kyle, I really dig your projects. They are art. Very bold indeed. Have you considered live streaming? I know you got these videos and the podcast, but just a thought.
I have, I know i'll do a few live streams, I don't know if want to do the twitch thing though, so maybe youtube live. We'll see, any Ideas?

"Cappuccino's are probably my weakness...yeah" hahahahaha

Ya know I like that! ha thanks Joseph
Love it. Keep it up.
Please tell me your golden doodle is named “Dusty”..... love the vids, keep it up!
ahhh his name is Todd. Dusty would have been good though

Awesome thanks for the info
I dig the jaundice-yellow.. don't change a thing.
haha sweet
Ready for video 3!
MrActiveDown 10 more videos wkwkwk
todd's looking sweet man.
Yay!
As a colorblind dude, white balance looks good to me. 😂
hahaha
Lol. How many clamps do you have?
keep it going!
Does your larger drum sander just have really horrible dust collection?
Yeah I have an awesome dust collector 5hp cyclone with 8 inch suction but the drum sander has terrible dust collection. So now I just live with it
I just thought - how many freaking clamps ??? and literally 5 seconds later you answered my question. I get by with around 20 metal ones plus others of course... just subbed. mistakes are ok when counting..but when gluing....not so much.
noooooice vids brahh
Why do you need a push stick like that?
Yeah, that project demands cappuccinos over adult beverages for sure.
1:10 I first thought that the green towers were small parts of trees
Podcast, you say?
Yeah The dusty Life, Check it out. Its a fun one
the dusty life!
This amount of clamps for each glue up is "for entertainment only" or this is the way you get the job done ?
Thats how I have always done it, They are one 40-50 pound clamps. I could use regular clamps but the twisting motion of the clamp makes it difficult to clamp things up

Yep.. pretty sure that was a cock and balls push stick noted there by some

Awesome thanks. I'm used to a gopro where its point and shoot so these bigger camera rigs are new to me. I appreciate the help!
That push stick, lol
Where'd you get that shirt?
Thedustylife.com Its a podcast I host, check it out
I have one just like it
Clamps R Us!
Still here 🍺🍚
Tell please, what kind of dog?
He's a golden doodle
Yep, your looking a bit yellow there.
It's kind of driving me crazy that you are watching yourself in the screen of your camera instead of looking into the lens. It looks like you are watching something over my left shoulder while I'm watching the video.
Brian Buckley I know right. I’m working on that. Its just distracting. Maybe i’ll fold it back
I have 200 of dem. haha
the porn music was a strange vibe
Hablas mucho al pedo y no mostras mas que tu cara.
