Thanks Walter, that is a real lot of neon lighting, must have been done at mates rates one would imagine.
Speaking of mixed lighting, when Fuji released their first four layer colour negative film we had a rep visit extolling the virtues of the colours one could get under some unbelievable scenarios. We were a bit sceptical, but we tried the samples given and were pretty astounded.
From then on whenever a photographer went on a shoot indoors, they always packed some of the Fuji film. Using Kodak Color Print film we very quickly had 4x5" trannies on the light box needing none to very little colour balance for magazine reproduction. That film really was a game changer in the colour fidelity sphere of photography.
I still have half a box of Color Print film in my darkroom refrigerator.
For those coming late to colour films, Kodak's Color Print film was used, in this instance, under the enlarger with the original C41 camera film in the enlarger and the Color Print film under the enlarger on the easel. Once exposed, the standard C41 process was done and you ended up with a colour corrected transparency film on your light box ready to go to a magazine or newsprint printer/publisher.
