    Ok great, thank you! So the normalization process going from a a logarithmic file to linear is done in the color space conversion, while the DRT's offer some chroma and contrast adjustments?

    Thank you so much for your detailed explanation. If the normalization (Log --> 709) already is done by setting the working color space to Log ( Arri LogC WideGamut) and viewing space to Red 709, I don't understand why the Photometric DRT should be applied to do the exact same thing? By doing the exact same thing I mean normalizing the Log image like an official ARRI LUT would have done.

    Hi! I need to normalize log material and I wonder if that can be done by transforming the material from one color space to another inside of Baselight or if I need / should apply a DRT. Any thoughts? Abby

    Nice to see that such good looking shows are colored in Mistika!

    I read in the Oblivion article that @Mike Sowa looks at the trailer as a mini version of the movie. That's quite an interesting thought. I know colorists who like to hang the master shots on the wall to see how everything match. A more digital friendy way to do this is to create a timeline with the master shots and use a lightbox feature.

    Great insight @Dylan R. Hopkin! I like to keep it clean, and I prefer not to use plugins unless I need to. I remember the first versions of Resolve and how slow the NR was. I haven't gotten into the feature since the original version because it gave such a bad impression. The feature was überslow and made the system crash every time. It could be quite interesting if BMD could make grain that can compete with the real grain plates out there.

    Thank you, great article!

    Personally, I like that the shots jumps between different time, colors, and luma levels.

    The devil is in the contrast, but you could be limited by poor dynamic range as you're not working on the original material. That said, I think you've done a great job! Congratulations, I'm looking forward to see your next project!

    The first thing to consider when approaching a look like this is the exposure. With higher luma levels you will get access to a color palette that is closer to the orignal look. I would also pay attention to the nice and rich contrast that is missing in your image. Give it another try and come back, ok? Abby
