Post a grab of something you like, and then describe what it is you like about it and what parts of it you are trying to emulate.

Do you have a softbox for your arris?
 
One way to warm stuff up is to cheat your white balance. If you white balance on a cool color (like blue), the camera will shift the spectrum warmer.
 
I like tiffen's 812 warming filter, but still from his description, I'm not sure if warm, as we would think of as color temperature, is what he's after.
 
YOu can shift the balance internaly as well in the scene set up with colour shift and even croma. Or you can balance through various shades of blue gel on a while source. And if the glare is driving you crazy, as it does me, you can go to warmingcards.com. Lots of good ways to go about it.
 
i am a huge fan of the warmcards.com

it is a series of blue colors in various levels of how blue each card is and it has a green card for flourescents.

you can do the same with light colored paper from staples.

one tip is to contact the lee people, they make both filters and gels and if you email them and ask about their "cinematographers swatch book" they will as for you physical address and send you this snazzy bunch of samples of funky colored gels.

Hmm, I was wondering.... can we print our own warming cards? Theres a thought


finally I have something to do while Im rained in ona FREKAIN SATURDAY!

Peace niggas
 
very old idea.

goto google, there have been postings of how to print your own.

the real thing is very nice and well designed. they are laminated and have a white backside.

Why bother? it's easier, if you're using Avid to tweak the color using the color correction tool. then you can adjust very specifically and bend the color of the scenein each of the three ranges to your heart's content without screwing up the master shot.
 
You don't need to print your own warm cards. Just use the Color Temp menu setting in the scene files. It'll do the same thing, and it's free.
 
Does "color temp" shift the grey point, or does it just overlay color?
Edit: Nevermind, I answered my own question. Barry is right, as usual. "Color temp" adjusts the grey point.
