Ooooh the white balance tip was solid! The last wedding I did had so many different lighting situations soo I’ll definitely be keeping that in mind 😮‍💨👌🏾

[@WaywardNorth]

It can be soooo challenging navigating mixed lighting conditions. I certainly never get it perfect every time. But these tips have helped me!

[@davidwefers]

Mist Filters are clutch. :)

[@WaywardNorth]

You know it!!

[@HighOnDimzy]

Could you do a video on advanced tips as well?

[@WaywardNorth]

Coming right up 💪

[@tommcclave3515]

Do you find that auto iso is helpful at times or do you prefer to manually set it? I’m shooting on the a7iv in slog 3 so I’ve thought about trying to set my base and max to 800-3200. Maybe this is a compromise without having cine ei? Thanks!

[@benjamin.kelley]

A lot of Canon cameras don't give a reading when on Auto White balance (Canon R6, R6ii, R5, and all older Canon cameras that are the cinema line).

[@WaywardNorth]

True gotta use the old eyeball approach or a light meter would do the trick!

[@sheastlouis]

Do you adjust any settings IN CAMERA when shooting in either slog or s cine? For Example, adjusting contrast, sharpness , etc.

[@WaywardNorth]

No color adjustments when filming in S-Log or S-Cinetone. I film with the default settings for both profiles.

[@marvinfilm04]

It really helpful

[@WaywardNorth]

Glad this video was helpful in some way!

[@VietHuynh]

I just looked in your description for your gear list and think I’m going to give the amaran 60x s a chance ! Do you use any sort of diffusion with it ? Or do you just use it as it comes ? :)

[@WaywardNorth]

I just use it as it comes! Great lights for wedding receptions

[@VietHuynh]

@@WaywardNorthah perfect ! Thank you for replying so quickly! Yeah I’ve been meaning to upgrade my current lighting setup, sometimes I feel like it’s still kinda dark with the ones I use haha. Do you just run 2 of them?

[@WaywardNorth]

Of course!@@VietHuynh Yeah I run two of the Amarans and then I have a new light from Zhiyun ive been testing. But two lights are plenty for reception!

[@VietHuynh]

@@WaywardNorth How are you liking the Zhiyun one so far compared to the Amaran??

[@WaywardNorth]

@@VietHuynh it’s great! The battery isn’t as good but the brightness is insane

[@varunsabari4250]

Forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't the 60fps footage @ 4:50 looks choppy without slowing down in the post?

[@WaywardNorth]

In this case I will agree it is a bit more choppy due to the lack of ND filter, high shutter, and handheld movement. Not so much 60 fps but all those factors combined

[@varunsabari4250]

@@WaywardNorth but 60fps in 24fps timeline must be slowed down by 40% or else the frames gets skipped resulting in choppy footage or two things can be true at the same time (high shutter speed). Gerald undone has done a great video on fps, you should check it out.

[@WaywardNorth]

@@varunsabari4250 Love Gerald’s work but the filmmaking process is subjective. What works for one, doesn’t always work for another, filming in 60 is a choice. Exposing with your Shutter is a choice. I don’t want ALL moments slowed down in my edit but picking and choosing between 24 and 60 throughout a chaotic wedding is also not ideal. So this process works for me.
