I'm much happier with my little arrangement now (save for the audio, which I goofed up!). To my right, I've got the Lishuai LED 100WB-56 and to the left is the Lishuai C-700RSV. Throwing a touch of color on the wall behind me is a Yongnuo YN216 with blue filter. I've still got to find... Continue Reading →
Free Must-Have Tasty LUTs and Prism Bokeh Overlays
Here are a few of the 35 free LUTs available from RocketStock, along with some of their bokeh effects. I strongly recommended using Paul Leeming's corrective/conversion LUTs and doing color correction as well as secondary correction for skin tones prior to adding creative LUTs. https://youtu.be/QcDxWxVGvH0
RocketStock LUT Pack
A freaking awesome deal! 35 creative LUTs from RocketStock absolutely free. https://youtu.be/Y7ae6jjWQSc
RocketStock Video Assets and LUTs
The intro reel was shot using the G85, GH5 and a7 III and footage was graded with Leeming LUT Pro and RocketStock LUTs. Had a lot of fun with the Volumetric and Dust overlays from RocketStock. https://youtu.be/v20zZkXGbNE

Update
It's that time of year when lots of us reflect on what we've done and hope to accomplish in the following year. First, I'll be uploading a video about what it's like trying to purchase equipment in Vietnam, as well as my experiences dealing with customer service over the years, from Sony, Edelkrone and a...

Is An I/O Interface Really Necessary?
Update 23.01.2020: I have confirmed that the Asus PA32UCX, UltraStudio 4K Mini and Final Cut Pro do indeed work with HDR PQ. The reason to use a dedicated IO card (like the UltraStudio 4K) is that it gives you a properly managed colour pipeline that by-passes the operating system’s GPU and colour profile settings and gets...

Preordered the Asus ProArt 32UCX-K!
A popular online website that reviews and compares computer hardware says the Asus has virtually no flaws of consequence, but we'll get to that in just a moment. Not sure whether I wouldn't be better off getting the PA32UC instead, but I went ahead and preordered the PA32UCX-K anyhow. The PAUCX-K boasts 1,200 nits compared... Continue Reading →
The upcoming Apple XDR has 1,600 nits brightness, but only the 2019 Mac Pro can display the full 6K resolution; the panel has just 576 zones of local dimming compared to Asus's 1,152; and it will cost upwards of $6,000 including stand: nearly double what I was quoted for the PA32UCX-K here in Vietnam. I'm... Continue Reading →
Affordable HDR Grading Monitors Come of Age
Only a year and-a-half ago, I despaired of ever being able to color correct and grade HDR video because the least expensive grading monitors started at $35,000. I gave my Shogun Inferno a whirl, but it's absurd trying to grade footage on a 7" display - and I never could get it to display the... Continue Reading →
Response to Viewer
A viewer of my YouTube channel commented on the flat lighting of my last video, so I'm uploading another one with a bit more punch. https://youtu.be/ZjAJczRec78
Loving the Shogun Inferno
I'd initially purchased the Inferno to shoot and edit HLG HDR video but when I ran into problems using it as an HDR grading monitor (not to mention how heavy the contraption is out in the field) it got stored away in the closet for the longest time. YouTubers Caleb Pike and Gerald Undone reawakened... Continue Reading →
