Sony | Phantom Luts ((better))

Enter —a premium set of emulation LUTs created by filmmaker Joel Famularo. These LUTs have become the gold standard for filmmakers looking to instantly transform clinical Sony sensors into rich, organic, filmic masterpieces.

Sony Phantom LUTs offer a fast path to a stylized, high-contrast cinematic look optimized for Sony log captures. Use them as starting points—apply technical conversions first, correct exposure/white balance, then layer creative Phantom LUTs and finish with targeted corrections for reliable, filmic results.

Use the Lumetri Color panel to apply the 65x LUT to your footage.

Joel Famularo offers several distinct packages of Phantom LUTs, each tailored for a specific aesthetic or shooting environment. 1. The Arri Look Profile sony phantom luts

While Sony provides official technical Look-Up Tables (LUTs) to convert S-Log3 to standard Rec.709, many filmmakers find the default conversion looks harsh, digital, and overly saturated in the highlights.

Whether you are shooting on an , FX3 , FX6 , or even a ZV-E1 , these LUTs provide a mathematically accurate conversion that transforms flat, gray log footage into vibrant, professional visuals with a single click. What Are Phantom LUTs?

Phantom LUTs bridge this quality gap by serving as a scientific bridge between Sony sensors and the industry-standard ARRI color palette. To develop these profiles, the creator captured side-by-side technical charts and real-world scenes using an ARRI Alexa camera and various Sony systems.

While older S-Log workflows often required overexposing by +1.7 to +2.0 stops, Phantom LUTs are built to be exposed closer to "by eye" or matched to the camera’s internal Gamma Display Assist.

: Each LUT is meticulously calibrated against side-by-side footage from an ARRI Alexa to match its natural contrast, smooth highlight roll-off, and rich color separation. Monitoring on Set

: Shoot in S-Log3 to maximize dynamic range. Set white balance carefully (e.g., 5,500K for daylight) as LUTs are sensitive to color temperature shifts.

: Apply the LUT in the "Creative" or "Browse" section of Lumetri. Ensure "Auto Detect Log Video Color Space" is turned off to prevent Premiere from double-processing the footage. Technical Settings : Set your 3D LUT Interpolation to Tetrahedral for smoother color gradations. 4. Monitoring on Set
