>they paused to repaint the entire set because talent looked sickly green. I hadn’t heard that! Great story. I heard something similar about a TV station where the talent looked deathly ill on

Art, this reminds me of the first Star Trek movie where the set for the Bridge of the Enterprise was painted pearlecent green and after viewing dailies they paused to repaint the entire set because

>Once you stare at skin and and beige backgrounds in the suite for days Skin against any background that’s somewhat close to flesh tone can be a nightmare. Years ago I shot a corporate

I suspect that this is just the usual incompetence on the BMD's side. I have here an unlucky 4K6 URSA, that has somehow forgot its serial number and sensor calibration (either the

Late on this response, but the big downside to the aftermarket olpf for the Ursa Mini is that it will void the warranty and BMD will not service the camera. They’ve confirmed this on their official

Totally, I would absolutely have loved to have had a darker skin tone option as well. Sadly, as I’m sure Geoff will attest, organising such tests involved a lot of work, time (and often money) and,

That’s an interesting point. On numerous occasions for color work I’ve referenced this site that catalogs the full range of skin tones for Pantone: https://humanae.tumblr.com/. It details the wide

Colin, thanks for posting the results of this test. It’s always interesting to see side by side camera comparisons, even though it’s impossible to control for all of the variables. I know you
