Hi everyone. I am a new member.
I'm getting really bad color on my super-8 telecine transfers and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Here is my setup:
Eumig S910 projector
Coastar video/film converter (first surface mirror/rear projection screen)
XL1s Settings:
shutter: 1/90
aperture: f5.2 (i ride the iris wheel to adjust brightness levels)
gain: 0
ND filter: on (i use this to reduce the bright light hitting the telecine convertor from the projector)
white balance: indoor mode
problem: bluish, muddy reds; muddy colors all around.
The reason i don't set the WB manually is that since i'm working in darkened room and the only light source is coming from the projector i have no way to set the WB. Too bad there's no way to set WB moving a continous dial from warm to cool while watching it on a video monitor.
I appreciate any ideas re. this and am glad to join what seems like a cool community.
