mixing color temperatures? (urgent)

[malcolm man]

My lighting setup is very minimal as of now.

I have two Lowel T1-10 Halogen lights and basically a bunch of garage lights.

These produce a 3200k light.

My boss is down buying some equipment down in San Fran. He just called me and said that he bought some Pro Master lights. Cool Light 10? I looked them up and they look like they just had normal energy efficient light bulbs.

Aside from that, they throw a 5000K light. Mixing color temps is a "no, no" right?

Please give me some imput before he leaves the store!

Yes, its a no no, unless you want the effect you can get. But it involves white balancing to one of the other color temp while the opposite one is off and then turning on the opposite one afterwards. Otherwise, you match all of the color temps as closely as possible to your primary light sources which it sounds like are in the 3200K range.

here are a few effects we shot this last weekend mixing color temps .

this one was a tungsten lamp with a straw gel on it

here is one with daylight on tungsten shot.

and here are some with a mix

i know.. my costume rocks

all that to say, i guess it depends on what your going for.

Good stuff. Your posts with screen grabs on this subject are ones I can point back to when someone asks about this and they need to see the effect. Just explaining isn't enough sometimes.

Was it balanced to thungsten or daylight in your mixing shot?
