We care about color. We've white balanced using the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport Video. We've calibrated our display with Calman Home for LG. We've aligned the color chips on the vectorscope with hue vs. hue. We've begun working in DCI-P3. So what's next? ☺️ Have a look at the white balance in the two RGB parade... Continue Reading →
https://youtu.be/_S7pMM54IJE This is only the second video graded using the LG OLED C7. I talk about the lighting arrangement, the digital audio recorder I'll be using until I can find a decent microphone and the new curtains in my room. 🙂
A screen grab from my latest shoot with a quick color correction in post. It was around a quarter to six in the evening, the sun had already set, and I wanted to accentuate the blue in the sky, so I set the Lishuai bi-color LED to 3200 Kelvin. In order to remain outside the... Continue Reading →

I've gotten lots of requests to see more footage shot with the Veydras, so I'll do my best to include those... Continue Reading →

In my first tests of the Leica DG Summilux 12mm f/1.4, I was sitting a little further away from the camera and... Continue Reading →
Pun intended! So I just bought my very first video lights: a Lishuai LED 100WB-56 and Godox Softbox for vlogging, a Lishuai 700RSV and Yongnuo YN216 for location shoots; and I'll be going to shoot a model in the park later this afternoon. I'll be bringing along the G85 and three lenses: the Leica 42.5 f/1.2,... Continue Reading →
After some five or more years of shooting street life here and in South Korea, I'm getting burned out. I made the decision to start concentrating on doing short narrative films, vlogging and maybe even some fashion shoots instead. But in order to do that, I'll need some nice video lights.
