The A7s3, Fx3 and Fx6 are game-changing cameras, with incredible features, image quality and lowlight capability all in a super compact form factor. The Sony colour science has really come a long way but I still felt there was room for improvement.
To me, the gold standard for colour science is still to be found in the ARRI Digital Camera family, and so using my own ARRI Amira as a benchmark, I developed a LUT that reverse engineers the colour science of the Alexa709 LUT, which I’ve always found to look filmic and natural, straight out of the camera; The result is my ‘Phantom Neutral LUT. Using this ARRI Emulation as a base, I further developed 9 additional creative LUTs divided into two LUT Packages centred around two themes:
- The ‘ARRI Looks’ A7s3 and Fx3 utilise same sensor so the A7s3 LUTs work best with Fx3.
- The ‘Film Looks’ Updated video coming soon that features A7s3/Fx6 and Fx3 footage but be assured that the A7s3/Fx6 and Fx3 versions work just as beautifully as with all the other camera sensors.
* NOTE – The A7s3 LUTs work best on A7iv and the Fx6 LUTs work best on the A1 *
The ‘ARRI Look’ LUT pack was developed alongside my ARRI Amira to first and foremost provide a way to emulate the Alexa709 look with the ‘Neutral LUT’. Included with Alexa709 Emulation LUT are four look LUTs to act as creative variations and alternatives for further colour grading options. The Fx6 sensor is very similar to the A7s3 and Fx6 specific versions are included with the A7s3 LUTs as a package deal.
