Doesn't make sense as you wrote it, but then you said nothing
about the lighting. If they are shooting during daylight with lots
of sunlight coming in and bouncing around the white walls while
they are trying to shoot tungsten (3200 deg K), it might make a
little sense. Of course this has nothing to do with HD.
