mailesan Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Hi. I will be shooting something very soon and I'm trying to create the orange and teal look - orange for characters and teal for the background. any kind of advice on the filter on the light, color balance in camera and or anything that can help me. I have attached some reference. Thank you :) https://imgur.com/Q5dcGZg https://imgur.com/mECAiYm https://imgur.com/HHap0tJ https://imgur.com/LpNpM77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Field Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Could be camera set at 3200k with a big tungsten source positioned relatively close to the screen left side for the soft light. Maybe a 1/4 CTO is slapped on that for the "orange", but to be honest it doesn't look all that orange to me. Then a medium blue-green (or CTB) gelled scratch light coming in from the right. Maybe a 5600k ambient light for the background? And they're scratch lighting the machinery and roof with streaks of jade gelled light. The fluorescent practicals in the back could be a variety of color temperatures, in Resolve they'd be de-saturating the highlights so color temp of them matters less. The lack of punchy saturation in the skin tones might also suggest this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Santucci Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I think "orange and teal" is more about production design & post filtering than anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting trendy though. It was good in Guardians of the Galaxy, but Shape of Water took it to a new level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Field Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I talked to a professional colorist who said orange and teal is easily the most overused color palette in digital cinema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Csehak Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 To be fair, it does look nice https://www.google.com/search?biw=1370&bih=780&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=nUk2W9nJEJLW5gKC_q6ACg&q=orange+and+blue+movie+posters&oq=orange+&gs_l=img.3.0.0i67k1l10.51536.54557.0.55819.13.8.3.2.2.0.194.781.6j2.8.0....0...1c.1.64.img..0.13.796...0.0.KONkJL4QGhc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted June 29, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted June 29, 2018 It's getting trendy though. It was already trendy in 2010 when this article railing against the blue and teal uniformity of Blockbusters was written: http://theabyssgazes.blogspot.com/2010/03/teal-and-orange-hollywood-please-stop.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
