Great video you did a vary good job on you annunciation; Although I really think you should have mentioned that people need to adjust their white balance if using florescent light blubs. I don't mean to nit pick but seemed like something that a lot of the people going to this video would not know.

[rstephensonable]

@TrippingBowser Thank you and that's good stuff to know! I don't have the capability on my camera and am not to up to speed on any post adjustments that would help. I admit to being a noob when it comes to light/color correction, etc. Any sources or places you could point us?

[TrippingBowser]

@rstephensonable Well I actually do not have video experience; What I know is purely on the still photography side. Although the principles are are essentially the same. The best way to make sure you have the right white balance is if you have a camera or camcorder with white balance adjustment settings incorporated. A lot of cameras will have custom white balance options as well as presets for specific lighting situations like florescent. I'll continue with another comment

[TrippingBowser]

@rstephensonable On the other side if you can't adjust the white balance on your camera or camcorder you will have to do this in post with editing software, Now as far as what to do on the software side there is no universal tutorial or settings. The best thing would be to search for color correction settings for the software and the light source you're using. Since most editing software do no have preset WBalance correction settings having a camera with WB settings is nice!

@TrippingBowser Ahh this is good information. One day I'll have the equipment to make these kinds of adjustments - for now I'll just have to poke around in the software for what looks right. I think my eyes are a little off sometimes so I'll have to hone my "looking" skills, too. It sounds like it's one of those skills that just comes with experience... so here's to the learning process and thank you for helping! :)
