Sony Cameras & Color Profiles
Sony cameras have been leading the way for many years in the Filmmaking scene. Just like when the A7S1 was released, it revolutionised the industry with it's low-light capabilities and small design. Many Sony cameras were becoming the favourite, such as the FS5 and FS7 for professional work. They gave the user everything they needed while capturing, like multiple XLR inputs for audio, high bitrate, low power consumption and much more.
S-Log color space + LUTs
S-Log color space was a big driver for many users to learn how to use LUTs. As Sony cameras became more popular, S-Log 2 & 3 introduced many Filmmakers to using Log color profile. Giving the ability to have a higher dynamic range than standard color, without losing detail in the shadows and highlights.
One issue that came with this, is that everyone had to learn color grading when using Log. So let's say, color grading isn't for everyone. It's an art in itself and it's not something you can learn quickly. This caused a lot of people to get frustrated that they would need to color grade after shooting anything if they wanted the extra dynamic range, especially if they have a quick turn-around on an edit.
This is where LUTs became super useful. Being able to place a look onto your footage and have it corrected to a pleasing look while getting more dynamic range out of your camera, is a huge time saver and upgrade!
LUTs work best for most people
Some colorists spend many years color grading different types of Log footage. Also of course, LUTs aren't for everyone. Some Filmmakers have a very artistic eye and love designing the color themselves. This route is always the best route if you have passion and time as you will receive your favourite results, because it's from your mind.
But some users just don't have it in them. For example, Youtubers and Business owners don't have time to spend passionately learning how to color grade. They want to pump out videos that look decent, so they can work on other things that matter more to them. This is why LUTs are ultra useful for specific types of people.
