Default Re: Color Correction

You generally use color correction to match inside lighting to outside eg Rosco 3204 or others in that series or outside light to indoors eg as Rosco 3401 (roscosun 85).
Lots of options here. If working in Daylight and you are indoors and you are useing 3200K lights then you need to color correct the lights to sunlight, or you could cover the windows with 85 or 85B(if it is still around) and convert outside sunlight to 3200K.
That said you do not have to worry about color correction if you are shooting indoors with no outside light, or outdoors at night as the white balance on the camara should handle it. In either case, if you are dealing with a camera filter wheel or adjustment, just set for indoors or 3200 K and have fun.

I have found that if all you are shooting is colored lighting on a group and no sunlight is present then the indoor settings will work fine and catch most of the color
