Scene setting question

Is there a way I can achieve a deep green tint to my picture, like the color temp adjusts from deep blue(+7) to deep red(-7). I cant seen to get my picture to be a deep green. Barry?
 
Look for a thread from two or three weeks ago, about white-balancing on colored surfaces, to get specific color shift in your footage.
 
If you have the DVX DVD then you can also get a "Matrix" look to your camera by adjusting the gamma settings. If you don't have the DVX DVD then I can get those gamma settings for you. If they aren't as extreme as you're looking for, then you may be able to go a little further.

I do have the dvd and that setting is a little too light on the green. spec-comm, tell me how I could go further with a deeper green.
 
Creative white balancing (against a purple card) would get you some serious green tint. There isn't a menu setting that will paint it very green; the only green boost you can get is through the chroma phase, and it's very, very subtle.
 
yeah, cheesesailor is right, a magenta card would give you more of a green color, however purple would also give a very interesting result.
