Rocket Rooster – Film Labs 64

Film Labs 64 — Advanced Film Emulation Toolkit for DaVinci Resolve

Film Labs 64 by Rocket Rooster is a professional-grade DCTL plugin designed exclusively for DaVinci Resolve Studio, offering robust film emulation and intuitive color control—all housed in a streamlined 5‑node grading workflow

Core Workflow — 5 Nodes

1. Conversion Node – Converts log or Rec709 footage to a calibrated base. You can use DaVinci’s CST, included conversion LUTs, or your own color space transform.
2. Skin Control – Fine-tune skin hue, saturation, and luminance without affecting other areas of the image.
3. Secondaries – Adjust saturation, contrast, white balance, and lift/gamma/gain—all in a single utility node.
4. Look Node – Choose from 10 film-stock emulations, including Kodak and Fuji blends, with optional print film emulations like 2383 and 3513. Includes highlight and shadow tint controls.
5. Texture Node – Add aesthetic enhancements like grain, bloom, density control, halation, and vignette for cinematic rendering

Included Film Stocks

Film Labs 64 includes nuanced emulations of the following film stocks and prints:

• Kodak: 5213, 5207, 5201, Ektachrome, 2383 Print
• Fuji: 500T, 250D, 8532, 8520, 3513 Print

These stocks are designed to deliver accurate color behavior, skin warmth, and highlight roll-off for cinematic aesthetics

Why It Stands Out

• DCTL-Based Emulation: No external LUT stacks—emulate film appearance using GPU-native Resolve functions.
• Efficient & Fast: Built for speed, clarity, and creative iteration. Designed to avoid bloated node trees.
• Versatile Film Looks: From classic film tones to creative tints, you have refined control within each node.
• Compatible with Rec709 workflows: Works seamlessly as a second-pass tool on log or Rec709 footage
