Rick_Pearson Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Hi everyone, I have an upcoming RED shoot in a hospital in which the hallway ceiling fixtures have a green spike and are T9 tubes. The local rental house can supply some T9 fixtures that may only help with the green issue in the slightest degree. Our shooting situation includes looking down the hallway with some of the doors along the hallway being dark while others will have tungsten or CTO'd daylight sources spilling out of them. I'll also be in a Patient's-room that I want to take towards a rather blue look, but the green spiked hallway will be in the background of the shot Can I gel all of the other fixtures with a 1/2 or 1/4 green for the purpose of white balancing in that condition to cancel the green out. Is this an acceptable method, or is this going about solving the problem the wrong way. When it all boils down I just want to eliminate the green from the hallway's flouro tubes when used along side my daylight and tungsten sources. It's looking more and more like replacing the entire hallway's fixtures isn't going to happen for us. I could really benefit from your thoughts and expertise, and it would be most appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Dubrovskiy Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Could white-balancing to the available tubes in the hallway, and then lighting everything from there help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Whiteside Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Yes, that should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
