Ok, I don't do this a lot, but I've been editing a bunch of pictures, particularly pictures with stage lighting...

So here's my RANT...

"You know what really ticks me off? It's stage lighting hands who think it's a great idea to simultaneously use two different colors on opposite sides of the color wheel to light the stage..."

"I mean, go for it, use green and blue or yellow and magenta, but seriously, GREEN AND MAGENTA lighting AT THE SAME TIME??!?"

"Bastards!"

"I can't even imagine what all those poor fools who were shooting film are feeling after getting their pics back all green and purple scratching their heads wondering WHY!!!!"

"OH the insanity!"

"Stage lighting folk, get your act together and read up on your colors!"

"Correcting the white balance is seriously one HUGE pain in the Derriere!"

"Parents and school administrators are NOT going to understand why the kid's face is half green and half purple, while their hands are normal color... or why half of their face is green and sickly, but the other half looks normal..."

Ok, I think I'm done.... Feel free to add anything you like!

"GRRRR!" Oops... It just slipped out!

I remember reading several comments from imagineer that stated that was an excellent way to light - even in studio - seems like the one where there's a bug coming out of his box was the last one I read.

Get him boys!

Some is good, like warm and cool, but I feel your pain!

Shoot in B&W? A lot of theatrical photos are 8x10 glossies B&W anyway ...

Alternative would be to set the WB manually shooting a white/gray card under neutral lighting, and let them all look like they have some Martian skin disease.

Put a tiny credits slug in the margin of the prints, including the Producer, Director, and (of course) Lighting Director/Designer ...
