It's Nickelback!

[@jaredfilms]

this is actually more crucial than most people think!

[@BradyBessette]

It’s so true!!! Thanks dude

[@OAVProduction]

honestly agree to this

[@maximobriggs8499]

I guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost the password. I love any tips you can give me

[@makethemix]

I’ve learned more about color temperature, white balance, and lighting from your channel in the last couple hours than I have in the last year. I’m glad I found your channel. Thank you, Brady!

[@tommymejiaen]

Im si glad I didn’t just skip this video. I have watched soo many videos on white balance and none have been able to so simply explain white balance like you did. Thank you light master :)

[@chunmanf]

One of the best white balance videos out there! Thanks Brady! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@ekphotography]

Dude, you are killing it. I cannot believe you do not have way more followers, but you will. I have been shooting for 25 years and still learn things from you..

[@BradyBessette]

That is a huge compliment. Thank you so much

[@ekphotography]

@@BradyBessette you deserve it, you are very talented and nice for sharing your experience, most guys don’t usually like helping others unfortunately..

[@dyland2005]

I want to say thank you so much. I've been searching so hard for the answer to this. Two different colors and how to set the WB. You also explained it amazingly.

[@CaptD06]

Clear concise and to the point. The examples you use and the why behind them were great as well.

[@neddanison9202]

Excellent! I like the campfire and moonlight on the pines example. That kind of situation is exactly where white balance gets confusing, and I like your approach: find the middle ground.

[@aleclatulippe]

This video has been the most valuable video ive fkund in white balnce. I went down the road of discovering all of the nuance with this topic this evening, and this video helped clear pretty much everything up! Thank you much!

[@nnannaprince]

Never knew I'd really need to know lots of stuff about white balance such an underrated aspect of photography

[@BradyBessette]

It truly is crucial

[@mrdfwproductions]

Setting my white balance has been struggle and this video really helped me understand how to set my camera set according to how I want the shot to look. Thank you for this video!

Video I needed!!! I was looking all over youtube for a practical tutorial.. and then your video showed up in my feed. Huge thanks!!

[@danieluzelac8296]

Great video! It really helped me to understand, that white is more subjective than objective - in a very sensitive way. It is hard to explain, because I was very close all the time, but this video gave me the the knowledge of experience that I needed to grow. Thanks!

[@erikjaman4401]

Dude you’re amazing. That was the best explanation I’ve ever heard.

[@Mattspeak86]

Thank you for this information!!! Totally clears up so much for me!!! Was wondering this very question! Thanks again!!!

[@alphatoinfinity777]

I’m so glad I stumbled on this video! I just shot a video of my presentation and the colors just shifted from warm to cool and all over because my camera was set to auto white balance and adjusted based on the slides. So annoying. Now I know to just set the temp that best matches the environment. Thanks for the video very helpful!

[@keenanlam_]

Yes Brady! Loved this video man - was so excited for it 👌🏼

[@BradyBessette]

Hey hey!! I gotta go watch yours brb

[@JP-zx5td]

Thank you so much, Brady, for reading my comment and bringing it to this class! I really get some lesson from today's class bout this WB things. Godspeed always

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you so much JP, cheers!

[@rockkid8306]

Awesome tutorial! Took me a while to get my head around why you have to push the white balance up to make the image look warmer but thanks to this video, it all makes sense now.

[@BradyBessette]

It always stumped me!! Thank you!

[@TheDiscourseCollective]

Thanks for such a clear and well-structured video - it really helped clarify it for me and made it easy to understand.

[@n1tr0sys09]

6:24 That!, that is a simple thing that none of the others say... It's really the kind of look you're working on, the kind of contrast on the WB you're looking for, that was it... Really thank you man

[@godkev]

I like your style and pace. Perfect balance to share knowledge, I love it. Cheers! Great quality videos!

Nice nice nice, finally see a video not just how to match light sources. Great video thank you.

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you so much! Better late than never I’d suppose!

[@vamshigopishetty7061]

[@BradyBessette]

And thank YOU

[@FlashUltra_]

This clarified EVERYTHING

[@FerMuBe]

Thanks. I was struggling shooting night scenes in town … this helped.

[@Steljoka]

Amazing video, so perfectly explained. Is it possible to use any of these techniques to calibrate a monitor's white balance? Maybe with or without a gray card?

[@MarcinHaFilms]

I love your channel mate. Totally! I found it recently, what a gem :)

[@BayWeli]

[@BradyBessette]

Ahahaha THANK YOU

[@blackhabitfilms]

So finally you are the one that taught me the key to white balancing

[@BradyBessette]

No way really???

[@DAVEDigitalandVinylExpert]

Fantastic thanks for making it so easy to understand. Subbed.

[@malozfilms]

Thanks Brady! Another excellent class, its always hard to know how to white balance an scene with different color temperatures.
You touch one of the fundamentals, white balance, now you have to explain how to expose right! ;)

[@BradyBessette]

I can do that!!

[@AntonandSinan]

Excellent vidéo, thank you

[@danielsomerstein9996]

Best explanation with practical example

[@AlphaCentauri24]

Amazing tutorial. Thank you so much.

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you!!

[@xdraog]

Enlightening! Been struggling to decide what is the right way to set white balance. Everyone I ask were saying to match the light source to have pure white. But doing some christening, doing that it just messes the overall feel of the church, and I like that warm feeling. I struggle for a while with that. What was right or wrong. This helps understand the concept of white balance more. Thanks !

[@ScottSullivanTV]

As someone who has been filming a lot of weddings recently, this video was really helpful due to the multiple color temperatures happening at once. Like how do I set white balance when they have tungsten lights outdoors at night

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you so much! It’s always a tricky thing

[@JamesNobleMusic]

Fire scene is so nice bro! Great as always.

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you James!

[@arkadiann]

Thank God somebody is teaching white balance! Thanks a lot brady. Other CZcamsrs are like "take this brush and click it'll adjust"

[@BradyBessette]

Oh yeah the brush does perfect work 😅lol thank you

[@AzharNazzar1]

To the point n with clear examples thanks for your help

[@yangwu6638]

It is these basic details that make up a great movie！

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you very much

[@WaqasLashari]

[@cybersenpai_]

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you SO much

[@EKMurakami]

Great information

[@Mrlarryphelps]

That's just what I've been looking for.

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you!!

[@siphesihlesiyabonga3820]

Its like you knew i was researching about this and white balance shifting /tint

[@BradyBessette]

I did...👀

[@saviwaves5337]

btw this was actually useful since i set my WB with a point and shoot style app. it's very accurate most of the time, but sometimes it was slightly off for what i wanted the final result to be and i finally figured out why until @ 5:30 i got so used to the app, i stopped trusting what i was seeing out of my camera.

[@BradyBessette]

I’m glad you found this useful!

[@pianandrill]

Thanks for spending 10min and getting the advice "go and try for yourselfe" - very good lessen

[@OfTwoLands]

Fire scene is beautiful, man !!

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you!

[@roykim5559]

You could say that it was “fire” 🔥

[@B-Moye]

Great stuff, Brady!

[@BradyBessette]

Thank you!!

[@TrailAmbience]

Thank you for this video.
Generally, what would you recommend for shooting a mare camp fire sort ambiance video with no people, just one consistent scene?
And or an evening sunset?
Thank you

[@galachiev]

Adjusting WB in post is so handy. I wish my camera could record raw)

[@BradyBessette]

Raw makes it so easy !

[@koko_yogifit]
