I use it in camera and in the grade for consistent, natural results. I performed extensive tests against the Alexa to create one LUT for the BMPCC4K that achieves a comparable colour response, accurate skin tones and smoother highlight rolloff. When I shoot with the Alexa, I use the one Arri Rec 709 LUT. ![]() ![]() The highlight roll off felt too severe, the skin tones were out, it added an odd ‘brown-ness’ to the image, it didn’t reflect what I was seeing on set. I found Blackmagic Design’s recommended BMPCC4K LUT rather underwhelming. This LUT takes the confusion and guess work out of getting natural colours from the BMPCC4K. The 55M PXK LUT is also quite nice, I liked the light levels, however it was rather desatured and looked a little ‘bleak’, again it could be fixed with saturation I am sure. 55M PXK Advanced Color 55M PXK Advanced Colorĥ5M PXK Advanced Color provides never seen before color accuracy combined with a filmic look for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K. It also is the only option eliminating gamut clipping. Not much colour cast, just a neutral look. I found the LBK LUT to actually be pretty consistent and give nice results, if not a tad ‘hot’ for my tastes, but easy to dial down. It has a nice glossy look, but therefore does not show the last bit of details in highlights (they are there but very low contrast for a smooth roll-off). This LUT is almost neutral to the colors in any way, it handles mixed light situations quite well, the highlights roll-off increasingly de-saturated like analog film. The goal was to get a natural looking image with most of the dynamic range intact, beautiful skin tones and a nice highlight roll-off. LBK Neutral Hi DeSat v10 LBK Neutral Hi DeSat v10 I filmed this in CinemaDNG on the OG BMPCC, imported into Resolve using Color Science Gen 4, applied a few basic corrections for WB and Exposure, to give the LUTs the best chance, then slapped on the LUTs without any touches. ![]() So in the footage above or at THIS link if you can’t see it for some reason, I created a basic scenario by filming some day to day clips, doing basic corrections and then applying the respective LUTs to see which one gives the most pleasing one click look.
