The Film Chronicles - White Balancing

Today's issue for the Film Chronicles is White Balancing. I have never really used it before I took the 476 class. It is like a new light has been turned on to make editing SO much easier!

I have never really taken the time to figure out the procedure for white balancing. As write this now, I shudder, thinking about all of the videos that were produced without proper white balance. Who would have guessed that the procedure would be as easy as a button and a piece of white paper. I think of the Debauchery Castle filming days where the same scene was shot over the course of five different days, with five slightly different shades of sunlight and shadows. What took hours of corrective editing could have been fixed with 15 seconds during production. "Fix it in Post"? No more for white balance. We'll fix it ahead of time. What a difference. How much time could we have saved in the past? I don't want to think about it.
