Hi Dan, thanks for your expertise on the subject. I'm a theatrical-background lighting guy, so dimming to me has always been an invaluable tool. However, I've been told over and over again by TV crews "You have to run them at full or else they are too amber."
I'm well aware of amber shift, and use it to my benefit in theatrical design, but it seems to be a real killer for video cameras. My company does a lot of video, and we always just white balance to the lighting with no problems. The TV crews seem to always have a problem, though.
What gives, and what's the solution besides having to put in different color correction every time you make an intensity adjustment?
I really should get some books on lighting for film and video. In the meantime, I'd appreciate any little snippets of wisdom you con offer.
