And here’s what it looks like when I added a DCI-P3 Fujifilm 3513DI D55 LUT using the technique described in the video above:
Film Look LUT_1 78 2 T

Although I do have my opinions, I’m curious to hear what others think about it. Keep in mind that the bottom example is the LUT itself. I haven’t done any color corrections to it at all, with the exception of adding a broadcast safe node and a node containing the Cineon film log Color Space Transform, as described in the YouTube video. So naturally, I’m not expecting it to be perfect.

I think, despite missing cc, it´s way to blown in the highlights and to bright overall. The light source in the upper region and the entry on the right of this scene wouldn´t accumulate this much brightness. Hence, i don´t think this LUT works.

In my experience, most LUTs are imperfect. With many being either too dark, too bright, too low in contrast, or too heavily saturated in color. So an overly bright LUT like this one is normal. My central aim with this LUT is to give a more cinematic look to the film, and judging from EddieDean’s comment on the screencap looking close to the OT, it sounds like I’ve succeeded.
