Master White Balance for Video

White Balance is one of the essential settings in video production and something you don't wanna get wrong.

So in this class you will learn:

What exactly is white balance?
Accurate colors vs. pleasing colors
How white balance works with different light color temperatures
How to achieve perfect white balance on set (3 ways!)
How to correct white balance in post-production when things got messy

In short, you just learn all you really need to make good looking videos and know a little bit about WHY it works and looks good.
