Film Emulation

A thirty-four LUT catalog built the honest way: characteristic curves and color extracted from the film manufacturers' own datasheets, assembled in an ACES pipeline, and eye-validated on real footage. No invented film data, ever.

Real film stocks are siblings, not costumes: the print carries the punch and the negatives differ in color rendering. Drag each slider against its before and watch the skin, the sky, and the deepest shadows.

Mediterranean film print LUTs by Orange Box Productions

How the catalog is built

Thirteen negatives, eight prints, and thirteen complete tones. The negatives carry the color of the stock, restrained and low-contrast. The prints carry the punch, led by Mediterranean, the warm cinema print every TONE is built on. Any negative under any print is a valid look. Everything is extracted from real manufacturer data, then judged by eye in Resolve before it ships.
