Experiment with the following if you have some MV lighting in a nearby
parking lot:

1. Try manual or auto white balance on a white card right under one of the
lights. Then, shoot some wide stuff.

2. If your camera does a constant white balance act, try adding a 1/4 blue
filter in front of the lens.

3. Combine the above two.

These experiments will not help much when your light is mixed, such as
when you've got those neon signs and other light sources in the shot.

Nice footage, by the way, Paul. Just one little critique - you seem to
favor a slight tilt to the right in several scenes.
