That may require you to use one or more LUTs, that is so because any LUT can give predictable output for only a number of footages on your timeline, not all of them, hence adjustments are necessary to maintain consistency in the color scheme of the film. To answer this first be clear about the color scheme you want your whole video/film to follow. Why choose creative LUTs?ĭon’t we all want the pro, sophisticated, distinctive, vividly color-graded look for our videos? Creative LUTs help saves a lot of our time to achieve that. Since ‘color’ is used in both the terms it can be ambiguous to remember the real distinction in the nature of both the terms and may lead to filmmakers thinking the border between the two is so thin that it can be easily crossed but we must know and carefully deal with the processes in a particular order. Both the processes must never be confused with each other, neither mixed nor skipped.
Color grading is not meant to do color correction work and color correction is not meant to do color grading. This basically means adjusting exposure, highlights, shadows, mid-tones, white-balance, contrast, and saturation so that the flat-looking footage falls easy on the eyes, begin to look vivid, and lays the foundation for the color-grading with creative LUT, to be done in the next step.Ĭreative LUTs are calibrated only to be added and worked upon, on footages that have been color corrected. Since we shoot with different cameras under different conditions and that each scene happens to be a bit different from preceding and succeeding scenes, we need to correct how lights are received throughout the whole video/film. This practice allows your colorist to have maximum control in playing with colors during the whole color grading process and that lets your film get as close as possible to the look you had originally envisioned.
It is advised to manually choose the neutral or flat profile within your camera to shoot with because these profiles allow for high-dynamic-range for your camera to record details in.
