Oh I agree Dale... and another good tip I've discovered is if your camera has a white balance setting, use it.  The reason why... depending on the light you use for your shot can make or break your photos color balance.  If you're using just standard light bulbs, they will dull your colors on your model and makes them look all yellowy.  Really is pronounced when dealing with blues and reds, they come out looking brown and greenish.  So, in order to set the white balance on your camera (if you have that option, not all digitals do), take a sheet of plain printer paper and place it in the area your wish to film your model.  Then with the camera zoomed out completely, move in close and fill your view finder with as much of the paper as possible without losing focus.  Then take a picture (or set your balance).  This will tell your camera that this is a solid block of white that your dealing with and to adjust all color accordingly in the remaining photos you take in that session.  Some cameras will default back to original settings if you turn off the camera, so you would have to do this every time you turn your camera back on, but it will definitely make your colors stand out the way you intended them too.  Hope this little tip[ helps! :)
