Best Film Looks for Video
Print stocks and flat negative profiles, applied the way colourists actually apply them.
Film emulation for video works differently from stills. The convention is to correct footage to a neutral Rec.709 base first, then apply a print stock emulation as the final node — the print stock supplies the contrast curve audiences read as cinematic. Applying a still-film look directly to ungraded footage generally does not work, because those looks assume a normal photographic starting point.
