I’m really liking the Q&A like format as you respond to stuff - keep it up! 👍

Awesome!! I love it, when you go technical - wouldn’t mind a little more of this… One specific question: As a DP I‘ve been creating my own looks for a while. How would I go about creating Show LUTs for on-set monitoring with different cameras? I‘m mostly using Blackmagic cameras, but sometimes we also have to work with Sony or REDs. Additionally I‘m using a pre-made pulldown-LUT that I would have to combine with the creative show LUT.

[@BarrettKaufman]

Yep! For an on set lut you would need to combine the creative choices and a technical transformation to display space Just make sure that you're happy with that transform, because you should probably also use it in the grade for consistency

Hey great video! Do you have any recommendations on where to find quality LUTs?

[@BarrettKaufman]

@@joshforth It's a struggle lol. I wish there was one great place to point to It's been a slow-process for me over time with testing and adjusting. Much of the time I'm just building my own In the future I hope to demo how I do LUT testing 👍🏻

Please direct me to a tutorial to set up entire project/color management to use node base so I can take advantage of various drt’s…. Thanks

Like Josh said: what is a good place for finding high quality creative LUTS? Most of the 'high quality' ones I have actually require Arri Log-C or Red log as an input and output straight to rec709. Also Curious about the right workflow in using Davinci wide gamut intermediate

[@BarrettKaufman]

If you are referring to the official Arri looks, they should also be available without the 709 transformation on Arri's website. There should be a version that stays within arri logc Just be aware that many of them will have exposure shifts
