The film look, measured.
Film emulation that adapts to your set.

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.
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.
When the light changes, the match changes with it.
01
Characterization
We profile your cameras and film stocks as pairs, measuring how each records light. The foundation the engine runs on.
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.
03
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.
