Calibrate Your Monitor

Videomaker has done a good video tutotial on how to calibrate your monitor. It is mostly about how to calibrate a production monitor with a blue-only mode. But they also mention how you can calibrate on a TV using a blue gel filter. You can use Rosco #80 or Wratten #47B Blue. If we don't have one of these already, I should pick one up at Gasser's.

The tutorial is in 2 parts. You can go right to the tutorials by hitting the Tips & Techniques link on the right side of the page. I found this via DVGuru.com Please watch this when you have 15 minutes. BTW, this isn't something you do once and forget about it. You should definitely calibrate before you do any color correction or critical color work.
