Don’t Just Grade Your Footage. Craft It. With the Dave Cole Blackmagic LUT Pack.
From the Colorist of Dune, The Batman, and Life of Pi: Transform Your Blackmagic RAW into Cinematic Gold.
Step beyond generic looks and into the realm of true cinematic color grading. Filmmakers Academy, in collaboration with renowned senior colorist Dave Cole, is proud to present a meticulously crafted LUT pack designed to unlock the full potential of your Blackmagic camera system. This isn’t just another collection of presets. This is a gateway to the nuanced, sophisticated color palettes that define Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters.
Dave Cole, the visionary colorist behind iconic films like Dune, The Batman, and Life of Pi, has poured his decades of experience into these LUTs. He’s painstakingly engineered them to work seamlessly with Blackmagic Design Wide Gamut Gen 5 Film (exposed for 800 ISO), outputting to the industry-standard BT.1886 (Rec.709 with 2.4 gamma).
| Important Usage Note: For optimal results and to maintain maximum detail, ensure the “Highlight Retention” box is checked in your grading software (e.g., DaVinci Resolve) when applying these LUTs. |
This means you get a perfect, professional-grade starting point for your color grade, every time. These are precision instruments, meticulously crafted by a true artist. You’re getting two distinct pathways:
The “Pure Vision” LUT (fa_bmdwggen5film_to_bt1886_v02.cube):
This is your blank canvas, reimagined. It’s a clean, idealized transformation of your Blackmagic footage, providing the perfect foundation for your unique creative grade. No pre-baked looks, just pure, unadulterated cinematic potential, ready for you to sculpt.
The “Hollywood Legacy” LUT (fa_sonymatch_bmdwggen5film_to_bt1886_v02.cube):
Inspired and derived from Shane Hurlbut, ASC’s color science that built a custom Sony LUT, this is your shortcut to a rich, textured, undeniably Hollywood look. It’s meticulously adapted and perfected for your Blackmagic camera, making it the essence of cinematic style, distilled into a single click.
This is your chance to bypass years of trial and error and tap directly into the color science that defines modern cinema. Don’t just grade your footage. Craft it. Transform it. Make it unforgettable.
