ARRI ALEXA LOOK – ARRI LUT for Sony FX3 / FX30 / A7S III

How to use my LUTs

Sony A7S III S-Log3 to ARRI Film Look

Sony A7S III S-Log3 to ARRI Natural Look

Hello Filmmakers!

Let me introduce you to long awaited Sony A7S III Slog – ARRI LOOK!

Since LUTS have their limitations and they don’t give you  as many possibilities as powergrades, I left a lot of space for contrast and saturation at my discretion.
Remember, it is better to add contrast than to fight with LUT which will not allow you to reduce it. The way i suggest you to do it is using S-Curves.

I’ve created the look with my workflow that I use for my daily work in film production.

With even more better highlight roll-off.

I divided the look into 2 steps. 1. sensor matching -> 2. applying look ,  which gives even better highlight roll- off

 

In this package you will find 2 LUTs custom created by Static Motion.

The first of them is the most film-like appearance (ARRI FILM LOOK) while maintaining the characteristic roll-off and dynamic range. It maintains the skin’s natural color with a look that is known from arri alexa cameras.

It doesn’t require too much. I prepared it so that after aplying to footage recorded in S-Log2, S-Log3, looks good right away. You can add some contrast or saturation but it’s on your side. A7SIII_ARRI_FILM_LOOK.CUBE has saturated red and film blue and green shade.

The second LUT is the same feeling more natural(Rec709) when you want to play with a more aggressive color grading. A7SIII_ARRI_NATURAL(Rec709)_ROLLOFF.cube o color cast simply classic color space ARRI ALEXA.

REMEMBER: With the ability to record 10 bit internal and most importantly Dual ISO and excellent low light performance on the A7S III, there is no reason to record in any other then than S-Log3 profile.

Mind best ISOs are 640ISO, and 12800. Use them to best performance in color grading as well

 

These LUTs work in Final Cut Pro X as well as in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and DaVinci Resolve.
