EXTRA VIDEO NOTE - POST UPLOAD
The macbeth chart should be using a lambert/ diffuse shader (ai or legacy), I forgot to change it later in the video! A surface shader is a pure flat albedo of the image which in this case, "could" be useful to see original pure colours and compare to a light interactive version of the chart (shaded).
