SFTV 484 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I just noticed watching this youtube video. CBS 2 and KCAL have 2 different studios back to back. Question is why is CBS 2's lighting on the anchor more softer than KCAL 9 where its very bright? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1811 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 It seems to me like it might be a style thing (KCBS is more muted, KCAL is more vibrant to compliment the graphics). That or there's two different people with different opinions on how to adjust the cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProButtonPusher 230 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 The lighting in the KCAL desk shot looks like it may be a tiny bit off. Notice on the 2-shot how the lights are hitting the female anchor pretty hard, but the male anchor has a shadow on his right side. It looks like a fill light may have been shifted. There's not much you can do with a camera iris to fix that, other than lowering it, though she would still have the same amount of shadow. The lighting during her stand-up portion of the video is okay for the circumstance (it's harder to light a stand-up area because people are different heights and you have to account for that). It could also come down to the filters they choose to use for one set's cameras (assuming they don't use the same cameras for both sets, and if they actually do use filters.) Kind of creepy that the video is about the outfit she was wearing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Kind of creepy that the video is about the outfit she was wearing... Could be posted at talent's request, some female anchor/reporters I know focus more on clothing and style in their demo reels vs. actual content and skill.

24994J 5276 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 The lighting in the KCAL desk shot looks like it may be a tiny bit off. Apparently the lights were literally off for a time on Friday night... http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/power-outage-knocks-kcal-off-the-air-during-newscast_b52799 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A3N 996 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Apparently the lights were literally off for a time on Friday night... http://www.mediabist...newscast_b52799 Yeah, but the video is dated 6/20 while the power outage occurred on the 22nd. The only thing that comes to mind in regards to the lighting issue would probably have to do with the set. KCAL's set is a bit more brighter than KCBS', that or they purposely want the lighting to be darker at 2. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
