whitebalancing mixed light - fluoro and natral

[overlander]

I am using a new fluoro lighting kit with a pink filter to cut greens. I was told fluoros increase green and pink overrides this.

Inside I whitebalanced in front of talent which gave nice skin tones under fluoro. But infortunately light coming through windows came out with a green tinge.

Would removing pink filter over fluoro help reduce this?

Any suggestions how to get good whitebalance in mixed light ie fluro and natural light.

It depends on how the light is mixing. If you can control or eliminate the sunlight then the minus green gel on the flos would be the trick. If you can not overcome the sun, gel your lights to match the sunlight. Again a minus green should do the trick. Probably looking to balance to the 5600K colour temp so make sure your gels actually are the minus green type and just not "rock n roll" pink gels-there is a difference. See Roscoe or Lee for proper gels.

Good luck
