There is no doubt that the use of LUTs is an important step in grading an S-Log footage, also if some colorist prefer to have the total control and they tend to work directly from the native footage, but indeed it is easier, or at least less time-consuming to have a handy LUT that gets a straight conversion without giving a particular grade, just the first contrast and saturation adjustment.
#SLOG 2 LUT SKIN#
What would you say that defines the Alexa Look? Probably the life-like skin tones, generally good looking colors, nice highlight roll-off. Now, Harv of Harv Video/Audio Stuff is going to test the Phantom LUT Pack by Joel Famularo that promises to be just the right LUT collection to convert your Sony S-Log in beautiful Alexa-like footage. A good color grading and the right LUT can get results far better than a less wide gamut color space as we were used on the previous generation of DSLR and similar camcorders.
The magic of logarithmic color spaces, specifically the S-log 2 and S-Log 3 profiles in Sony’s cameras, allow for some quite flexible post-production tweaks and tricks when it comes to modifying colors. In the meantime, we can make use of what we have at our disposal, like the small workhorses that the Sony Alpha cameras are. Be it a Mini, LF or whatever version, many filmmakers are dreaming of working with such a beast, but unfortunately for many of us that will stay a dream for a while. ARRI Alexa is one of the most desired cameras on the planet.
