Does anyone here knows what kind of lenses I can use on my hvx that would enhance the image color?

I've heard about lenses that are a little bit more warm than others and so on....I'm going for a Royal tenenbaum, Rushmore look. I know lighitng and production desing is very important but would a lens choice help too?

canons are warmer, with s subtle green tint. Nikons are neutral, maybe a touch cool. but ingeneral it s a VERY subtle effect.

Filtration and Post color correction and Film stock is how yo uget thoes looks. if yo uwant warm, White balance on a light pastel blue piece of construction paper.
 
These are awesome:

Warm Cards

Much easier than finding a colored lens and attaching it to your camera (in fact, I've never heard of a color lens besides an ND one).
 
There was hex color codes posted a while back, i took those and printed them with my photoprinter and got them laminated. so for $5 i have warm cards.
 
Also what you can do is if you have access to a wax printer (they print really great color), then you can experiment with all sorts of colors to white balance your camera on, like green, purple, blue, orange, I did this a while back and if you keep the color really light, like a light blue, or a light red, or a light green, whatever, that color becomes white, and offsets the other colors. It's a pretty good tool, but don't expect to be able to color correct (well) if you're not shooting in HD.
