Teal and orange is overrated... here's how to do it correctly

The orange and teal look is one of the most popular lighting techniques in filmmaking. It's often considered "cinematic" because of the color contrast that it provides in a scene.

wow!! im blown away by your video! I'm very much a beginner and it was so helpful to hear you "think" your way through the process. I feel like I learned so much just getting to be a fly on the wall of how you figured out how to get the look you wanted. It's one thing to have a tutorial with a bunch of theory - but this was like getting to have a hands-on learning experience. You explain everyting so clearly - even the math/ratio stuff that went over my beginner head - I still understood essentially what you were doing and why by the way you explained it. I'm so grateful for this video. beautiful! thank you! i definitely subscribed!

The fact that you used lighting ratios is impressive. One thing I always am wary about is colour grading changing the actual ratios. Nice work on this.

@AlexJCheung Жыл бұрын

I appreciate this! Lighting ratios have definitely helped me pay more attention to lighting in general

@DatrysiadMedia Жыл бұрын

@Alex Cheung it's not easy, been practicing more lately and it's a fine balance. Can be frustrating when you get to the grade and something is just off, can be the smallest thing in the shoot that plays a big part in the edit.

Thanks for the tutorial, would be great if you had mentioned settings of camera's white balance as well.

Very nice result! I think the only thing that is missing is that it looks like they they used some haze in the commercial which lifts the shadows a bit. Can you like me the commercial?

@AlexJCheung Жыл бұрын

True! I think haze would have definitely helped with the shadows a bit more too

@asolidmindproductions 5 ай бұрын

Excellent tutorial! But as someone else asked below, what were the camera settings, especially white balance?

@AlexJCheung 5 ай бұрын

I set my WB to 4600K to start with and adjust according to taste. But I usually don't change it from 4600K too often after I set up the lights

@Longdancer Жыл бұрын

Thanks for this. Appecitated. Can i ask what colour tempreture you set your camera at in order to maximise the cold and warm ambiance of the lights?

@AlexJCheung Жыл бұрын

I'm shooting anywhere between 4300-4600K so it's even for both the warmer and cooler temps 😁

Isn't better to white balance to the face or warm light in order to make skin more natural? It will make background more blue aswell. What do you thing?

This is such a nice video, but I dont really know the basics of lighting, so it's kinda diificult for me to understand the video. I started photography about 2 and a half months ago, and have only did a little bit of color grading by lightroom. I really want to learn the basics of lighting and color grading. In the future I want it to be my forte. Can you recommend me any videos or books about it? How did you study about it? I would be very thankful if you give me any tips or guide lines. Thank you!

@AlexJCheung Жыл бұрын

Honestly, I studied by watching a lot of videos and tutorials about lighting and color grading. Start with basic lighting videos and once you have a basic understanding of it, watch WanderingDP on KZfaq for high-end lighting videos. For color grading for filmmaking, start with Cullen Kelley or Daryn Mostyn on KZfaq. I only do video so I'm not sure about photography tutorials or guides

…🤔 so, Using false colors takes the guessing out of the equation. That’s awesome 👏🏾

@AlexJCheung 7 ай бұрын

False colors are great for things like figuring out what contrast ratios from the film/video you're trying to recreate are. But when you're actually on set, using a light meter will also be an incredible tool to accurately measure the amount of light in your scene
