As I've said before on other threads, I am not a fan of S-CINETONE, but on the FX6 there is really no other option except S-LOG3, which isn't appropriate for a lot of shoots. So, I've created two custom LUTs to to quickly help me get better-looking images from my Sony FX6 -- when I do NOT want to shoot with S-LOG3. I'm making them available free to anyone who wants to use them. I'm calling them "S-CINETONE BOOSTERS" because they make it faster and easier for anyone (especially clients) to quickly improve their S-CINETONE footage. I'm pretty sure they are compatible with S-CINETONE footage that has been shot with any Sony camera that has an S-CINETONE shooting mode, but I confess I have not actually tested them outside the FX6. Just to be clear, the LUTs are NOT monitor LUTs for the camera. These LUTs are designed to be applied to S-CINETONE footage in post with Resolve, Premiere, Final Cut Pro, and any other NLE that allows you to import custom LUTs.
I'm teaching a 5-day Interview Lighting workshop in Maine next month that will give me some sample footage of human faces indoors. I'll post an update video after I've had the chance to use the LUTs on more people. Maybe a third LUT will be forthcoming. We'll see.
