Hello!
I hope you are well.
I am shooting a project soon in 16mm using 250D in an outdoor daylight environment. The location is a big green field with some green trees, its going to be quite overwhelming electric green. I would like to try to make the scenes warm and minimise the green effect, notably on costumes and skins. I feel it is better to shoot clean with Macbeth colour chart as reference and do the work in the grade. But maybe it is not the best option? Maybe there is filters that can be of use?
Let me know what you think.
Thank you very much!
Claire

Green saturation is easily adjusted in color-correction so I wouldn’t worry about trying to adjust that with a filter (which would be magenta… but then everything gets more magenta). However unwanted or excessive green spill into the shadows or onto faces should be treated on set with flags, negative fill, draping cloth over off-camera greens, etc.
If your dailies colorist is amenable to doing more than just balancing to the grey card at the head, you could film a sign saying “reduce green channel saturation” as well.
