Possible to fix white balance in post?

Hello. I have been shooting some documentry work and so far all the footage has been extremely good however yesterday I shot an interview and the white balance was off. Didn't notice it in the viewfinder but the image has come out with a blue hue that looks pretty nasty.

I use premiere pro 3 and was wondering if there is anyway to fix the white balance issue in post?

Here is a snap of the scene with poor white balance:



Here is a snap moments after when I fixed the white balance. A big difference!

What you want to look for is a color corrector 3-way filter. This is a quick and easy way to fix, other editors may know of a better way, but this is what I use.

The 3-way filter should consist of 3 circle color graphs. Blacks, Mids, Highlights. Take the eye dropper for the highlights and click on the white sheet of paper. That should fix the majority of your problem. Then work with the blacks and mids to make it perfect. There is a tutorial floating around on the internet that shows this but I am not sure where it is at. I hope this helps.

Good luck, let us know if you have anymore problems.
