Hi Loki
The RED in the young mans jacket is off the charts. What was the Gamma set at?
Also, the light seems really hot on the actors (Not the board).

I'd lose the red jacket, well known trouble colour.
And the lighting is a little hot.

I assume the excerise calls for 1 Light? Is that correct? Move it back!

Re: Grabs from Studio Shoot
for the issues raised:
Unfortunately for continuity reasons I had to have that guy wear the red shirt... though if I had known before when I shot my master... I would never have allowed it.. red is evil.. especially under the lighting I wanted.
no this is not a single light exercise. It is merely the look I wanted. the single light is only used in 2 shots.
Intentionally lit? I guess you'd have to know the context of the scene to know why it is lit like that.. but I see what you mean.. but on the other hand we crafted that particular look on purpose so it isn't just thrown together for no reason
As for gamma... I didn't check.. but I do believe it is set to Normal... and as for appearing to "hot" on the actors... I had no zebra's at all when adjusting my exposure, so I dunno what you mean, you me they look fairly well lit... but I am no pro...yet...
I was going for a hard light with hard shadows look.
thanks for the input. I hope this sheds more light on the situation(Pun intended).

Re: Grabs from Studio Shoot
Is 'blocky red' an NTSC issue (I know how fussy NTSC is with 'safe colours') or does PAL suffer in the same way?
There's an old (snobbish) saying in at the BBC; "NTSC stands for Never The Same Colour twice!" Okay, the 'twice' bit doesn't fit, but you get the idea!

Re: Grabs from Studio Shoot
@andyj: this red color distortion is a pal issue, too. but as i experienced it is also a matter of chromatic contrast.
if you shot a red rose in front of a green meadow you get very "big red blocks", i tried severeal times but i never get it managed.
if you shot a red object with some reddish or similar background the effect seems to be less striking.
howerver, is there any plugin that does chroma bluring in avid xpress pro or ae?

Re: Grabs from Studio Shoot
Besides:
1) removing the Jacket and (2) Vegas Chroma blur "to the rescue"
What is the best way to deal with Loki's RED color situation using the camera settings? What about other programs like FCP or Premiere Pro?
