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… Read More
New Studio Setup
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. 🙂

Sony a7 III: Model Thuỳ Dương
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… Read More

I’ve gotten lots of requests to see more footage shot with the Veydras, so I’ll do my best to include those… Read More
Leica DG Summilux 12mm f/1.4 Wide Open!
In my previous post, I talked a little bit about why fast primes are preferable to slow kit zooms for vlogging, one of the chief advantages being the ability to play with depth-of-field. In my first tests of the Leica DG Summilux 12mm f/1.4, I was sitting a little further away from the camera and… Read More
Traveling Light
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,… Read More
