Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a youtuber, this is a professor at this film thing who happens to make time to teach others. Kudos Sir!

Lightning a dark room is the beginning to a masterpiece cinematography 🍁

I can’t believe we get this level/quality of production, amazing solid explanation with graphics, references to actual movies…. For free?!! This has to be one of my favorite lighting and cinematography videos out there. Super useful, I learned so much from it. Thank you!

I have never understood color contrast and white balance as I have after watching this video. SIr you are awesome !! Thank You !!!!

What you said about your power grade and white balance made me realize “Oh ok this guy’s not just another KZfaqr. He’s actually a filmmaker who really knows his stuff”. No offense, and nothing against youtubers. But when you’re a long time KZfaq film school student like me you see a lot of the same info from different ppl. You’ve added something new. Cheers to you mate. Thanks for sharing. Great work on this.

Intro had me hooked! pass the popcorn!🍿

Wow, very clever. This is the most intelligent/original video about a usual topic (lights/color) I've seen on KZfaq in a long time. Outstanding work, Jimmy. 💫

Your videos are amazing bro. I got so inspired subscribed and liked right away. Best tutorial on the lights out there so far I have bumped into. Keep up the good work.

Your videos are so informative! Thank you for sharing. 🙏

Cool, detailed and precise explanation! Big thanks to you!😎

Awesome video! Loved the demo you made. I would like to add that the difference in colour temp shift you mentioned can actually be calculated by a thing called "Mired Shift." Because the amount of colour change in the kelvin temperature isn't distributed quite evenly, but when you convert it to a Mired value, which has a much more even distribution of a colour change for the temperature, you can get a better representation of what kelvin temperature to set to for the desired amount of mired shift. For correcting a light source with a gel, the same calculation is also used to determine the strength of the gel to be used. Manufacturers like Rosco and Lee, both states the amount of mired shift any particular gel correcting the colour temperature of a light source has.

Amazing lighting. Your kitchen shots looked like they came out of a big budget movie.

Intro went absolutely crazy! 🔥

Loved this

Amazing. Please keep these tutorials coming - they're so insightful.

Thank you so much for making this kind of videos. They are so insightful and it makes me more and more interested in film and cinematography ❤

I'm a cinematographer who works primarily with film, and your color match of the 500T is excellent. Congrats.

This is great information, Thanks!

Fantastic breakdown mate - I remember when learning about colour temp I couldn’t find anything that detailed the diff between light temp and camera temp, you made it easy to understand. Re: Amaran mats, they are so powerful on 1% that I keep a roll of ND in the kit!

great techniques and tips. 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks man ♥♥

Always wanted a video that could quantify color temperate as a means to paint and add contrast mood to the image. Thank you for making this video, which helps explain this to directors, dps, and more people from production

I’ve been wanting to level up my lighting, thank you for making this video!!! 🔥

Great video ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I really appreciate it. You’re a skilled cinematographer

Thank you mate, amazing video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you so much ❤ subbed!

Thank you Jimmy! I discovered your channel through this video and the quality of your explanation and cinematography is amazing.

Thank you so much for this bro, such a valuable lesson

Your channel is not only way more insightful than many other channels on YT, it's also so well presented and has great examples (not only in this video) that make things so much easier to understand. Binge watched all your videos already, subscribed. I hope your channel grows fast and you never loose your love to making great images...*ahem* I meant **cinematic** images! 🙃 Grazie mille!

Very useful and well-laid out info. Thank you sir!

really well put together! I've been experimenting with mixed temp lighting recently and this really helped me understand it better :)

love your content!

Wow gracias 💡

This single video was better than 2 years of film school

Very nice video. Loved it.

beautiful work thanks for sharing this

great video thank you

Great video :) thx

great video... Needed this today

Really enjoyed the deepdive! Great explanation of the tools you can use when it comes to color temp 🙌

Awesome & Thanks :)

Thanks 🙏

Very good and precise video!

Thanks for this breakdown. Always interested to know where to set white balance when dealing with mixed lighting for contrast. Cool to see how far off from either source you are to where you set wb!

Finally somebody that understands color temperature.

please make a video about the process of emulating the 500T stock! Great work!

wowowowowow immediate sub from me. such a wonderful breakdown!!

Super 👌

First! This is gonna be good! 😎

Awesome breakdown, thank you very much! Question: how did you know exactly what temperature the stove light was so that you were able to match it exactly? Did you use the app and use the matching feature where you take a photo of the light source, or just do it by eye? Thanks!

Great

Great video and awesome lighting setup! Thanks so much for these tips! I have an off-topic question for you: I don't really know if you shot this with a film or digital camera, but I'm looking for a way to emulate the "jitter" or texture shaking of analog films. . If it had been emulated, how did you manage to do it? Did you use any plugin in particular? Thanks if you answer me!

I definitely look forward to your videos! You have some great knowledge to share-massive respect. Just out of curiosity, in the setup at the 4:51 timestamp, you mixed two light sources: one at 13,000K and the other at 2,300K, both hitting the same diffusion in front of them. Don’t they basically mix up to output a combined color temperature?

Nice.

I suggest you add a blend mode "screen" to the overlay transitions in your video

Love the explanation! What's your opinion on keeping the wb and light source matched in-camera, and then do any coloring in post instead? I know that gets trickier when you have more than one source of light in different temps as you've demonstrated, but what's wrong with matching, say the key light in-camera so it's white, then in post you can adjust the fill light to taste?

Magnific!!, Could you Advice me some gels strong enough to stand powerfulll lights ? , I bought some and they went burnt by the VL300 From Godox, I can't imagine using them with the MD600 , Grettings

How are you getting the 13000 Kelvin from a light that only goes to 7500k? You say through the app? Nowhere in the product specs does it say 13000k. Great video as always. Your graphics combined with real light setups are awesome!!!

What is your camera settings when shooting at night?

Interesting and useful tips here. However, in cases where you had both 13000 and 2300 K sources, like in the dawn/dusk scene, was the camera balanced for daylight or "tungsten" ? Thank you for this excellent clip !

to achieve that saturated blue can you simply use the RGB function if the light supports it? That seems to be more straightforward than adding gels or calculating color temperatures

Good stuff till I saw the light in the shot! Lol! U called it out, good move... super cool! Thnx!

Your blacks look so gray. That confuses me.

very cool! great Video. One minor thing I have tu point out. You've mixed up the terms warm and cool so you speak about a high colortemperature and call it cool for example. This is intuitively right. ut technecly not correct. I like the example of a blacksmith who use the colour of the glowing metal to mesure if its hot enough. firs it is black, there is no glow but as he heat it up, the metal first glow dark red, then orange, then yellow an right before the meltingpoint it shines pure white.
