hey man, solid video! curious what camera the test footage was shot on, & one last thing what's the background music it's so calm haha cheers!

[@MicahPowell]

Hey Ahmed! thanks for the support! So every shot in this video was shot on the Sony A7Siii. oh and the background music throughout the entire video is "Lunar Glow" by Ookean. i think its on epidemic sound

[@devontewright5479]

[@v.8284]

really an mazing vid man :)

[@inevitableexchange3952]

Wow LUT's are amazing just what i need with children and no time to edit! I would be all in if they made these for the Sony NEX-5T.

[@Praveshkumar-mh5sj]

Make more content, you're doing great

[@jarrodbarker]

I cannot tell if it's a KZbin thing, but when you say "you really can't tell a difference" on the card sheet clip, there are several colors, including cyan, that look as though they need to be denser and with a bit more saturation. If that's the case it's fine, but if you're buying a $50 LUT that is exclusively billed as a 1 to 1, than you really shouldn't have to tweak it up much after purchasing. Just my thoughts.

[@Laertesthebarber76]

best luts ever

[@MicahPowell]

For real man! They really are

[@shinichifukushima189]

Cool video😊

[@VestigeOfFate]

Hey. What is your lighting setup? Inside it looked really beautiful.

[@TheSteveKinney]

I've been pretty under impressed with these Luts, everyone talks about them like they are all the range.. they are cool.. not worth the price I paid for them though..... great video mate! you wouldn't happen to know how to convert them to a Rec709 Lut? and/or how to get them to work with a monitor like the Feelworld Lut6 for viewing? Always causes an error.

[@LasseDorumsgaard]

I agree. They are nice, but not worth the price!

[@researchproject034]

@@LasseDorumsgaard What makes them not so worth the price? Just curious

[@LasseDorumsgaard]

@@researchproject034 I just think they are overpriced. They are good, but Should be 20 bucks imo! And in my experience, you always have to fine tune, and sometimes even start from scratch to get the colors the way you want it. Specially for bigger productions with a lot of footage.

Your audio sounds super! How did you process your dialog audio in post?

[@MicahPowell]

Thanks so much! It’s nothing super special, I just add a multiband compressor with the preset in premiere pro titled “broadcast” and then I tweak it from there.

[@maxor1986]

Really great tips, going to check out Phantom luts! :) Are you using OCIO color space?

[@ruff1draft]

Micah thanks for this information and video. I intend to purchase the Sony A74 and maybe two of them or the Sony A7S3 alongside the Sony A74.Going to use the Phantom Luts for these camera's. Also the Panasonic S5 and Panasonic S1h and Panasonic gh5s to use with the GHAlex lut.

[@MicahPowell]

Thank you!!

[@icecreaman2010]

They should make the luts for red komodo camera.

[@Emiliotakas]

Great video!! On your talkng head which version of the Phantom Luts did you use?

[@MicahPowell]

Hey! Thanks for watching!!!! On all the talking head shots, I used the “Jamaica” lut.

[@Emiliotakas]

@@MicahPowell Thank you Micah! It was a pleasure to watch. Keep going and create more videos!!

[@227rootbeer]

Good Video!

[@Mr.StealYoCat]

Can u upload these to the FX3... So it like bakes in the lut to the video?

[@MicahPowell]

no you can't, and tbh I would recommend doing that if you could, because you still have to adjust exposure white balance and just overall correct the imag

[@cineplus-ch]

Overexposing slog3 is bad because you lose 2 stops in the highlights and you destroy skin tones, skins look horrible with yellow and pink spots. So with these amazing new sensors, i would follow his suggestion to expose normally, saving highlights and skin tones using the intra 10 bit 4:2:2 codec

[@themarksmanABP]

Hey mate, ive just started shooting slog 3 this week and rying to understand it... I use gamma assist, with these luts, would you rec that I aim for 0.0 in the exposure metering instead of +1.3-2.0?

[@qiyuxuan9437]

I think it depends. For outdoor day scene, normal expoaure is better, since you wanna protect those highlights, and there are few dark area in the frame. But for night scenes, there are few highlight spots, and those tends to be strong light source anyway, so overexposing them is fine, by overexposing a bit, and bring it back in post, you are getting cleaner shadows, which can cover large portion of the frame in night scene.

[@Because_Reasons]

Great video :)

[@yomow10]

Great info. Do you know if the LUTs will work with the Sony alpha 1?

[@SamuelOrf]

I’ve used them in the a1 and fx3 and they work great! Definitely my base conversion kit for pretty much everything.

