Ramzey Sabbagh Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hi there, I am going to be shooting a music video using ultra violet lighting as well as standard strobe lighting. I wanted to know if anyone has used certain uv lights before or is there a way to shooting using tungsten lights with something like the Congo blue gel. This gel takes out a lot of light so i was wondering how i could match a 2 or 4k using this gel. Also is it easy to mix the to types of lights or are there any major problems I could run into? Examples of other work attempting this would be grab too. Thanks Ramzey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted November 25, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted November 25, 2015 Congo Blue gel can be used as a "fake UV blacklight" super-blue look for close-ups but you won't get any true UV effect, you have to use UV lamps for that. The Congo Blue does cut out a lot of light, but on the other hand, you'd probably want to underexpose the faces to keep that deep blue look.
