I don't consider myself to be a novice, but I like CL workshops. OK, I may know 90% of that stuff but there's always 10 % that I did't think of or made it in a different way. I wouldn't pay for the workshop, but I enjoy watching it live.

I always tune into these, hey, can't hurt to peer into how someone else does it. They seem pretty good at what they do, so it should be an interesting watch this weekend.
I'm not a fanboy, but the J* has nothing on the Gray's. They may be teaching very simple concepts directed at novices, but that reflects nothing on their knowledge of the craft.

yeah, I read that...put that idea to rest pretty easily
I watched some of it earlier and the thing that had me the most curious was that expodisk thing. I've heard of it but I've never seen anyone use it...setting and resetting a custom white balance all day long? I am a fan of custom white balance to save time I'm post and get it right in camera but it seems like that thing would get old real quick. Anyone here use one and have more insight? Just curious. Its always interesting to me to see what other people do and I'm always open to learning a new thing .

He seems pretty into doing everything to minimise post work even to the point of continuing to shoot if the exposure is slightly off to be consistent and I guess the expodisk gets you an incident reading and custom WB in one. During a wedding day I'd prefer to not have to mess with that thing and just get my shots, it's pretty quick to set WB later in post and batch apply it and I'd rather do that when the pressure/time constraints are not there. Additionally in mixed lighting the WB is going to change each time you move closer/further away from a light source.

jasmine star is a better photographer than the grays.
