Makeup vs. ND

Makeup vs. ND

I wonder what effect ND will have on makeup hue and tone, since there could be some shift in the far red even if the near IR is being blocked. Same with some pola filters that tint to have a violet or brown tint sometimes, and uneven UV/IR pass.

It might be worth testing to see if heavy ND has an impact on the balance of tones for the makeup used, and also what impact any extra IR block used has to adjust since that extra IR block will also cut far red, and increase the noise in the red parts of the image if you pull the red back out of the greenish cast in post grading...

I think Technicolor did makup tests since their camera had problems with things not looking like they did to the eye, what great color you see in those films was not what it looked like on the set, the consultant that had to come with the three strip camera was there to help with fabric and makup tests to pick colors that would "convert" into the ones the director wanted in the final print...

Dan,

Would love to know any link or reference about the results by Technicolor?
