don't scorn me for asking lol, but i'm looking for what type of lighting and effects i need to do to get the look of the Nasa Control Room From Armegeddon. It has this blueish tint to it i can't manage to create

You can get a bluish tint by white balancing your camera to something yellow or orange, or by using color correction filters during editing. These methods are often easier than putting blue gels over your lights.

Yeah - but I think production effects always look better than post effects if done right.

If you can do it in camera - do it. It usually always looks better.

Can you post a screen grab of the scene you're trying to recreate?

I agree with Chris that is is generally better to do it with lighting. Even when there's a strong blueish ting, there's generally something in the frame that's warm to show just how blue the room really is.

I totally agree I'm really rather fond of the white balance trick, which is sort of a compromise between lighting and effects, but yes, if you CAN light it blue, do it!

best i could find on google