[@AstralxProd]

For the A1 use the FX6 luts

[@JDAfrica]

Would these work for canon footage?

[@MicahPowell]

Hey JD sorry took me so long to respond to this, unfortunately Joel only sells the luts compatible with Sony, black magic, and arri Alexa cameras. He doesn’t currently have any support for canon.

[@AirsoftMan69]

what's the music

[@timg027]

Were you using a mist filter for the talking head shots? How about for the example shots with the LUTS applied?

[@MicahPowell]

hey! so all of the shots of me talking i was using the Cinebloom filter by moment. just made a video about that btw (shameless plug)XD but for all of the example shots i did not have the filter on, so no mist filter on those.

[@anthonythorne8708]

Fun, informative video. I agree with others here, you should have more subscribers than you do. Subbed and keep up the great work.

[@jeffwongdesign]

Thanks for the info-I'll probably grab it as well, thank you! What bloom filter are you using? It's very bloomy. (just curious)

[@MicahPowell]

hey Jeff! thanks for watching the video! so all the shots that are showing off the luts are not using a bloom filter, however the talking head shots are all shot with the 20% Cinebloom filter by Moment. looking back at it, i definitely think its too bloomy. i think I'm gonna pick up the %5 cinebloom filter

[@jeffwongdesign]

@@MicahPowell it’s all good-stick with your style. I wasn’t judging. I’m just beginner learning. I’ve got my fx3 on order… I’m hoping to put your tips to work soon. Thank you!

[@MicahPowell]

@@jeffwongdesign Oh no man, I didn’t think you were! That’s awesome I freaking love the FX3 it’s a amazing camera! I bet you’re excited to get that!And these luts are really great for beginners as well!!

[@SHOTBYLEWWUTITDEW]

what exact grain did you use on the head shots bro??

[@MicahPowell]

Sorry for the super late reply, I didn't see this :( honestly I can't remember, I think I just downloaded 35mm film grain and overlayed it on my footage. sorry :((((

[@JuliaLee_]

For the beginning of your video are you using one of his LUX for the soft dreamy affect?

[@MicahPowell]

Hey, thanks so much for watching my video! Actually, for that look I am using a moment Cinebloom filter I actually met a KZbin video about it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWTJeJKVfd-aY5I

[@JuliaLee_]

@@MicahPowell appreciate the response! thank you

[@tjwalus]

Could this theoretically work on the Sony A6300 if I used the right settings (Basically use the same settings like Slog3 and Cine3 that you would otherwise use on a Sony A7)??????

[@MicahPowell]

Not entirely sure since I don’t have that setup. However I do recall the the Sony a6300 doesn’t have the full 14 stops of dynamic range required for slog 3 so if you do want to try out these luts, I would make sure you get the “legacy” version that supports slog 2. They are meant to be used with pre a7S3 cameras.

[@tjwalus]

@@MicahPowell Thank you homie, Ill look into it!

do you use the ari luts for a clean look?

yeah man! the arri luts really gives the shot an "unedited" look which for some things can be really great

[@ishfaq2634]

[@raw-bproduction]

Did you just apply the lut on the raw footage or did you modify others colorimetrics settings too ?

[@fixxoo5880]

Hey thank for the vid, what lenses did you use for your tests ?

[@MicahPowell]

Hey! Thanks for watching this video! So as of rn I only have the 24-70 Gmaster from Sony. Which is what all of this was shot on

[@joshuafcenters]

I got the luts but with my blue light background I cant seem to get that really good color. It requires a lot of tweaking.

[@matiasbenavidesdigitalvisu9511]

love the background music, where I can find it?

[@FSLL209]

so we do not have to overexpose for any of these luts?

[@MicahPowell]

Hey! thanks for watching my video! sorry for not elaborating on this further. So Joel states you don't need to overexpose with the new sony sensors (FX3 & A7SIII) simply because of the low noise floor. I think this makes sense, however, when you are shooting at higher ISOs (take a night shoot for example) I think it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to overexpose by +1.7 Stops. to reduce the amount of noise in the shadows. while the new sensors are extremely clean, they still fall apart at higher ISOs. so again Bright shoots at base iso (for a7s3 and fx3 is iso 640) no need to overexpose. for darker shoots at any iso higher than 1200 id say overexpose by +1.7 stops

[@anubis2006noe]

I’m wondering if I need to use SGamut or SGamutCine on my FX6. These luts get blown out using SGamutCine. Better to use just regular SGamut?
