How to get "film look" on Epic for cinema?

[Maxi Claudio]

I asked this same question 20+ years ago in a suite at the American Film Market to the President of DeLuxe Labs, Bud Stone. He said it was lighting.

Or just a 60 year old Angie... Or whatever glass you have and shoot and light for what you have...

No sarcasm here.
YOU define your own cinema look. As soon as people go to cinema to watch your movie, you have that "film look".

cameras arent magic boxes that make everyone a DP..

production design, lighting, makeup, costumes, props.. all these things go into making it have a "look"

but most importantly, since we are talking about the photography... its all about lighting..

Just a quick hint:

What I always do in Davinci Resolve is to put a film-out LUT on the first node.
My LUTs are generated with THX Cinespace and mimic a film print on Kodak stock.
I think you can get some free LUTs on http://www.lightillusion.com/
or here: http://www.arri.com/camera/digital_c...generator.html
The red footage is always decoded with REDlog film.

Like this you have a good starting point for grading as the process is similar as if you would work with scanned film in LOG space which will be printed on film.
Most feature films are made like this. Even when they are released on DCP the whole grading is set up with a LUT simulating a 35mm release print. For the DCP the look gets baked in.

Here's something I did which to me gave it a bit of a "filmic" look, in my opinion. Dropped my saturation and boosted contrast, went into the luminance curve and after that played with the red channel. I started off in red log and white balanced off a grey card. Played a bit with the grain look on redcine as well. Started in redcolor3/redlogfilm.

The "film look" is often oversimplified. What makes something look cinematic, something that we attribute to those great movies we have seen over the years is a perfect storm of all departments working in perfect harmony to create indelible images that get imbedded deep into our psyche so that when we see something that doesn't quite have that same impact on us, we are well aware of it.

WELL said.

Okay. If 'film look' means 'as opposed to interlaced video,' then the answer is easy and has been available for decades: frame rate. The lower the frame rate, the more the 'film look'.

Sure, there are lots of nuances. But mere particulars such as grain, contrast, DOF (heaven forbid that this cow is not sacred!), frame float, shutter angle, exposure, resolving power, lighting etc. have almost nothing to do with the film look as I've defined it above.

Keep in mind that film has subtle properties such as dynamic resolving power: the lower the contrast, the lower the resolving power (within limits). Just another reason why I love film, despite being more and more pro-digital for pragmatic reasons. Sigh.
