Schaschwin Schoenauer Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Hey guys, So, I was wondering if you can achieve the teal and orange look by mixing the light temperature (3200k and 5000k) or do all of the color temperature have to be the same and you tweak it in post production (editing). Or can you do either? What is the best option? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted January 18, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted January 18, 2021 You need to mix color temperatures in the frame — basically it’s warm and cold lighting but then in post the blue is shifted to the cyan. If you can use cyan lighting, mixed with orange, even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael LaVoie Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 To tweak in postproduction and apply that common teal orange look of blockbuster movies you're referring to, this software package offers finishing LUT's. The M31 is the one that gives the look you're after. Just keep in mind that less is more. You can apply this to an adjustment layer and only use it at 60% or so. Usually that's more than enough.
