Too Orange

[Pariahgrinch]

Shot some interviews that came out too warm, very orange, any suggestions on how to correct this?

In your editing platform, use a color correction program or plugin. In order to remove orange, you need to add its compliment: blue / cyan.

Add blue / cyan to the mid-tones and/or highlights. In order to keep it as clean as possible, avoid color correcting in the shadows, unless you really know what you are doing.

So it's a chroma thing or a hue thing?

Its a color temp thing.

If your NLE has 'White Balance' in the CC plugin and if you have some white element in the scene it maybe easy to correct by using the eyedropper/selector.

Thanks for that I was just talking to an editor here at the station and she said the exact same thing. Thanks guys

Did you do a manual white balance when you shot? If so, how?
