Amnon I heard you had the same issue

Are you using CFL's only? Do you have a fluorescent light in the room somewhere? In the last few weeks - since I got the softboxes with the BIG CFL's - I was told I look pale, I look green etc. and could not adjust to counter it. Adding a 100W incandescent bulb inside one of the boxes, seemed to correct it some. Mike mentioned gel filters to filter out the green, I got on eBay and found a set of gels for $7.00 (red, green, blue, yellow). When I got them I tried them all, and the red one corrected the problem. I taped it to the inside of the diffuser (in the middle, the gels are 12x12). I went on to cover a fluorescent light that I have (hanging from the ceiling upside down so that it just reflects) with more red gels.

The first thing that came to mind is lighting. Might try taking video outside or at different locations to see if you still have the green hue.

I have been playing around with the manual white balance and its getting close. Im going to pick up some more Pink gels and see if that helps out some more.
