Flat, low-contrast footage that preserves dynamic range for grading.
Log (logarithmic) footage looks washed-out and grey straight from camera because it stores a wide range of highlight and shadow detail. It is meant to be graded — a technical LUT or manual work restores normal contrast and color. Log gives the colorist maximum flexibility.
Color grading is where technical precision meets creative vision — learn the foundational theory that makes every decision intentional.
LUTs are powerful tools when used correctly, but understanding what they can and cannot do will save your grades from looking flat or overcooked.
