Funny how on F&F the lighting is good for leg chair segments yet Happening Now uses the same studio they are only lighting faces for the leg chair segments.

It's as if they only have one spot light on Jenna and one for the guest and no other filler lighting.
I don't get how anyone setting up the studio for this segment believes the lighting is good.
The video can be made a little better with Gamma correction,

Here's another example from Sunday how either the lighting and or camera setting change from 10am and 12pm using the same studio.
Notice how in the 10am hour the wide shot is brighter then at 12pm.

At the desk it's opposite and the desk light is brighter at 12pm then 10am.

Eric looks to be the same level of brightness in both screen shots. It appears that they dimmed a key light on Jamie. :x

Wanted to make a comment on Red Eye since moving into the remodeled F&F studio.
I know some don't think the lighting is bad though It seems to me there are two things effecting the wide camera shot.
One is not enough light on the leg chair which you can tell from the shadows on Sandara's legs and them being darker then her face.
If a guest is in black ph even if they are sheer they almost appear like tights.
Also it appears that the wide camera shot is being kept a bit darker and could actually be turned up a bit brighter.

Here's a comparison of the wide camera shot as is and made brighter by adjusting the lighting levels.

While Sandra's face might be a bit to bright, you can clearly make out more detail when the lighting level is raised and the contrast is adjusted.
Of course it's easy to correct still caps and much harder to re process video.

Here's a better example of lighting changes on the same camera from today on Happening Now.
Image Image
Notice how the wide camera shot goes from normal to dark because of a change in settings.
While I can understand them making it darker so the logo on the floor shows up better the wide camera is more often left on the darker side so there is less detail and light in the camera shot.
