JOEL FAMULARO – The ‘Film Looks’ for A7S3 & FX3 Updated

JOEL FAMULARO The ‘Film Looks’ for A7S3 Information:

The ‘Film Look’ LUT Pack contains 5 LUTs inspired by real film stocks designed to give your A7s3 & Fx6 Footage the Film Look. The emulations are based on my own research and subjective impressions of the film stocks listed.

The 5 LUTs are Described Below:

LUT 1) ‘Vision’ – Modelled on Kodak Vision 5274

• Shot on: The Matrix, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Gladiator
• The most colour accurate stock with accurate blues, slightly cool greens, accurate skin tones which slightly skew pink/gold
• Strong contrast and filmic subtractive colour model in saturation
• Gentle roll off and rich, smooth fall off in shadows
• Skews green in shadow areas and when underexposed
• Classic film character but less stylised than any other stock

LUT 2) ‘Eastman’ – Modelled on Kodak Eastman 5247

• Shot on: Apocalypse Now, Bladerunner, Alien, ET
• Vintage, dated Kodak look and feel.
• Saturation strongest in mids and falls off in shadows and highlights.
• Greens skew warm, blues slightly turquoise, gold/pink skin-tones.
• Smoother contrast than modern stocks.

LUT 3) ‘Vision Teal’ – Variation on Kodak Vision 5274 (LUT# 1)

• Subtle Orange/Teal colour scheme.
• More stylised version of ‘#1 Vision’. Less realistic – ‘prettier’.
• Greens are slightly warmer, blues slightly turquoise and skin more golden.
• Overall lift in saturation and contrast compared to ‘Vision’ but still balanced.
• Can elevate a dull scene with its look but not overpower a rich scene.

LUT 4) ‘Eterna’ – Modelled on Fuji Eterna 8563

• Shot on: Captain Phillips, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, The Butler
• Overall smoother contrast and rolloff compared to Kodak.
• Rich but not overpowering colours and saturation characteristics.
• My go-to for Fashion and Beauty but can work with almost anything.
• Very flattering skin-tones.
• Greens are cool and rich, skin is golden, blues skew turquoise and modern, colour accurate yellows compared to Kodak.

LUT 5) ‘Bleach’ – Modelled on Fujifilm Super F 8552

• Shot on: Munich, War of The Worlds, Crash
• Modelling the Bleach Bypass process for strong contrast and low saturation.
• Aggressive, gritty look – halfway between black and white and colour film.
• Great for War Films, Crime, Urban Fashion.
• Works especially well with heavy film grain.
