CNN AC360 Trump Location Interview Lighting

July 20, 2015 forum topics
Did anybody else notice the incredibly bad lighting during the CNN AC360 Trump interview out on location last week? It was just unacceptable for something at that level.

First of all, it seemed to be a bit washed out as far as color. Their skin tones & hair weren’t rendered accurately. I think it should have been warmed up.

The floor lights were way too intense, whether too close or hot, and were accentuated by a slight shine on the side of Trump’s face whenever he adjusted his head’s orientation. You could almost see the light fixture’s face because of the ‘reflection’. Then, when Trump would gesture with an open hand, his palm was like a mini bounce board.

Of course, we don’t know how much time the crew had to set up and what tools they had to work with if it was a last minute shoot. But at a minimum, I think light intensity, if not placement, and CT should have been correct.
