Not really. These examples were shot with the GH5 and the 70D:

With a color chart, you can match the two cameras in post as described in [this great tutorial] (http://www.hybridcamerarevolution.com/2016/04/matching-colors-across-camera-brands.html) from /u/PastramiSwissRye.
With a [$1997.99 GH5 body (w a free 64 GB SD card and a couple of batteries)] (https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Mirrorless-Camera-Ritz-DC-GH5KBODY/dp/B01N3LU9O2//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20), a [$298 Baveyes Ultra 0.7x focal reducer/adapter] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=231987710613&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg), a [$97.99 copy of V-LOG] (http://adorama.evyy.net/c/60286/51926/1036?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adorama.com%2Fipcvl.html) and a [$101.96 X-Rite color checker pro] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002NU5UW8//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20), you can keep your Canon glass and use the 70D as a B cam.
Nice review of the Baveyes Ultra [here] (https://youtu.be/m6qMRKVfzpc). Metabones isn't the only game in town.
With this setup, you'll get 4K/60p, internal 10-bit 4:2:2, 1080/180p slow motion, unlimited recording time, a headphone jack, dual card slots and a full sized HDMI output - plus improved low light performance from the Kipon - and compatibility with your existing Canon lenses.
Hope this is helpful and good luck with your upgrade!
For those of us who are not in the lower 48 and want free shipping, Amazon has the same deal with Prime.
I shoot solo interviews all the time! Tell them you need an hour to get ready, and try to do as much as you can setup-wise when they are not in the room. I rig a colorchecker passport to a lightstand, and guesstimate where the talent's head will be to help me set up beforehand.
Once your lights are up, you are happy with your framing, and audio is set, then bring your talent in the room. Explain that you need to place him and make some final adjustments to make him look good (if they are new to filmmaking process, I like to explain to them that in Hollywood people make careers being stand-ins for this very reason, helps them understand that it's standard and that I'm not making mistakes). After that, jump to it!
Yeah, it's stupid. But they guarantee color consistency and color accuracy. There are some cheaper models available, but the X-Rite pocket is the most convenient, as it has a built in protective plastic case.
Here is a link to one more reasonably priced
Magmod Basic Kit $90
Xrite Color Checker Passport $70
Offer straight from Amazon (with Prime) as well
An additionl tip for that, you can get a x-rite passport and take a photo of it at a shoot, in the exact light you are using, and then create your own custom calibration in lightroom. Discovering this was a major step for improving my photography.
Rather then change your bulbs and setting WB in post try setting custom white balance in camera. Video link
That should fix your problem, if you shoot a whole lot under those conditions then you may want to swap your bulbs or get a Colorchecker Passport, it would automate the whole color correction process.
X-rite passport. $100 or so, but if you want to be confident about your colors, get it.
He sounds serious enough that he might appreciate the Colorchecker Passport. Shoot a photo of the color patchwork under the conditions in your studio (or any shoot, really) and use the bundled software to adjust the color of your photos to be precisely correct.
