Bad coloured clothes? Look ok in FCP

[Shane Ross]

I don’t recall that blue was an issue, but white usually is. Because if you ever expose at all, detail gets lost quickly.

The issue with blue is a possible chroma key problem. When keying out blue you can easily poke holes in parts of a blue shirt with shadows that approximate the color of the blue screen.

BTW, green screen was created to solve a similar issue, because Walter Cronkite’s blue eyes created havoc on the CBS Evening News when they first began the now commonly used practice of keying images behind the news anchor.

The colour Red has long been the bad boy colour in video. A lot of this stems back from the early tube cameras and should diminish with the use of lcd screens and HD digital cameras.

So that takes care of red, white and blue, what’s next? 🙁

Yeah, but that’s just a taste issue. Add flares and wing collars to that too, along with big sideburns. Especially for women.
