Discover the secrets of Film Emulation and elevate your filmmaking skills to new heights by mastering the art of adding the aesthetic of analog film to digitally captured images. Dive deep into the history of image capture on celluloid and learn to create breathtaking visuals that resonate emotionally with your audience. Unlock the full potential of digital images and craft your own iconic cinematic looks.
About this masterclass
This comprehensive course stands out for two key reasons: you’ll learn not only how to emulate film but also why it matters. Gain an understanding of the psychological impact of color on viewers and uncover the foundational elements of cinematic looks using digital emulation technology.
In the practical component, you’ll go beyond off-the-shelf LUTs and filters. You’ll learn how to construct intricate image processing trees that replicate key elements of the film aesthetic, such as modulation transfer function, halation, diffusion, and more.
Starting with DaVinci Resolve’s built-in tools, we’ll progress to industry-standard tools like Look Designer and Grainlab, and ultimately master the cutting-edge Film Emulation tool Filmlab AI, built with the latest AI-driven image analysis techniques. This certification is essential for gaining access to Filmlab AI, which is currently unavailable on the open market.
What You Will Learn
How Film Works
Explore the mechanics of film, its structure, and the photochemical processes that transform light into highly detailed images. The focus will be on the ECN-2 process, a cornerstone of modern film capture.
Elements and Building Blocks of Film Emulated Looks
Analyze the unique qualities that distinguish film-captured images from digital ones. This critical stage will train your eye to recognize the subtle details that define celluloid imagery.
Film Emulation Process and Techniques Using DaVinci Resolve Built-In Tools
Recreate the film aesthetic step-by-step using only the readily available tools in DaVinci Resolve Studio. Develop a foundational node tree to build upon in future modules.
Expanding Looks Using Look Designer and Grainlab
Take your skills beyond the limitations of built-in tools with Look Designer and Grainlab. Access a library of film stocks and explore the industry’s first subtractive emulation to unlock advanced creativity.
