Hi-
I was shooting a band performance in bar last night and unfortunately the only house lights were blue and red. I couldn't get an accurate white balance because there was no white light. If I balanced in the red light I got the blues looking superblue, if I balanced in the blue light then the reds looked superred.
I think the video turned out OK because depending on who I was focusing on I would use the A and B white balance switch which had each one balanced for the certain color temperature. But I also ended up with some really weird shots where the people in the same shot are very different colors or super saturated.
Any ideas. I couldn't think of a way that I could effectively "split the difference." I guess I could have taken a white balance of a white card with a flash light or something.
Thanks
