Today was even more coloring research. Watched more tutorials, watched videos on how to grade music videos (those guys are amazing lmao). Anyway this is what I arrived with for this video - I think the limiting factor for me right now more than anything is lighting and the colors in my room. The blue lights on the synth are super bright and blue so I had to isolate that and pull it back. The "Hi" on my screen was yellow because i filmed with Flux on a different temperature than my lights (love flux btw, def use it if you wanna save your eyes and not stay up too late from blue light, https://justgetflux.com/ )

My red shirt was too red and stuck out too much so I had to isolate that and pull the color back, etc etc. A million steps later and I think I'm ok with it. 

I think I underestimated how important it is to have the right colors in the frame. I'm gonna try to change what I wear, what's in the background and how I light things so things will be easier. For example, I'm way too pale to be in front of such a brightly lit white wall lol.

And yes, I must admit, I did stay up until 3AM last night and watched the tutorial. This turned into one of those few days where I learn SO MUCH but I'm overworking like crazy because I'm so into it lol. Usually happens with music but I like cameras and videos so much too. I enjoy my job hehe.

Wisdom teeth wise I'm doing ok, but I really hope it'll stop hurting soon/heal because I'm dying for some crispy air fryer meals omggggg.

Have a great night guys :)

Hey! Nice to know you're having fun!!! Abracito.

Lianne Conroy

Have fun with it. Do some videos with really weird colors. Good luck getting to eat your air fried food. And do not stay up too late

Mari

Do you understand colour theory at all? That could help with the colour gradation stuff. I'm good at it in PS but wonder if it translates to your film editing program the same way.. lmfao I knew you stayed up! 😂

Misty Gerkman

Glad you are enjoying messing around with stuff 🙂 the Patreon is set to the same sound as my texts and scarea me every time it goes off 😁

Roomie

I know bits and pieces, had to learn about complimentary colors etc for this. I'm probably gonna try to take my studio a bit more towards the colour coupling of teal & orange (and buy some teal clothes lol)

Dorie

Makes you really appreciate what cinematographers do to gives movies the look and feel that they have. Glad it was a fun and productive day for you.

Roomie

yes! They're MONSTERS. Makes me realize how much better I am at music than video lol

Becky Lorion

Glad to hear you’re so into what you’re creating! Can’t wait to see it all finished.

Mari

I accidentally closed the app and lost my whole ass reply getting nerdy about colour 🙃🫠😭 I will add this though, time to dust off the fancy jacket everyone get triggered by 🙈

Mari

Also you know the orange light filter for your screen flux gives, is built into the Windows OS right? lololol

Airyckah Lane

It’s nice to see you in color for filming instead of black too though! Isn’t light and color theory fun? Definitely try playing around with your lighting colors. That’ll be the biggest help in how much editing work you’ll need to do for color correction!

Hayley

Omg, does this mean we'll be seeing more or less of the grey/black/white T-Shirt rotation? 😂 Seriously though, you're baffling my head with all this tech talk but glad you're enjoying it. Hope your wisdom teeth heal up soon. You HAVE to make a 'reaction' video of you eating your first solid meal 😂😂

Mari

I used to have it on my Mac 10+ years ago but don't remember it being that superior hmmmmm 🤔

Magalie Leplus

I love red. Btw, it's nice to hear you're enjoying what you're doing. Can't wait to see the result 👏👏👏

Interesting girl fact...My knowledge of colour theory started at 12 based on hair dye and the cause and effect principle of bad judgement! Obviously I've grown up now and as much as I love graphic design and art I still enjoy using myself as the palette! I always wondered why in the UK the colours you chose made your hair red and your face really pale, did you forget to change the settings after the tanning incident?? Anyway go to bed young man, those wisdom teeth sockets won't heal without beauty sleep 😴 🐼xx

JustSomeJK

It's fun when getting so into what one is doing that one looses the track of time! I'm happy that for you it's your work 🙂 I don't know about u, but I get hangoverish feeling after staying up until 3-4 am nowadays 🤪 But I guess staying up late was worth it since the colors look good 😊 I have heard so much positive comments about air fryers, that one day I must get one too! But yeah hopefully your wisdom teeth holes stops bothering u soon so that u get to chew ur food. Godnatt 😊

Melinda Young

Staying up late was worth it. Looks so much better. Hopefully your mouth feels better soon.

Jessi

Lol I remember getting to that point after having my wisdom teeth out. I just said eff this and tried to eat a slice of cheese pizza. Took well over an hour but was so worth it lol. Hopefully recovery is going well!

emy

Lol I just got a flashback to being so out of it on painkillers that I started eating the bag of frozen peas they gave me as a cold compress. I was like ooh, a snack 🍽️ 😂

emy

It’s intimidating to think about all the work/skills that go into any single part of what you do. I heard someone say recently that the difference between people who are naturally good at techy stuff vs those who aren’t is simply that the people who are good at it have the confidence and patience to know that whatever problems they run into, they’ll figure it out. It’s motivating seeing you work, setting up these big challenges for yourself and then just solving them. So cool, and it looks great! 😎

Shauna

These colors are pretty! I’m glad you’re so into it but SLEEP. 😂 Air fryer meals sound so good.

loonylovesgood

First smoothies, now air fryer meals, I really need to stop reading these posts when I’m hungry, dammit. Exciting to see how everything is progressing. Don’t work too hard! Spring is here, go out and smell the…palm trees? Whatever they have in LA. 😄

MediocreAtBest

Glad you're having fun tinkering with stuff! Can't lie when I check notifs in the morning and see the time you posted I'm a bit like "omg go to bed" ha. Maybe step up to some mashed taters or mac n cheese before dusting off that airfyer. Maybe pick up some tiny string lights for the fake fiddle leaf figs too c:

Cas

I'm loving the daily updates and am glad you are so into the improvements. Enjoy the journey.

Dannielle O'Neill

Thanks for taking time to share what you're up to. Hope you slept in a little. Take this opportunity to treat yourself to some of that vegan Ben and Jerry's or something! It will feel nice!

Helga 🦊

You look great in red 😄 I understand why you stayed up till 3 am watching tutorials because I would do the same 😅If I’m really into something, nothing will stop me from learning/improving/checking (even 6.30 am alarm clock 🫣). Also it’s nice to have all these updates 😌

Bookdragon 43

When I had my wisdom teeth out, I ate a lot of mac and cheese, ice cream, yogurt and jello. Thanks for the updates!! So awesome that you are learning so much, can't wait to see the finished video!!😊💖

Adina

First you’re making smoothies, than you talk about air frying stuff…the Uber Eats app will miss you soon. Hope you find time to still look into these things when you get back to your regular routine, because it sounds like you are having fun with it.
