What I really appreciate above and beyond this quality tutorial is the recap you do. It makes a world of difference in putting the steps together to help memorise these steps.
This is unreal stuff. Very interested in learning film emulation related topics. Can you do a film print lecture explaining what's the difference between film emulation and film print emulation? Maybe all other aspects that we don't know.
When you shoot film, you are shooting a negative. The negative has inverted colors, so in order to get a displayable image for projection, you need to "print" the negative on to positive film, hence the name "print film". Kodak 2383 is the only print film that Kodak still produces. If you go to a theater that still projects 35mm film today (probably for a Tarantino or Nolan movie), you are watching the movie being projected on a Kodak 2383 print. Negative film examples: Kodak 5207 250D - Daylight balanced color negative film Kodak 5219 500T - Tungsten balanced color negative film Positive film examples: Kodak 2383 - Color print film Kodak 2393 - Color print film (discontinued) In Davinci Resolve, the built in Kodak and Fuji print film emulation LUTs are designed to be applied to film scans in order to recreate on a Rec. 709 display what the film negative will look like once it is printed and projected. That's why they need a Cineon film log input. Cineon is a type of film scanning system. Resources & useful tools: Juan Melara has some good info and powergrades on print film emulation As does Tom Bolles with a super in depth powergrade / node tree for film emulation (CinePrint16) which I highly recommend. Very powerful if you learn how to use it right. Check out Kodak’s website for detailed specs/info on their film stocks
@@annabelsamantha6982 Man, you really hittin us with the knowledge! This is the second time I've seen a comment of yours on a Qazi vid dropping in-depth explanations. Thank you!
@@annabelsamantha6982 I have a question with regards to Tom Bolles’ cineprint 16. Why do I always get a green tint on skin and highlights when I apply the power grade ?
Very nice looking results. It is worth pointing out, when it comes to contrast, creaminess, halation, flare, etc. lens selection cannot be over-stated for its contribution to the final image, regardless of recording medium. And so part of what is also happening here isn't just film emulation, it's lens emulation as well.
The highlight glow in the Django Unchained tree image comes partially from stockings behind the lens. From ASC Mag 2013: "When Richardson wanted to soften a shot, he’d ask Tavenner to glue a stocking across the rear element of the lens. This was done mostly for scenes set in the South to reduce overall contrast and add a slight bloom to the highlights. “That reflects the nature of the light down south, which is kind of humid, a little glowing,” Tavenner notes. The stockings varied in their styles and patterns, “but [the effect] mostly depended on how it was stretched and matched to the different focal lengths,” says Tavenner. “Over the years, all these nets have gotten mixed up in my kit, so I just grab a stocking and judge the quality by eye.”
@@TheGalacticWest I tried it with my photo camera. Was kind of an akward situation me as a guy shopping for stockings and judging them by looking through them in the store. Haha Good luck!
@@dolcevita9382 hey man sorry, im in a very entrylevel condition about this argument but i would really like to fully understand what did u mentioned in the comment above… there are even some terms or way to say that i dont really know the meaning because im not a mother language, i’m italian ahah. so can u please explain me a bit more😅. thank u so much
Hey Jake, I’ve noticed that when you apply the CST, if you set the input color space to Arri, it’ll handle the saturation properly rather than you needing to boost the printer lights to apply saturation. The CST does it a bit better than the printer lights in my opinion.
Yes, you can apply saturation in the CST, but with the CST being at the end of the node tree, there’s much more flexibility by adding your saturation node early on in the image pipeline. However, you could still add that saturation with an additional CST in place of the RGB mixer method (by only modifying the color space settings and leaving gamma as is), and still have the option to dial back the intensity using the node key output slider.
Ok here's the deal. I thought the last tutorial I saw from you was awesome. It was actually. Now, this one is mind blowing!!! I had issues with a particularly "poorly filmed" grade but your tutorial helped push it out. I can't wait to take that course of yours!!!!
I have an idea! We buy the most expensive camera with huge dynamic range and 6k resolution, and we also add an arri master prime lense to remove any chromatic aberations, halitions and other artifacts to make it all look like we actually did not spend so much money on that kit :) Genius!
@Waqas Qazi Thank you for making this breakdown this really makes it simple to get a cinematic look. For the halation workflow, say for example we have a film that is cyber punk inspired and neon lights, would I be able to introduce pink into the halation or purple to match the more of the tone or style of cyber punk look?
The film look is the reason why I still use the Blackmagic Pocket Original and the Canon EOS M with Magic Lantern. But, the flip side is that sometimes I do not like the film look and have a hard time editing the footage to change that.
Hey! Amazing tutorial, thanks a lot for all yours explanations ! :) I'm facing a problem, and I wonder if anyone had the same : when adding halation with the "Edge Detect" effect, I have a beautiful effect but impossible to use because it flicker a lot. I tried to change all the parameters but I still have the highlights flickering. I can use it as a still but no as a moving image. Tkss, have a great day!
notice how halation also affects dots on her tshirt, which it shouldn’t really, i believe qualification on edge effect could be higher towards more bright areas
