These LUTs follow on from the hugely popular URBAN CHROME and URBAN STONE Lightroom Preset series and are stylistically designed to creatively enhance the cinematic feel of urban scenes, found around the world.

Best practices
Best practices
Not all cameras are created equally, with some manufacturers applying more colour processing than others. For best results, apply these creative LUTs to footage with natural/flat colour profiles (lower contrast, sharpening and saturation) and tweak exposure and LUT strength settings as necessary.
Log footage will require intial conversion adjustments to rec709 levels and colour space via official technical LUTs available from your camera manufacturer. Once converted, these creative LUTs will offer consistent colour tonality and hues.
Using apps such asFiLMiC Pro or Moment Camera offer the best options for footage captured on a smartphone.
Due to the more restrictive nature of video formats, over RAW photography, the highest attention should be made to capturing accurate exposure and white balance settings, in-camera at the time of filming, specific to your camera's best shooting practice.
Every scene is different, so further tweaking and experimentation may be needed when applying these LUTs between scenes.
