Sony Slog2 Lut S Movies
I’ve been shooting with my new Sony A7S II extensively over the last couple of weeks, and recently developed a LUT that I’ve been using with all of my SLog 3 footage. While I’ve really been enjoying the A7S II, my biggest issue with it so far has been the same as my issue with all of Sony’s other cameras – the color science. Sony is leading the way in mirrorless innovation at the moment, and I respect what they are doing tremendously. But even though they are ahead of the curve in so many ways, their color science is still far behind companies like Blackmagic Design or Canon. That’s not to say you can’t achieve beautiful color results with Sony’s cameras, but rather that you need to work a little harder to get there. On my Blackmagic URSA for instance, if I have exposed my shot properly I am able to drop on a LUT in Resolve or FCP X and the image will look fantastic right away.
With the A7S II on the other hand, I’ve never had perfect results while using Sony’s SLog 3 LUT on any clip that I’ve shot to date. Since I will inevitably be shooting more and more with the A7S II as the months go on, I decided to create a new LUT to use in place of Sony’s standard SLog 3 LUT.
Stainless Extended Regular Font. The goal of course is to save myself a lot of time in the editing room/color suite, and get each shot that much closer to the final look right off the bat. The new LUT that I created was based off of a hybrid of Sony’s SLog 3 LUT and the Arri Alexa LUT, the former of which works surprisingly well with SLog 3 footage. From there, I brought down the mids a touch, made a slight contrast adjustment, and warmed up the midtones slightly. I tend to find Sony’s mids/skintones have a tendency to look cool or at times even purple, so one of my primary goals with this LUT was to eliminate that issue.

As is the case with any LUT, you will still want to fine tune your grade to get it looking perfect, but so far I have found that my new LUT helps me to reach the finish line that much faster.

You might still want to use an Slog3 – Rec 709 LUT to bring the contrast back into your image before applying the creative LUTs in my pack, depending on how you like to work. With regards to Final Cut – there are many plugins available that allow you to load LUTs right inside of the software.
