Bastard amber and 1/4 CTO, on a tungsten...... worked a treat. James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Brereton Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Bastard amber and 1/4 CTO, on a tungsten...... worked a treat. This is a gel pack for a Sodium Vapour look, not Mercury. For a Mercury Vapour look on tungsten, you could try 3/4 Plus Green & Rosco Cal Colour 30 Blue. This is the combination used by Paul Cameron.

James Brown Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 This is a gel pack for a Sodium Vapour look, not Mercury. I always seem to get the two mixed up.. Sorry about that, James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cameron Speaks Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 How about HMI's? just the green? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted November 26, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted November 26, 2005 Sometimes just to keep things simple, I put Full Plus Green on an HMI for a mercury vapor look, although it probably would be more like 3/4 Plus Green and 1/4 CTO to be more accurate. But there is some variation out there in mercury vapor fixtures; some are greener than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
