Unfortunately the video projection is reflected light and the performer is in direct light (not to mention the differences in color temperature between the video projector and the stage lighting). Our eyes and brains can adjust for this disparity but the camera does not. The video projection will not appear to be in "true" color once it is shot, it will appear to have lost intensity as well. Usually this is accepted in viewing a live performance with video projection. If your project is for broadcast or other special needs, you would need to shoot on blue or green screen and composite. jdm ><<The image is not strong enough on >account of the side lighting on the body of the dancer in front.
