Thousands of productions around the world have been empowered by our technology

Look Designer has transformed the way I think about my work flow from pre-production through post.

Look Designer has transformed the way I think about my work flow from pre-production through post. The ability to create and fine tune camera specific film emulation LUTs that I can then use on set is a game changer for me. I’ve used other tools in the past, but Look Designer is the most powerful and straight forward that I’ve seen. More importantly, because it was built taking into consideration the actual chemical processes of traditional film lab processing, the terminology is easy to understand, and designing a look that emulates a specific stock is a much less convoluted endeavor.

Look Designer changed my approach to the post-production process.

Look Designer changed my approach to the post-production process. It helped me create the cinematic look of the ’70s in a simple and quick, yet sophisticated way. It saved me a lot of time that I would have wasted using many different tools, luts and plugins. Now it is also part of ColourlabAi which, together with Grainlab, is a huge support for the most important part of post-production, which is creating a distinctive look for the film.

Look Designer, ColourLab AI and GrainLab are must-have tools for every production.

With Look Designer I feel empowered to be more creative in my grades while ColourLab AI allows me to work faster and focus more on that creativity.  GrainLab is the best film grain tool that I’ve come across, hands down.  My work is better and I’m having more fun doing it.

Being able to find new looks quickly and apply them efficiently means more creative freedom.

Colourlab AI and Look Designer are a seriously powerful combination of software tools. Being able to find new looks quickly and apply them efficiently means more creative freedom. And with the time saved, I can focus on higher-level grading and finishing tasks. 

ColourLab allows me to focus my time on what really makes the difference in an image.

ColourLab me permite enfocar mi tiempo en lo que de verdad hace la diferencia. Al encargarse de la parte primordial de balancear y emparejar los tiros, puedo dedicarme a esos pequeños detalles, esos ajustes que llevan toda imagen a otro nivel y eso gracias al tiempo que ahorro por ColourLab.

ColourLab allows me to focus my time on what really makes the difference in an image. By taking care of balancing and matching in a blazing speed I can dedicate my time to those fine adjustment and details that take the image to a bold new level and that’s possible because of ColourLab.

Look Designer lets me concentrate on the intuitive side of crafting and communicating a consistent base for my work as a DoP.

The New-gen of Look Designer 2.0 became the base of my workflow

The New-gen of Look Designer 2.0 became the base of my workflow.

I began using ColourLab last year, and I have no regrets! It allows me to have a lot of control over images, flexibility, and rapidity. The New-gen of Look Designer 2.0 became the base of my workflow not only with stock footage and with Full CG and Motion Graphic materials.

All documentary filmmakers should be using Colourlab to make their documentaries look like a movie instead of just looking like television news.

As a documentary filmmaker, I follow the advice of Michael Moore when he says, “Don’t make a documentary — make a MOVIE.” Colourlab is designed to help us transform digital video using the aesthetic genius that was built into traditional film processing. All documentary filmmakers should be using Colourlab to make their documentaries look like a movie instead of just looking like television news.

With Colourlab you can get every shot of your film automatically matched to your baseline or look references, allowing you to get much more quickly to the art and craft of designing the LOOK.

As colorists, our work includes both technical color correction and creative color grading. Colourlab harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence to automate the meticulous process of color correction in the CDL, so that each individual shot is adjusted properly to feed the ShowLUT, so that we can get on to creative color grading much faster.

Colourlab is a bespoke neural network trained specifically on cinematic content. In other words, Colourlab knows what a correctly exposed and balanced shot looks like from a density and tonality perspective. And has the ability to make the proper corrections to each individual shot and load the correction into the CDL. 

This same technology can automate the early stages of look matching as well. Instead of using the neutral balance and exposure as its’ matching source, Colourlab can use a look reference image as its’ matching source and automatically adjust the shot to the density and balance of the specified look. And using scene markers, this is done on a per scene basis.

With Colourlab you can get every shot of your film automatically matched to your baseline or look references, allowing you to get much more quickly to the art and craft of designing the LOOK.

 

Colourlab has changed my workflow and the way I look at colour.

Lookdesigner and Grainlab have elevated my work ten fold, I was never happy with overlaying grain on an image but grain lab is another level and being able to control the levels like you can its such a game changer. Lookdesigner has become my go to for designing LUTs and looks, the emulations are stunning and the subtractive colour and temp sliders give a level of control that is simply exciting.

Look Designer is an outstanding tool that every colorist should use.

What Dado has done with AI is groundbreaking.

Look Designer is an outstanding tool that every colorist should use. It has taken my work quality to the next level while giving me all the creative control. Also, I can rest assured that it’s grounded in tested color science and correct film emulation. This is an amazing tool that allows you to stay true to the nature of film while creating amazing looks. It’s a major upgrade to speed because it allows you to create in a color managed workflow with a single node and output to every major color space. Look Designer is now at the core of my color workflow, making me a faster and more creative colorist.

What Dado has done with AI is groundbreaking. He’s leading the way for all colorists to embrace imminent change. Colourlab allows you to focus more on the creative side instead of repetitive tasks. Automated tools were never things a serious colorist would even consider, but here’s a tool built by colorists for colorists that will fundamentally change how we work. Being freed from time consuming tasks I am now able to work in a creatively assisted way. I can create complex looks that can be propagated to my timeline by AI while leaving controls exposed to tweak them if necessary. AI will change everything, no doubt about it. With Colourlab we can be trailblazers and future proof our careers while making our craft immensely more enjoyable.

The perfect tool to achieve, in the fastest way, a strong and customizable film look.

For me Look Design is the perfect tool to achieve, in the fastest way, a strong and customizable film look. The film directors I worked with loved when I could show them a unique and well crafted film look for their projects. In my knowledge, I haven’t found yet a better way to create, with that level of accuracy, a film emulation look. When I have to color a film project, that’s the first weapon in my arsenal I look at.
