Ad_CPTT Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Hi all, My company does a lot of Dance Schools and these performances are regularly recorded for DVD sales. The videographer has approached me on several occasions raising the problem of Magenta from the LED units making the performers skin appear to glow on the recording. Has anyone experienced and more importantly worked out how to overcome this issue whilst still maintaining the show for the in house punters? Cheers in advance.

GaryNattrass Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 It could be that the camera does not have an infra red filter and red/magenta can be a problem at the best of times, if it is a pro camera it may be worth adjusting the camera profile settings or if it is a smaller camera investing in a filter to reduce the cast.

gyro_gearloose Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I'm by no means an expert on cameras, but I think the filter you'll need is a UV/IR cut filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave m Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I have had the same issue before, mainly with blue par's on a preset before the show and a red carpet that looked really weirdI think it's cheaper theatre LED's compared to posh TV ones that are an issue. It looked fine to the human eye but bloody awful on screen- luckily I found a way of avoiding those shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyld Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 A lot of LEDs look pretty awful on skin even to the eye, IR or not. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABlackmore Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 It's also worth mentioning that theatre LEDs are a different kettle of fish in terms of colour to those produced specifically for the film/tv production market. CRI is sufficient in most cases for theatre use, whereas TLCI is the preferred measurement of colour consistency and accuracy for broadcast use: http://www.gtc.org.uk/members-area/tlci-results.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
