White Balancing is a very simple process that you should do every time you film any video, you should do it every time you change location, turn a light on, or move the camera to face a different direction. It is one of the most important fundamental rituals that you should perform when getting ready to film and yet not every one even knows about it!

If you are having trouble with your videos looking red, green, blue or some other colour taking precedence and adding some kind of hue to the video then white balance is for you! it’s not always going to make everything perfect if you have really bad lighting but it will make a lot of your videos seem a lot more professional.
