Inspiration & Motive
The majority of films made on film up to this point have been reprinted on a very particular film stock before being released. The 2383 Kodak Stock is used to print all of the films shown in the following illustration. All three images, while displaying a distinct mood (in terms of color), have the general appearance and features of Kodak 2383 Print Film Stock, despite the fact that they were taken at separate times. In the course of dissecting the appearance, we not only looked at the film stock samples, but we also looked at all of the films printed on 2383 Stock with great attention to detail.
What is Print Film Emulation LUT (PFE)?
Print Film LUT simulates the post-print appearance of your image before it’s actually printed on a target film material. Before printing, you can see an almost accurate representation of the film’s density and color response on your grading monitor. Applying a print LUT is one of the best and easiest ways to get a film-like appearance in digital footage. Color correcting and all the essential processes will still be necessary, but the results will be far more impressive and complex than any color-grading LUT you’ve ever used.
We’ve taken a step further by reworking the Print LUT into a 2383 Print Film Davinci Resolve Power Grade. It’s fully editable and offers a more powerful palette for your creative vision.
