The Go-To LUT
My fast, reliable “almost one-click” way to get the colors I love—every time.
Why I Made This
Color grading used to slow me down more than anything else. Every shoot looked different depending on lighting, lenses, or the time of day—and I kept chasing a look I liked without ever landing on something consistent.
So I built The Go-To LUT.
This is the look I reach for on almost every video I make: clean contrast, pleasing color, and skin tones that match my personal taste. Sometimes it really is one click. Other times it’s the perfect base to build on. Either way, it gets me there faster.
How It Works
The Go-To LUT is designed to sit cleanly on well-exposed Rec.709 footage or properly converted LOG footage. It adapts easily across different lighting situations without crushing shadows or blowing out highlights.
It adds subtle depth and color separation for a balanced, finished look—without feeling heavy or overdone. This isn’t about technical color accuracy; it’s about getting my preferred look quickly and consistently.
