Here's some samples from the camera test this past weekend, preparing for the short film that we start shooting this coming Saturday. We were mostly looking at lighting for varying skin tones, and while these are a little warm and underexposed we're happy with how they turned out.

For the technical people, lights were set at 3600K (rim/fill) or 4600K (key), camera white balance set at 6400K to force a warmer color but this is where I think the overly-warm is coming from, I'm going to try 5500K on set. Not sure which was which but most of this footage was on either a 28mm or 50mm lens, both 1970s--ish vintage and previously used for film photography, not cine lenses -- they both have a nice soft feel to them.
