Film Emulation

The most advanced and accurate Film Emulation LUTs ever built.​​

Film Emulation is not a “Look.” It's a science.

Film emulation isn’t subjective — it has a measurable, non-linear 3D response to light and color. We captured that with over 300,000 data points and our proprietary machine learning model, mapping the true geometry of film’s behavior.

Kodak’s iconic color reversal stock.

 

Known for bold contrast, rich saturation, fine grain, and beautiful skin tones.

​

It's made a comeback in recent years most notably being used in Euphoria S2, Poor Things, and Sinners.​​

Film Emulation LUT

Built from Real Film

Using our proprietary machine learning algorithm, we modeled the non-linear 3D response of actual film stocks, capturing how they react to light, color, and exposure.

​

Each emulation is processed from over 300,000 measured data points across cameras and exposures. The result: a film look that doesn’t just mimic the surface — it behaves like real film.

Ektachrome 800 3D LUT Response

Fully 3D and Non-Linear Response

  • True 3D LUTs: built to map every color interaction, not just individual channels.

​

  • Non-linear film response: Colors, highlights, shadows, and midtones react naturally and complex, just as they do on celluloid.​​

Universally Compatible.
Easy to Use.

All of our film emulations are delivered as .cube LUTs, the industry standard format for color grading.

 

That means they work seamlessly with virtually any camera and any editing software, including DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Baselight, AVID, and more.​​
