Why Every Movie Looks Sort of Orange and Blue

Why Every Movie Looks Sort of Orange and Blue






Why Every Movie Looks Sort of Orange and Blue    Master  Vashi Nedomansky


Maybe you haven’t noticed, but in the past 20-or-so years there’s been a real catchy trend in major Hollywood movies to constrain the palette to orange and blue. The color scheme, also known as “orange and teal” or “amber and teal” is the scourge of film critics – one of whom calls this era of cinema a “dark age.”

You’re probably skeptical, so check out the following. Warning that once you know what to look for, it will be very difficult for you not to notice see this color scheme every time you look at a screen, at least for a little while: ...

What is the Ws in a camera flash?
Nikon SB900 is 76Ws (joules or watt-seconds)

If we compare to the SB900, the Profoto B1 is 6.5 times more powerful, which equals 2.7 stop. So no, the SB900 can never equal a 500Ws strobe... more



The SB800 has a 1400μF capacitor and the normal charging voltage is 330V. The stored energy is 0.5CV^2=76.2J so about 76Ws.

The SB600 has a 1000μF capacitor and is also charged to 330V. The stored energy is 0.5CV^2=54.5J so about 54Ws.







Output Power (Ws): 600 Flash Guide No.(GN): 76


Ok but ¿What happens with the BCPS? Tonight I have measure the BCPS of a Profoto B1 without any lightshaper and have read a 230lxs at 3,16m, so the BCPS is 2300 js. Tonight I have illuminated the front of an hotel in a place bouncing the B1 (nude, without lightshaper) in the wall in front off the hotel. It is: I have illuminated one side of the place bounthing the light in the opposite wall. I was almost in 1/3 of the lenght of the place, near the bouncing wall. So it was about 15 meters from the B1 to the wall and about 50 meters fom this wall to the opposite. In this, I get a f:2,8 for a ISO 640/29. With a 1/1000 emission time the illuminance provided by the bouncing in the final wall was about 3300lx. BUT: if the BCPS of the B1 is 2300js ¿Why I cannot get the same light with a Metz 45 with a BCPS of 4400js?

And that’s fine if (1) there is some prior experience in Photoshop, masking, blend modes, and working in adjustment layers and in channels or the prospect of a steep learning curve is not daunting; and (2) you are determined to get a good return on your efforts by using Photoshop for more than a few “paint by numbers” tricks from a book.
