I can't tell if it was a joke or not to upload a video about color science in 360p, but I laughed anyway. Thanks for the free info!

[@kevinbatts2804]

Probably the most complete breakdown of video color theory I've seen in a while.

[@MDA_01]

360p - but still very much appreciated and valued : ) Thank you!

[@TheOriginalJub]

I've been studying mechanical engineering for 15 years, and when the pandemic hit, I distracted myself from my PhD work with cameras and videography. Ever since, I've been longing for an explanation like this. I wish I had found this video three years ago. THANK YOU

[@Waelboud]

the first one ever to explain it that way BRAVO !

[@mansouralba1987]

Man this was dense , this video should be paid for

[@aegnogg7295]

This is one of the highest quality resources I've ever seen on color science. Thank you for this

[@emilyrooney1966]

Great video! Starting a Color Science PhD in the fall and as I am coming from a chemical engineering background, this video helped me to better understand some of the core concepts. Thanks!

[@temuerasamuel]

Mind blows on top of mind blows

[@chachadmv]

If I knew all of this back in 2009, my life will be in a different path. I'm continuing what I left back in 2009 which is photography and I am glad i found your video. very helpful! THANK YOU!

[@benmoulson]

I can't believe I just watched this for free.

[@Thultmark]

Absolutely brilliant and helpful. Many thanks.

[@dronimik]

That's awesome. Thank you for sharing this Knowledge with the world!

[@nonicknamenoname3450]

its just amazing, thank you so much for the information

[@skorp5677]

Amazing session! Thank you for your work!

[@thinkman2137]

Thank you for your work! It's a best course I've never seen before!

[@stefanocosimini]

Definitely the best video on this topic.

[@ctjanney]

a fantastic reference. Thank you. I'm sharing this with our entire studio.

[@anthonypace5354]

I cad my own colour interpolation algorithm years ago, and I thought two sided cones were how it would only logically be organized. Turns out rgb is organized into a cube, but if you stretch a point here and there it maps to hls. Knowing this seemingly trival thing would have helped, as I just implemented the HSL algorithm from wikipedia and would have loved to see the colour cube first. It makes sense now.

[@HandalE30]

This video is gold. Love it man, thank you!

[@hermandsamuel5261]

I love what you have done here it is so nice and so well condensed without vulgarasition thank you !!!!

[@Flo-con]

This was incredible, thanks so much for sharing this. I only wish it had been done so in better quality than 360p but as I understand it, this recording isn't recent (contemporary to Elysium's release)

[@Shalin.S.Shah.]

This is a groundbreaking and ridiculously amazing and educative video or tutorial I have ever seen and encountered in my lifetime watching youtube. This is incredible stuff. I do not understand why this channel only has around 10k subscribers and this video only has some 22.5k views. Maybe people are too busy using and pissing off on the luts by famous KZbinrs and do not actually understand the basics of it.

[@karthikeyansuganthi5118]

Exactly

[@vibrantsparks5655]

great presentation, thanks very much

[@stuartrogers6778]

Really great info, thank you!

[@omixmax6116]

Thanks For Sharing you knowledge in this simple pretty way

[@EverettRoeth]

Such an amazing video lecture. Thank you so much

[@RohitSharma-uy4nl]

awesome information, thankyou so much.

[@10gulf]

Such a valuable video!

[@luciano.3ccd]

this video its just great. really thank you

[@lawrenceanthony8187]

thanks!

[@milindsarwate1919]

Thanks for this information about colour correction 🌈

[@lucasammy]

omfg man amazing video! thanks

[@IsaacRC]

awesome

[@HenryOrtlip]

Fascinating stuff!... in 26:05 is this why when we watch the sports the lights in the stadium get black dots on the lights? the camera sensor is reading color in those black spaces outside of the color range?

[@esbo69]

what software do you use for cieLAB visualization?

[@ranjanjoshi3454]

Thanks very interesting insightful

[@johnjay370]

Actually a prizm camera would work like the human eye. At least for color. It would require 4 image sensors and a prizm that splits the light. Walt Disney made a film camera that did this so it should be easier to do so with digital cameras. The 4 sensors would be for the 3 colors RGB. Thay are the colors of light we blend in camera already. The 4th sensor is for light sensitivity and transparency. You would get more accurate color rendering and better quality light sensitivity. You would also have more control in post production.

[@hamidullah8422]

Assalam o alaikum sir g tell me about software which is divide RGB triangle into 7 or 9 or any approximate parts

[@msanand7]

Nice Video!! Thanks for sharing. Very informative. @4:11 It should be Blue Luminance (on the right handside) instead if Green Luminance. Correct me if I am worng.

[@nicksullivan329]

Hi - You mentioned the triangle 3 point colour system, and how there's no way to represent all the visible colours within the triangle. Isn't that how the ACES coluor space works?

[@davidluisfilms]

So what he explains is that you can't have 3 colour system that encompasses all visible colours using 3 visible colours. However you can actually define 3 imaginary colours (which don't exist because they are outside the visible spectrum) but that provide a useful geometrical representation because it is a wider triangle that encompasses the whole visible spectrum. Any colour outside the spectrum is imaginary but that doesn't mean we can't use those points as a trick to define other points

[@illuminator4633]

LOL No. This is not how colour works. This may be colour illusion science, but colour science it is not. However, jokes apart, absolutely superb video! Extremely well done! Best video on youtube on the topic seen so far. But we expect no less from Moviola, do we? ;->

[@greencoder1594]

The difference between theory and reality is, that in theory they are the same, while in reality they are different.

[@greencoder1594]

«We taked about how the eye sees color, understand very well how the cones work, ...but then there's this pesky thing called the brain~» xD

[@eliaslimapro]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@i-m-alien]

general explanation we need enhance tutorial

[@mostlymessingabout]

So no camera will ever be 100% ACES ... 😅

[@texasfossilguy]

Dear filmmakers in 2023 and beyond, please, for the love of God, STOP filming scenes entirely in darkness. Its annoying. People watch your films in broad daylight as often as a dark theatre. So please stop. Its not good. I see it all the time where films are way too dark In the Q and A, he says Luminance is one of the most important features, and I could not agree more. Stop filming pure black scenes. We cant see jack!

[@nereidndreu]

360p filmaking with this audio quality I wouldn't trust too much :/ I won't put a dislike maybe your the goat for it but cannot watch anymore 360 p after 2012

[@bestvideos4ever1]

Bunch of information, but no basic information !
