Re: tripple header *LINK*

I have a feeling the video tape may be shot that way to start with. I have been shooting video since 1984, and have not seen any color shifts in any of the tape I have shot.
It almost sounds like a filter or white balance situation. In earlier cameras, you had choices of filters(still do), and back then you had to white balance with each filter manually. Now most of this is automatic, with over-ride if needed.
I recently had some color correction done on a tape of SP4449 I shot in 1989. I had the wrong filter and did not know it until I watched it at the motel that night. Everything has a blue tint, as it was an indoor filter(2), instead of the usual filter 3 I was using(certain Kelven-sp?) if I remember right. This was an older tube camera, and had to have the tubes registered, and white balance each day essentially. Boy how things have changed.
Anyway I sent out this twenty minute video, and had it color corrected, and put onto Betacam SP, and I totally re-edited that video, and it will release on DVD this fall. When it was first edited in 1989, that editor made it look worse, as it had a yellow tint in the original video. Now it looks correct. Total cost of doing that 18 minutes of so of tape was probably $200.00.
I also had a color problem once on the C&TS, but mentioning that one is kinda painful!! " />
Long story short, the camera was dropped, the chip block was busted, and we didn';t know it cause it was B&W viewfinder. Sony covered the replacement part($5,000), but I had to pay for the labor($550.00). I then had to pay over $1200 to get the footage color corrected. Its not perfect but far better than the PINK that was everything shot after the damage.
The videos effected were "Tripleheader Rotary"
and "Chama Freight Turns". I have yet to convert either of these to DVD, largely because of the nightmare surrounding the events mentioned above.
