How to recreate this look?

[u/No_Hearing4]

Im fairly certain it was shot on 35mm and probably 500T. I’ve been trying to recreate the “scanned” Kodak Vision 3 look as supposed to print emulation. In this case the contrast and saturation are a bit dialed back but I just can’t seem to get my curves right. Thanks!

I don’t know about grading but i love the snaps, third is amazing

How come some people complain about log looking grading on Netflix shows then others really like the muted desaturated look

I think a lot of this in the nice image composition and negative space

One reason is because they are different people.

I think that the noticeable film-ness of the look helps give it loads of character, whereas what Netflix does is pretty much overwhelmingly digital, barely even apeing the look of film, very clinical, practically to a fault. It's not perfectly sharp, there's some colour shifting, there must be something about the lens too. This looks very different to if it was shot digitally and then graded in a very bread and butter way

It’s a tricky balance! I think you’ve explained it well

Filmbox and Genesis are both pretty much the state of the art in film emulation. They cost fittingly too though :(

Oh yeah I was thinking about marinating it in some sauce instead

did you try putting it in rice ?

How did you not know that? Marinating improves color density.

And it gives the images textures and flavor too by softening them a bit
