Coloristos #16 "What the LUT?"

The Coloristos ColorCast

In this Episode of the ColorCast, the Coloristos talk about LUTs and their use in post-production. They cover the basics of 1D and 3D LUTs, including how they're built, their various applications in a post pipeline, and the requirements for using them correctly. They also discuss the origins of LUTs from their early application as a film color science tool, to their more recent, wide-spread use as a way to transfer, as well as commercialize, creative looks for use in color grading. The Coloristos ColorCast is a monthly podcast about Film and Television Color Grading, Color Science, and Post-Production. If you're interested or involved in color grading, finishing, and digital intermediate post-production, this show is for you. The Coloristos are: Josh Petok, a colorist working on reality and episodic television in Los Angeles. Juan Salvo, a colorist and online editor for films and commercials in New York. Jason Myres, a colorist and post-production engineer in Los Angeles.
