      Well technically there's a very very very very small percentage of the population who has a genetic "defect" in the hemoglobin production causing them to have blue blood and to have a blue hue but that can be solved by using a medication of methylene blue to return to the redish tone

    Could you (maybe one day) try to recreate certain lighting/color corrections from movie scenes? For example doing a dark colored horror scene, a bright beach setting, classic thriller/drama/action/...
    For us it would be quite valuable to see how much initial lighting you are using, what parameters to focus changing on, getting to know what styles are typical and so on. Niko is doing a formidable job at explaining!

      +Chinomso Okafor If you download windows and have not entered a key (or purchased it for that matter) it puts a watermark in the bottom right corner which says activate windows 10. In the video you can see this when he is recording the color coding part of the video on the computer.

    Btw +samandniko I know the core group of guys who've worked at Corridor since forever. But I wouldn't mind a video where you introduce all the girls/guys from across all your channels & maybe a little backstory, what they do, how they all joined originally. That'd be sick.
    Also maybe a separate video profiling each room/studio you guys work out of & what each area does. I'm constantly trying to figure out in which area you guys shoot out of & how they're all connected. Kinda like a refresher for the fans. Just a thought 😋

    I've seen and read a lot of how to's about grading and corrections... most, if not all urge us to do things the opposite way. First correct each shot to a common neutral and then apply the overall grade.
    The thing is. I've done things more or less unknowingly the "wrong" way around (grade a hero shot first then correct other shots, just like in this video)... but in this case. The wrong way seems to be just more intuitive. And you get to an even result quicker than in the traditional way.
