About

CinePrint Studio is a collection of film emulation PowerGrades & LUTs that allows filmmakers and colorists to accurately recreate authentic celluloid film looks.

The film emulations were developed by Los Angeles based cinematographer Tom Bolles in an extensive camera test of various film stocks and digital cameras shot in August, 2025.

The PowerGrades come in .drx format for use in Davinci Resolve, while the LUTs are compatible with any software that supports the standard .cube LUT format, such as Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro X, Avid Media Composer, Davinci Resolve, and more.

All of the film for CinePrint Studio was developed and scanned at Fotokem, the very same film lab that all major productions shooting on film in Hollywood go to. Fotokem is the film lab used by many iconic movies still shooting on film such as: The Odyssey, One Battle After Another, Sinners, Oppenheimer, The Hateful Eight, Anora, Licorice Pizza, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Interstellar, and more. Using Fotokem as the film lab for CinePrint Studio ensures the photochemical & scanning color science of the emulations are of the highest, industry standard quality.

Compatibility

The PowerGrades are 100% native to Davinci Resolve. No additional plug-ins or resources required. They are compatible with the MacOS, Windows, and iPad versions of Davinci Resolve.

The LUT version is compatible with editing software like Adobe Premiere, FCPX, Avid, and more.

The YRGB PowerGrades are designed for standard Rec.709 workflows.

The Color Managed PowerGrades enable use with HDR displays and workflows.

All the PowerGrades use DaVinci Wide Gamut / Intermediate timeline color space.

FILM STOCKS

CinePrint Studio comes with 12 main looks that were made from scans of 4 unique film stocks

The film stocks profiled were:

  • Kodak Ektachrome 100D 5294 35mm

CinePrint Studio Ektachrome

Photometrically profiled from Kodak Ektachrome 100D film stock

After many years of being discontinued, this film stock was famously revived back into production by Kodak for use in the HBO series Euphoria. It is a high contrast reversal stock with a unique, rich color response. Just like the film pipeline used in Euphoria, the Ektachrome emulation in CinePrint Studio was cross processed as a negative in ECN-2 chemistry at Fotokem film lab in Los Angeles. This method of processing Ektachrome was also used on movies like Buffalo ‘66, Clockers, and Domino. CinePrint Studio has 2 Ektachrome profiles, providing distinct highlight rendering options for this high contrast stock.

CinePrint Studio EXR

Photometrically profiled from Kodak EXR 500T 5298 film stock

This film stock from the 90’s is not made anymore. Discontinued over two decades ago, it is very hard to find well-preserved rolls. It was used as a high speed stock for low light shooting on movies like Independence Day, Braveheart, Heat, Mission Impossible, Eyes Wide Shut, Apollo 13, Lost Highway, Star Trek: First Contact, GoldenEye, The English Patient, Twister, Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban, The Talented Mr. Ripley, and more. Although the film stock is no longer produced, the emulation helps keep the photochemical color science of this stock alive & accessible to a new generation of filmmakers.

CinePrint Studio has 2 different EXR profiles, each providing unique renderings of contrast & saturation.

CinePrint Studio 500T

Photometrically profiled from Kodak Vision3 500T 5219 film stock

This stock is perhaps the most widely used & flexible film stock currently made by Kodak today. It has extremely high dynamic range and is the go-to choice for low light filming, grain texture, and mixed lighting scenarios. Compared to the previous CinePrint35 emulation, CinePrint Studio 500T has significant improvements in quality & accuracy, especially in skin tones & highly saturated colors.

CinePrint Studio 250D

Photometrically profiled from Kodak Vision3 250D 5207 film stock

This stock strikes the balance of light sensitivity vs grain texture for shooting daylight scenes. Compensating for the white balance difference, it is a very high dynamic range stock that matches closely with 500T, but with slight differences in its tone curves. CinePrint Studio 250D has significant improvements in quality and accuracy of skin tones & high saturation colors compared to CinePrint35.

The Node Tree

Compared to the node tree of CinePrint35, the node tree in CinePrint Studio has been consolidated & streamlined into compound nodes for cleaner organization and simplicity.

There is still a lot going on under the hood, so users wanting to go in-depth can still decompose the compound nodes and customize the individual parameters of the node tree to suit their workflow

Image Pipeline breakdown:

  1. TO LOGC: All cameras are matched to the color response of an Arri Alexa

  2. PRE: Initial color corrections in camera / scene space can be made prior to the film negative being applied

  3. The film emulation is applied. Each emulation consists of parameters designed to match the original 35mm film scan.

    • Adjustments include: RGB matrices for matching primaries, overall Luma curve match, per channel RGB tone curve mapping, edge saturation mapping, and hue angle & density mapping

  4. POST: Now that the film stock is fully applied, color grading done here is similar to working with an actual film scan.

  5. OUTPUT: The image is output for display either as a positive print film look, or as gamma corrected telecine.

Better color science, Better film Emulation

It is common for colorists to use Davinci Resolve’s built-in 2383 print film emulation LUT on log footage from digital cameras in order to incorporate the filmic color response of Kodak’s 2383 print film. However, the 2383 PFE LUT expects a film scan input, so unless the digital footage is graded to precisely match the color response of a real film scan, the 2383 print LUT will produce less desirable results, falling short of a true film look.

Notice how in the first image the greens are less lively, the skin tones feel plastic, and the highlight roll-off is not as smooth. Meanwhile, the second image yields a more accurate and pleasing result because the footage is prepared to look like a real film scan before being output to the 2383 print LUT.

CinePrint Studio elevates digital footage to a highly accurate film look by recreating the density, saturation, and color response of real cineon log film scans before outputting to a print LUT.

Davinci added their own Film Look Creator OFX in a recent update. There are certainly some nice textural & geometric features within, but unfortunately the actual color science is not accurate to any real world film stocks. Film Look Creator does not emulate a real film negative the way CinePrint Studio does. The five built-in “film stocks” in Film Look Creator suffer from a similar issue as using the Kodak 2383 LUT by itself—while they may replicate singular aspects of a film system, they are not accounting for the complex interplay & synergy between components like the negative and the print.

Notice how the skin tones from Film Look Creator do not feel as full, whereas the skin tones from CinePrint Studio are more naturalistic with more life to them.

Accurately emulating the film negative is what really brings the print alive. There is far more vitality and richness to the skin tones, no more clinical digital feel.

Outside of print looks, there are other ways to process a film negative. CinePrint Studio comes with simple curve output options that give you a look similar to a telecine, or a manually graded negative scan:
