Working on a show with Tigers in the wild and I find I can really push the saturation on the these big kitties and it looks good. Once a human gets in the shot I have to pull the saturation back so the flesh tone looks normal. I'm guessing this is one of the human perceptions of color that we are more in tune with how human flesh tone should look and are more sensitive to saturation of skin tone than we are of kitty saturation. Does this make sense? It's been a long week of doubles, shifts that is not beverages, but I did start to think more about this than I should but I have a few pet theories. I'm trying to figure what factors would account for the Human vs Feline saturation. Should I suggest to the producers before the next shoot that the talent should sleep 23 hours a day, like a cat, for at least a week before taping? Or what if it has something to do with always landing on your feet, like a cat. Should they pre screen potential
talent with a "drop test"? Oh well at least there only two more work days this week. Back to the cat farm. ;-)
