Re: Lighting for video.


If I'm designing lighting for video (which over half the time is also mine) I avoid any saturated colors downstage. This is really a very common technique, even for the most widely-broadcast events. Spots are color temp matched if necessary. Cameras are much more sensitive to color saturation than the human eye is, so you are better off staying away from those downstage. Magenta is a particular problem, even for the best cameras. Color upstage is ok, but even there you might consider slighting paler color choices.


The other incidents are just stupid vidiot crap, but I've gotten accustomed to that and are prepared to hold their hands as necessary.
