For Komodo 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 RED Technical 709 LUTs on offer, I have developed a LUT that accurately emulates the ARRI Alexa 709 colour science for RED LOG3G10.

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.

Phantom LUTs are Rec.709 finishing LUTs designed to take your camera’s native Log footage into the Rec.709 colour space, delivering a finished look that emulates the Alexa709 LUT.

These LUTs are super easy to use and will help your LOG footage reach the most pleasing starting point for grading.

A lot of ARRI Alexa users have been utilising Komodos as B or C cams due to their tiny size and incredible features and need a LUT to colour match the 2 camera systems. As well as this, a lot of RED Komodo 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 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 Komodo side by side with matched Sigma Art lenses. 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.

The ARRI 5-Pack

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

The 5 LUTs Described Below:

- Developed to emulate the ARRI Rec709 LUT as close as technically possible.
- Featuring immaculate ARRI-like skin-tone reproduction.
- Drastically Improved colour accuracy with all primary colours and skin tones for a clean, neutral starting point for grading
- A slightly warmer golden cast designed to be utilised for subjects bathed in tungsten light.
- Blue, colder cast with punchy, deep blues (looks amazing on subjects with blue eyes).
- Green and gold cast - distinctive, rich, filmic greens and beautiful golden skintones.
- The most filmic look of the LUTs
- Blood red reds and filmic blues and greens with a slight boost in contrast.
- It’s my personal take on what Utopia would look like.

The FILM 6-Pack

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

The ‘Film Look’ LUT Pack contains 6 LUTs inspired by real film stocks designed to give your RED Footage the Film Look. The emulations are based on my own research and subjective impressions of the film stocks listed.

The 6 Film LUTs Described Below:

‘Vision’ - Modelled on Kodak Vision 5274
- Shot on: The Matrix, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Gladiator
- The most colour accurate stock with accurate blues, slightly cool greens, accurate skin tones which slightly skew pink/gold
- Strong contrast and filmic subtractive colour model in saturation
- Gentle roll off and rich, smooth fall off in shadows
- Skews green in shadow areas and when underexposed
- Classic film character but less stylised than any other stock
‘Eastman’ - Modelled on Kodak Eastman 5247
- Shot on: Apocalypse Now, Bladerunner, Alien, ET
- Vintage, dated Kodak look and feel.
- Saturation strongest in mids and falls off in shadows and highlights.
- Greens skew warm, blues slightly turquoise, gold/pink skin-tones.
- Smoother contrast than modern stocks.
‘Vision Teal’ - Variation on Kodak Vision 5274
- Subtle Orange/Teal colour scheme.
- More stylised version of ‘ Vision’. Less realistic - ‘prettier’.
- Greens are slightly warmer, blues slightly turquoise and skin more golden.
- Overall lift in saturation and contrast compared to ‘Vision’ but still balanced.
- Can elevate a dull scene with its look but not overpower a rich scene.
‘Eastman RM’ - Variation on Kodak Eastman 5247
- Classic Eastman Look but modernised (Orange & Teal)
- Greener in cast than the more magenta original Eastman 5247
- Modelled on the Re-Graded versions of classic films from 70s & 80s
‘Eterna’ - Modelled on Fuji Eterna 8563
- Shot on: Captain Phillips, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, The Butler
- Overall smoother contrast and rolloff compared to Kodak.
- Rich but not overpowering colours and saturation characteristics.
- My go-to for Fashion and Beauty but can work with almost anything.
- Very flattering skin-tones.
- Greens are cool and rich, skin is golden, blues skew turquoise and modern, colour accurate yellows compared to Kodak.
‘Bleach’ - Modelled on Fujifilm Super F 8552
- Shot on: Munich, War of The Worlds, Crash
- Modelling the Bleach Bypass process for strong contrast and low saturation.
- Aggressive, gritty look - halfway between black and white and colour film.
- Great for War Films, Crime, Urban Fashion.
- Works especially well with heavy film grain.

What Exactly Are LUTs?

A LUT (Look-Up Table) is a file containing a predefined set of mathematical instructions to transform colors in an image or video. In filmmaking, LUTs are essential for converting flat, low-contrast log footage into a rich, cinematic image. They are the fastest and most consistent way to achieve a professional color grade, but their quality is determined by the precision of their creation.

While most LUTs are simple color presets, Phantom LUTs are professional-grade conversion tools built on a foundation of scientific accuracy. We are trusted by filmmakers worldwide because our process is unmatched:
- Calibrated Against the ARRI Alexa Gold Standard: We don’t guess; we calibrate. Every Phantom LUT is meticulously developed over months by shooting charts and scenes side-by-side with our in-house ARRI Alexa camera. We profile each camera system (Sony, Canon, etc.) to perfectly emulate the Alexa’s legendary color science, organic skin tones, and cinematic highlight roll-off. This process ensures a true, high-end filmic look, not just a filter.
- Perfectly Balanced, Natural Skin Tones: As a direct result of our Alexa-based calibration, our primary focus is on producing natural and pleasing skin tones that hold up across various lighting conditions, a common failure point for generic LUTs.
- Cinematic Tonality & Color: Achieve the smooth highlight roll-off, clean shadows, and rich color separation that define high-end cinema—because our LUTs are born from it.
- Time-Saving Workflow Efficiency: Drastically speed up your post-production by applying a technically perfect and aesthetically beautiful base grade instantly. Your footage will look better, faster.
We develop conversion and creative LUTs for the cameras and log formats used by today's leading filmmakers. This ensures a unified look on multi-camera shoots and a seamless editing experience.
- Sony LUTs: Expertly crafted for S-Log2, S-Log3.
- Canon LUTs: Precision-built for C-Log, C-Log2, and C-Log3.
- Panasonic LUTs: Perfectly tuned for V-Log to achieve that signature look.
- RED LUTs: Fully compatible with the IPP2 workflow and REDWideGamutRGB/Log3G10.
- Blackmagic LUTs: Designed for Gen 4 & Gen 5 Film color science.
- ARRI LUTs: The industry standard for converting Log C footage from Alexa cameras.
