advaith kumar Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) im shooting on 16mm film and i need to shoot day sequences which require warm and cool tones. im using 500T stock ,so after balancing with 85 filter for day light...how should i give warm and cool tones ? if i use tungsten sources or if i put up CTO on hmi's ....then will this give me that desired warm look ?? and by not using correction for daylight, i will get cool look,but am wondering if it will add too much blue . suggest me about this ...

Tebbe Schoeningh Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 the are hundreds of ways to give your image a certain color. you could use 1/2 ctb´s on your tungsten lights to get a warmer look or 1/2 cto´s on your hmis, you can use filters (something like coral, check the tiffen page to see which filters are available) or you can go for color correction in postproduction...

John-Erling Holmenes Fredriksen Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 On 500T with 85, I would use plain uncorrected tungsten sources for warm tones, and put at least 1/2 CTB on daylight sources if they need to be cooler than white. Use your eyes and make judgement on color, if uncorrected tungsten is too warm for you, put 1/2 CTB on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
