I am going to be working on a show that will be in Dolby HDR.  I'm planning on using ACES so that the DIT can have an easier time with my LUT, even though I love DaVinci Wide Gamut.  It seems a lot of DIT's are not accepting that yet, and they may never do so.

The DP wants a fuji emulation.  Of course, there's a lot of flavors of that.  And every "emulation," even of the same supposed stock,  is very very different.  I have a few custom power grades, and I've also grabbed one or two from the Juan Melaras site based on a recommendation.  To make the LUT I usually export a CUBE with the necessary nodes turned on.  My plan is to then apply whichever LUT is used on set, but instead with my power grade as a compound node which I can then customize in the final sessions.  

I am curious to know if anyone else has a story or workflow to share to a custom LUT that can be used later in an HDR workflow.

@Bruno Mansi awesome thank you.  

Would love to see a similar course here on Lowe at some point  

Understandable.  I may look into just renting the Sony BVM X300 for HDR jobs.

Still wondering if there's any resources out there for a workflow of HDR deliverables with SDR in mind as a 2nd deliverable.

Hey everyone.  I'm at a facility where my work is solely SDR, but we've been getting more and more work requests for HDR in house.  Normally we book out to larger places like CO3 but obviously more money when we keep it inside, plus HDR grading looks like it's very fun and a necessary skill to have.

We're getting a budget together for an LG CX setup for HDR, and then using our flanders for SDR.

I have been having trouble finding out how to do a proper node setup/project setup in any kind of color managed workflow in terms of grading in HDR, and then making an SDR version after.  I'm not sure if we have the means to afford a Dolby license, but I gather HDR10+ would be good, or simply using a node tree setup with aces or CST nodes would be good?  The main problem is I can't find any good resources on a workflow or setup.  So if anyone has something as a guide that they could share that would be great.

Thanks!
