Phantom LUTs for Panasonic Lumix S1H S5II V-Log

For S1H/S5 and S5II users who need to colour match with an ARRI Alexa, want more creative choices for their post workflow or who are unsatisfied with the standard Panasonic Conversion 709 LUTs on offer, I have developed a LUT that accurately emulates the ARRI Alexa 709 colour science for Panasonic V-Log + V-Gamut.

Along with the emulation LUT, there are 4 creative variation LUTs that come with it packaged as an ARRI LUT 5 Pack.

For the nostalgic among you, I have also developed 6 Film Emulation LUTs that each emulate film stocks from the past.

There are versions for both the S5/1H and the S5II included when you purchase.

*Note - Both ARRI and Film Emulation Packs come with S1H/S5 and S5II versions included.

While the above video doesn’t directly show Panasonic footage, the Panasonic versions of the film LUTs will give identical results. All of the Film LUTs for each camera are built on the back of the Alexa Emulation for that camera. And all of the Alexa emulation LUTs are all modelled on the single Alexa Mini sensor.

A lot of Panasonic users have emailed me describing their dissatisfaction with the native colours coming out of their camera. To address these issues, I decided to develop a LUT to emulate my Alexa mini using the tried and true process I developed with Sony, Canon, DJI and Blackmagic & RED cameras. While no camera is perfect, personally I find the Alexa’s colour science to be the gold standard in terms natural, accurate and beautiful colours right out of the box as a starting point to grade from.

Over the course of a few days, I shot exposure matched test footage with my Alexa mini and a S1H side by side with matched Sigma Art lenses and zero NDs used. I shot in sunlight, shadow, overcast, indoor daylight, indoor mixed lighting, controlled studio lighting and all with my trusty Xrite Colour Checker Classic Card and my Xrite Digital Color Checker SG Card.

In total I shot approximately 80 scenes this way. With each set up I recorded 3 exposures - under 2 stops over 2 stops and correct exposure. With the extensive data gathered, I was able to build an emulation that is extremely accurate; factoring in not just the overall colour response but also the more subtle aspects of the Alexa colour science that it borrowed from photochemical film such as it’s non linear hue responses for rich, complex colours, subtractive colour modeling in relation to luminance vs saturation dynamics and the Alexa’s overall saturation profile for beautiful highlight rolloff and shadow falloff to name a few.
