  1. White balance is better than it used to be but Alex is still a little blue. Very interesting video on all this UAS stuff

  2. @Mongrel214  Just saying that for a long time the white balance on these sandboxx videos has been very blue. Recently it seems to be less blue, but still not quite right. A number of things could cause a camera to record with a color bias one way or another. In this case, one possibility is that the set is lit with incandescent lights (regular light bulbs). These are normally very yellow, like around 2800° Kelvin and would make the whole scene yellow. If the camera is set for automatic color balance it would try to compensate and shift the balance towards blue. Some things would appear close to neutral and other things would appear pretty blue. Another possibility is mixed lighting. There might be artificial lights on set but an open window letting daylight mix in. The areas with the daylight will be much bluer than most artificial lighting (except flash). My studio strobes have modeling lights built-in which are calibrated to 3200k. The modeling lights can be used to shoot with if you adjust the camera color balance for 3200. When using the strobes in flash mode the modeling lights are automatically switched off as the flash fires so that the lighting color is not mixed. Something similar can happen with auto exposure. If you take a picture of something that's mostly all black the camera will likely try to compensate and make everything lighter, because it doesn't know that the picture is supposed to be all black. Snow scenes often come out gray, because again, the camera compensated not knowing that it was supposed to be a mostly all white photo.
