Cinematic Look: Film emulation 101

Описание: Does your footage feel "thin" or digital? You don’t need a better camera. You need to understand the physics of the image.
we are stripping away the marketing hype and the LUTs to break down the exact ingredients that make an image look cinematic. We aren't just talking about color grading; we are assessing the "DNA" of film stock—from the way contrast rolls off, to the difference between simple saturation and true color density.
If you want to move beyond "filters" and start understanding the science of film emulation, this video is the foundation you need.
In this video, we cover:
• Contrast vs. Brightness: Why "crushing the blacks" is the wrong approach.
• Saturation vs. Density: Why your colors look digital (and how to give them weight).
• Color Separation: Creating depth without relying on shallow focus.
• Optical Texture: Understanding how lenses flaws (Vignette, Blur, Bokeh) add realism.
• Film Emulation: The role of Halation, Bloom, and Grain in removing the "digital edge."
