JUAN MELARA – FilmUnlimited PowerGrades – Flexible Film Emulation

WHAT IS FILMUNLIMITED?

FilmUnlimited is a collection of Resolve 17/18 PowerGrades emulating Kodak 5207 250D and Kodak 5219 500T film. It’s a full PowerGrade rebuild of the negative film stocks I shot and profiled in November 2018 and January 2021.

Designed for Davinci YRGB color science. And as of December 8 2022, now rebuilt for native Resolve Colour Managed (RCM) workflows. RCM versions designed for the Davinci Wide Gamut/Davinci Intermediate colour space/gamma.

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

FILMUNLIMITED POWERGRADES

• NEW: Now updated to work in RCM workflows.

• Two negative film stock emulations: Kodak 5207 250D and Kodak 5219 500T.
• Physically accurate halation emulation (currently only available in the YRGB PowerGrade). You asked for it, here it is.
• Realistic grain and gate weave emulation.
• Two core versions of the Kodak 2383 Print Film Emulation LUT: original and a modified Finished variation. The Finished variation is a compilation of the most common modifications I make to the 2383 LUT. It allows for deeper richer colours whilst avoiding over-saturation.
  Both core versions are available in 3 different curves: Standard, Middle Grey and Rec709. And the standard and middle grey versions have a zero black level (0BL) variation that allows the black levels to touch zero luma. The differences between curves and when to use them are covered in the usage instruction videos.
• Designed for Davinci YRGB and RCM colour science workflows. Fully colour managed via node based colour management or project level RCM. Not compatible with ACES.
• Usage instruction videos: Installation (4min), YRGB Nodegraph breakdown & Usage (18min), RCM Installation, Nodegraph breakdown & Usage (10min)
