The problem

One LUT can’t hold a whole show.

Film emulation usually ships as a single file: one fixed conversion from digital footage to a film look. But that conversion isn’t fixed. How a digital camera and a film stock line up depends on the light on set and what that light falls on, and both change from setup to setup. A single LUT can only match one of them. Across a production it drifts, and your color team spends the shoot fighting it.

What we build

A look engine, not a look.

The relationship between digital and film is many-to-many: many possible matches, one of them right for each setup. So instead of shipping a single conversion, we build an engine that produces the right one for the environment you are actually shooting in, and keeps producing it as the light and the location change. One intended look, held across the whole show.

A LUT is one frame of this. As the light moves from tungsten to LED to firelight, the transform itself warps, nonlinearly. The engine is the whole field, not a single frame of it.

How we work

Engineers on your production.

We deploy with the show and stay through the pipeline, not a tool you are handed and left to run. When a setup falls outside what the engine has already seen, you aren’t stuck waiting on a vendor. Our engineers recharacterize your cameras and retrain the engine to cover it, on your schedule. Creatives keep control of the image, and the work stays inside your budget.

In your pipeline

Deep learning, live inside Resolve.

We are the only company running deep-learning models natively inside DaVinci Resolve, in real time on the GPU. The engine forward-passes your footage pixel by pixel, right on the timeline, so the look is live as your colorists work. It fits the post workflow your teams already run. No exports, no round-trips, no renders to wait on.

RGB in, RGB out. The model forward-passes every pixel on the GPU, in real time, as a native transform on your Resolve timeline.

When the light changes, the match changes with it.

    Characterization

    We profile your cameras and film stocks as pairs, measuring how each records light. The foundation the engine runs on.

  2. 02

    Production

    Our engineers stay on call through the shoot, recharacterizing and retraining as conditions change, so the match holds from the first setup to the last.

    Licensing

    License the engine for your production. It delivers as LUTs and DaVinci Resolve transforms your teams already use, consistent across every episode and unit.
