I'm going to do Dlog-M recordings in nature in a few days. Are there any Luts (free or payed) you can recommend?
Hi,
For nature recordings with Dlog-M footage, you will want LUTs that help bring out natural colors while maintaining the cinematic feel. Here are some recommendations:
Free LUTs:
-
James Miller’s Cine LUTs – These are great for adding filmic color grades to your footage without overly stylizing it. They work well for natural landscapes and outdoor scenes.
-
Triune Films LUTs – Triune Films offers some free LUTs that help with giving a cinematic touch to nature footage. Their collection includes a variety of looks that you can experiment with.
-
Cinematic LUTs by IWLTBAP – IWLTBAP offers free sample LUTs that can be used for a wide range of nature footage, with natural color enhancement and dynamic contrast.
Paid LUTs:
-
LUTs from Ground Control – Known for their high-quality cinematic LUTs, Ground Control offers several packs that can work wonders with Dlog-M footage. Their LUTs help emphasize the colors of nature without oversaturating the image.
-
Osiris by VisionColor – This is a more filmic LUT pack that works well for outdoor, nature scenes with Dlog-M footage. It’s great for achieving that organic, earthy feel.
-
M31 by Color Grading Central – This LUT pack works especially well for nature and landscape footage, offering a rich, detailed color palette.
For Dlog-M footage, make sure to check if the LUTs are designed to work with Log profiles specifically, as it will ensure the best color recovery.
