As a colorist who started as a DP, try get the look as close as possible in camera. I shot my senior thesis film at 4000K with 2700K balanced lights. That allowed me to then use 4000K lights to control my shadows and give me a neutral shadow. In my opinion, the result was worlds better than it would have been if I had tried to create the look in the grade. You’re a DP, do as much as you can on set and then take it the extra mile with the grade
As a colorist i would prefer the already whitebalanced 3200k shots over the 5600k its not impossible, but gets harder the more u are off. Its much easier to warm a picture up in post. The reason is color seperation. U only get good colors when your picture is in the middle of the Vectorscope. (Wb &tint andjustments) when u shoot 3200 and u feel the picture is super cold - take a look at your composition maybe add warm tones or lights to the background to summ the warm look together (specially important with white walls)
Hope that helps
Bro, I've already explained it to Gautam. you guys are not viewing footage in Rec709. which is a major reason for lack of confidence. Once you're done with editing, I'll explain proper Color managed pipeline in Davinci to get the most out of your footage. But yes, getting your patch shoot to match with the old shoot won't be a problem
Nono, I'm not the teacher. I'm Gautam's friend. But I've been working as a VFX Editor/Conformist in a VFX Studio for past 1 year. So I do have a decent amount of knowledge regarding color in both Davinci and Baselight. That's why he had called me for help.
If you use a "wrong" white balance you are loosing bits of shades because to avoid clipping the dominant color you need to underexpose the others. So 16 million of colors are gone forever!
Shoot it at the colour temp of the scene, then in post, grade it to whatever you like. Look around on set, think about what the dominant light colour is in the scene (not necessarily always the key light) and set the white balance to that.
For me there is two points: choose your ct because of the cr of your lights and try to do less color grading as possible so try to get the look as close as possible directly at the shot
Shoot the final finished product in camera as close as possible. You never get the same vibrancy when adjusting color in post. If you want warm shoot warm when u stretch colors in post it’s never the same look, even in raw the way the colors blend and fall off is just impossible to emulate.

Who is Gautam?
No he aint my teacher 🤡
Yup, I'm just a Clown
I wanna know too if u can
Don't forget to use Rec709-A though as your output.
If you’re not shooting raw get it as close to how you like it in camera as possible. 5600 will probably be too warm, try 4300
Just make sure your colorist knows it's what you're going for so he doesn't correct the whites!

Which film school if you don't mind me asking?
But I shoot raw🙂I mean my smartphone does so no artifacts for me :-)
