Master ped

yeh i used 8 ball settings...however i also switched my scene file wheel to all the other settings i have and it was similar.

What is particularly interesting/frustratiing is the fact that it only affects some fabrics. I had 2 black shirts in the same shot ...one exibited discolouration and the otther was fine. So i guess it affects only some fabrics...while the plastic elements and leather stuff remained black. These tests were not recorded like the one i showed...i was just doing it.

Ok now that's very wierd...i wonder why there are no threads about this...just did a search!!!!
 
yeh thats why i rule out my camera at fault...so maybe these gels are wack. i duno. or maybe SOMEhow i'm doing somethng wrong.
 
Fabrics can have materials in them, either from washing detergents or special coatings or materials that cause them to flouresce or glow. This is to make whites appear whiter, but it can also cause other colors and black to react strangely under different kinds of lights.

What I didn't understand from your video was why you were gelling your lights at all? If you have a tungsten light, what is wrong with simply manually white balancing to them, or using the tungsten preset?

The 8ball scene settings use the CINELIKE MATRIXas well as raising the color saturation, which could be doing strange things to the colors. Try the NORMAL MATRIX and CHROMA LEVEL is negative values, and you'll probably get more natural results.
 
hey Josh,
I was gelling the lights just as tests cuz i;ve never used gels b4...i;ve just studied online about them. I'm trying to better my cinematography, so i was testing how the different gels change the lighting regarding colour correction(cuz i wanna see how best to mix lighting) and effects. I then happened to see these strange things happening and remember thome's video :) So it wasn't really on purpose.
