Day 21: 25 Insights in 25 Days Holiday Marathon
Back again with a new look to share with you guys!
This look has evolved from trying many different things that all combined together to make a pretty nice look!
I was trying to create a soft painterly look with diffused highlights and naturally drifted towards a colorized film look.
I’ve included my DRX files below for you to try at home.
We will be taking this footage from here :

Footage
To load up my looks you will need two things.
Firstly the footage which has been so kindly supplied by Mixing Light member Kraig Winterbottom. You can see his work here.

Grain
You will also need to grab the free Gorilla Grain sample here and have that in your media pool.
The grain choice is not important so please feel free to use your preferred grain

Notice you haven’t really used the clean black/white qualifier adjustments in your resolve 12 insights. Any reason?
Have you tried out the luts from
http://luts.iwltbap.com/
A few of the luts have a hyper real skin tone and teal look to them.
I tend to set the output key to like 15% to tone them down.
Here is a web based preview tool where you can drag a jpeg on it to preview it.

LMAO! Those guys stole a “before” (ungraded) pictures from my website that is not public domain, cropped out my watermark and credits, and applied their LUT as an example. Hmmmm….
Wow man! That is pretty lame. You should speak to them for sure! I know Robbie has a little trouble with people using his imagery online without permission too.
Sent them an email. Now I know why many dont even post ungraded stills, even watermarked (rolls eyes).
On a more positive note, love this look breakdown! Sorta hit my “super saturated” request in a way I wasnt even thinking about with the added diffusion glow. Thanks!
I know it’s not quite the super saturated look. I ended up recording this insight 4 times all with slightly different looks as I wasn’t 100% happy with any of them. It’s funny how we get colorist block sometimes and your eyes just don’t like anything they see!
Its sounds like quite the journey, but as you put it quite well, thats real world grading.
This seems to happen allot with me, Specifically when working with Black magic footage. For some reason the skin tones on black magic footage are always too red / magenta and never look good when lined up with the skin tone indication line. Great insight btw
That’s horrific, Jason. Sue the bastids!
thanks again Dan. Great stuff to play with around the hollidays
Where do you usually get your emulsion LUTs? Also, the film grain is really great. Is this typically a grain that you use ?or only for demo purposes? Thanks!
