Phantom Sony
FS7/FS5 LUTs
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 accurately emulates the ARRI Alexa 709 colour science. These LUTs will ensure your highlights roll off smoothly, and gracefully like Film/Alexa and your shadows will be rich and filmic - while still maintaining detail. They are super easy to use and will help you get that cinematic look you’re looking for.

The “ARRI” Looks
The “Film” Looks
The problem with Sony cameras has always been their colours. They offer tremendous dynamic range when shooting in S-Log2 and S-Log3, along with a host of other fantastic features that make them incredibly capable production cameras. But to unlock the full potential of my Sony cameras, I needed to fix the colour and create a faster, more reliable starting point for grading.
I wanted the footage to feel more natural straight away, with better colour separation, smoother highlight roll-off and more pleasing skin tones—without sacrificing the flexibility and dynamic range of Sony’s Log recording.
To achieve this, I designed Phantom LUTs specifically for Sony cameras.
They come in two separate five-packs: the ‘ARRI Look’ Pack and the ‘Film Look’ Pack.
The ARRI Look Pack is designed to provide a clean, natural and cinematic Alexa-inspired starting point, while the Film Look Pack offers a selection of more stylised and filmic looks.
Every LUT comes with dedicated S-Log2 and S-Log3 versions, allowing you to choose the workflow that best suits your footage while maintaining a consistent finished look.
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 ARRI LUTs Described Below:
-
Rebuild of the Alexa Classic 709 LUT
High quality recreation of the legacy ARRI Alexa colour science found in the first generation of Alexa cameras using the ALEV III sensor.
-
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.
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 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.
-
‘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
-
‘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.
-
‘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.
The ‘Film Look’ LUT Pack contains 6 LUTs inspired by real film stocks designed to give your S-Log2 & S-Log3 footage the Film Look. The emulations are based on my own research and subjective impressions of the film stocks listed.
Color Grading with Phantom LUTs
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.

TLDR: 65x LUTs are high-resolution LUTs used for editing in post-production thanks to their high accuracy, while 33x LUTs are used in-camera and for external monitoring due to their compute efficiency and smaller resolution.
65x LUTs are high-quality LUTs that provide a more accurate and precise colour transformation than a standard LUT. They achieve this higher level of colour accuracy by offering more colour values per channel than a standard LUT. Due to their high resolution, 65x LUTs are typically used for colour grading in the NLE of your choice and are, as such, our recommended LUTs for editing (with NLE interpolation set to Tetrahedral).
33x LUTs are still perfectly suitable for editing, though they contain less colour information than their 65x counterparts. Due to their smaller size, 33x LUTs are more efficient and are intended for monitoring, as they often meet the size and computational restrictions for viewing LUTs in-camera or on a monitor. 33x LUTs may be used in certain circumstances (such as live streaming or online media), but due to their simpler construction, they can sometimes lead to image artefacts and are generally not recommended to be baked into footage unless in these specific circumstances.
-
Our recommended NLE (Non-Linear Editing) software for editing your footage is DaVinci Resolve due to its advanced Colour Management capabilities. Whatever your editing software may be, ensure your Colour Space is set to Rec.709, as this is what your LUT will be expecting.
DaVinci Resolve Colour Management Settings
Navigate to Project settings > Color Management, and input the following settings:
Ensure your Color Science is set to: DaVinci YRGB
Set your Timeline Color Space to Rec.709-A for Mac users, Rec.709 Gamma 2.4 for Windows users
Leave Output Color Space set to Same as Timeline
Lastly, ensure 3D lookup table Interpolation is set to Tetrahedral
Adobe Premiere Pro Colour Management Settings
Navigate to Project Settings > General, and set the following settings:
Under the Color Management section, set 3D LUT Interpolation to Tetrahedral
Navigate to Sequence > Sequence Settings, and select the following settings:
In the Video section, ensure that Working Color Space is set to Rec. 709
Ensure Premiere does not Automatically Detect Log Video Color Space:
Navigate to Preferences (or Settings) > General…
Then untick Auto Detect Log Video Color Space
Lastly, ensure that Premiere has not automatically transformed each clip by double checking that Colour Space Override is set to Rec. 709:
Right click the clip and select Modify Clip
Under Interpret Footage set Color Space Override to Rec. 709
Final Cut Pro Colour Management Settings
Navigate to File > Library Properties, and click Modify
In Change the color processing setting for the library ensure Standard Gamut SDR is selected
Once your LUT has been added, ensure that both input and output are set to Rec.709:
In the Custom LUT toolbar, set Input and Output to Rec.709
Ensure that Automatic Color Conform is turned off:
Navigate to Settings…
In General next to HDR: untick Automatic Color Conform
-
Yes, they do!
These LUTs will expect Log footage in the particular Log format associated with your camera and LUT pack. So when loading RAW Video into your NLE (Non-Linear Editor) ensure that you set the output to Log and also set the correct Colour Space (eg. S-Gamut3.Cine/Canon Cinema Gamut etc.)
