Kodak-2383 Characteristics:
Kodak 2383 is a legendary film emulsion look that is primarily used in color correction and film editing as a reference for a classic, cinematic look. It is known for its characteristic properties that give many cinematic films their distinctive style. Here are the typical characteristics of Kodak 2383:
Warm Skin Tones
Kodak 2383 naturally emphasizes skin tones, giving them a warm, slightly golden hue. This ensures a pleasant and lively representation of faces.
Saturated, Deep Colors
The LUT is characterized by saturated yet natural colors. Red and green tones in particular are intensified without appearing overloaded.
Soft Highlights
The highlights (bright areas of the image) are gently compressed, resulting in a soft, cinematic look. This avoids overexposed areas and the image retains detail in the bright areas.
High-Contrast Look
Kodak 2383 offers a balanced contrast with deep but not too harsh shadows. This gives the image depth and dimension without making it appear too dark or flat.
Cinematic Color Tints
Typical are subtle color tints in the shadows and midtones. Shadows are often slightly bluish, while midtones have a warm, slightly yellowish tint. This creates a harmonious color balance.
Lower Saturation in the Shadows
The shadow areas are less saturated, which contributes to a natural and cinematic look. This prevents dark areas from appearing too dominant or colorful.
Cinematic Feel
Overall, Kodak 2383 creates a timeless, cinematic look reminiscent of classic Hollywood films. It is particularly popular for narrative projects that are intended to have a warm, emotional, and cinematic character.
Fujifilm-3513 Characteristics:
Fujifilm 3513 (also known as Fuji Eterna 3513) is another iconic film emulsion LUT known for its unique, cinematic look. Compared to Kodak 2383, Fujifilm 3513 has a somewhat more modern and cooler character, which is often used in film and video production. The typical characteristics of Fujifilm 3513:
Cooler Color Temperature
Fujifilm 3513 tends towards a slightly cooler, bluish look compared to the warm Kodak 2383. This gives the image a more modern and neutral character.
Natural Skin Tones
Skin tones are reproduced precisely and naturally, without overly strong warm or golden undertones. This makes it particularly suitable for projects that require a realistic and unobtrusive look.
Lower Saturation
The colors are less saturated compared to Kodak 2383 and appear more restrained. This leads to a more subtle and natural color impression.
Soft Contrasts
Fujifilm 3513 is characterized by soft contrasts that make the image appear harmonious and balanced. The shadows are not too deep and the highlights are gently held.
Subtler Color Tints
In contrast to Kodak 2383, which often has warm color tints in the midtones and cool tints in the shadows, Fujifilm 3513 is generally more neutral. Any color tints are subtle and less pronounced.
Modern, Clean Look
Fujifilm 3513 has a modern, almost clinically clean look that is well suited for contemporary projects. It is often used in commercials, music videos and modern films.
Detailed Shadows
The shadow areas retain more detail and appear less contrasty than with Kodak 2383. This ensures a more even brightness distribution in the image.
Technical notes:
The 33 Point Cube LUT version can be loaded directly into the camera or on-camera monitor. And the 65 Point Cube LUT version, which is intended for video editing software.
The Middle Gray value is retained.
Application in the camera as an „Embedded LUT“:
Once the LUT is loaded into the camera, selected and active, the look can be stylistically changed to your wishes and preferences by configuring the white balance and exposure.
Using LUTs when using ND filters:
When using ND filters and variable ND filters, color distortions often occur. Many VND filters have a color tint in the green, blue, yellow, or magenta range. This can be counteracted by fine-tuning the white balance in the camera.
Example:
If the image has a color cast, the white balance value in the fine-tuning should be moved in the opposite direction of the color cast to neutralize the color cast and restore the correct color reproduction of the active LUT. If there is a green color cast, the value of the white balance in the fine-tuning is moved towards magenta and orange.

In short: 65x LUTs are high-resolution LUTs for post-production editing, offering superior accuracy, while 33x LUTs are used for in-camera and monitor viewing due to their efficient processing and smaller size.
65x LUTs provide a more precise color transformation due to a greater number of color values. They are recommended for color grading in your NLE, especially with tetrahedral interpolation.
33x LUTs, while suitable for editing, contain less color information. Their smaller size makes them ideal for monitoring, fitting the constraints of in-camera and monitor displays. They are less recommended for baking into footage, except in specific cases like live streaming.
Briefly: Apply your LUT after exposure/white balance and color adjustments, and before effects.
In detail: The application method is flexible, but a good starting point is:
Create a first node for exposure and white balance.
Use a second node for color adjustments.
Apply the LUT in a third node.
Add effects in a fourth node.
This setup ensures color adjustments precede the LUT, and effects follow, incorporating all prior changes.
Here’s a simple guide:
In Premiere Pro, navigate to Lumetri Color.
Select „Creative.“
Choose your CANARY-ISLANDS-LUT from the „Look“ dropdown.
Applying the LUT in the „Creative“ tab ensures it’s applied after manual adjustments.
DaVinci Resolve is recommended for its advanced color management. Ensure your color space is set to Rec.709.
Detailed settings for DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, and Final Cut Pro are found in the original document.
Ideally, avoid baking LUTs. It’s only recommended for live streaming or low-resolution video. Use 65x LUTs in post-production for optimal quality.
Baking 33x LUTs can limit image quality due to less color information and trilinear interpolation. Post-production grading is also less flexible with baked-in footage.
No, these LUTs are designed for video only, due to differences in RAW image files and Log files.
Viltrox AF 75mm F1.2 Pro was chosen for its exceptional optical quality and smooth bokeh.
