FS7: FS7 matching AMIRA

I have no issue paying for something I'm not willing to do myself or am not capable of. What someone wants to charge is up to them and then I decide if its worth it to me. What is your time worth? The hours I saved purchasing a lut I liked more than payed for itself in the amount of paying work I did instead of tweaking lut colours.

At no point did anyone suggest it was a poor lut, or that it was an expensive one. That has never at any time formed any part of what I have been talking about. It's fine to let it lie and have differing opinions on stuff, but please don't misrepresent the point I was trying to make.

I'm looking forward to hearing more about this lut, it's exposure and more examples. Hoping this get's back on track.
 
I like the idea of people getting paid for innovation. I never had the time to sit down and figure a burn in look. For the fs7 that was really satisfying, Bert did and offers the solution for peanuts. I wish Adam Wilt and Bert would have known they can make a buck developing this a year ago, maybe for the next camera they will.
 
Well, let´s to get back on track about these LUTs.

I payed up and got the LUTs the other day. All I can say is that I have found my go to look with the FS7. Before I would go with the Type A look and tweak it, never being totaly satisfied, or with filmconvert and try to tame the overly saturated look it would give. These LUTs just works, you apply them and boom you got a great looking image either as a final look or as a start.

The Filmlike LUT is more towards Canon, a bit warmer specially in the highlights. The balanced one is more towards Panasonic (a bit cooler).

Is it worth the money? Well, let me ask: What is one hour of work worth to you? Because that's the time I will save in order to find a look that I can work with when grading and correcting my footage. So for me it's worth it, I'm no good with LUTCALC and stuff like that, I need something that works.

I am currently working with a billion dollar company on some commercials. I presented the video and they instantly noted how nice the colors looked and said "that's our look for all future videoproductions". Was it worth 20 euros? Of course! Could I have found that look by my self? Probably not, and even if I would have done it, it would have taken me many hours if not days = costing me money because my time is money (just as many others here).

I see these LUTs as an Iphone. It will cost you a bit, but once you have it in your hand it just works and looks beautiful.

Can't speak for everyone, but for me it worked out great and was worth it.
 
I opened the thread because I wanted to share sth that I found interesting and helpful.
I am not affiliate, I do not know even Bert. I don't see any offending of the rules of advertising or poaching.

Same. Don't mean to have been instrumental in anyone suggesting otherwise.

EDIT: But I've got no idea why people keep talking about whether it is worth it or not as though I had ever questioned the price or quality.
 
I finally got around to testing these LUTs and wow! LC709A, goodbye.

Im sitting here looking and being blown away by how good my archive footage looks with this. Tested LC709A but it was just darker, colder, and more magenta. Needs tweaking. The BenLUT filmlike does not. Apply and amaze. This is neat!

But, an easy LUT aside. I want to take Bens defence as well.

Who can tell the two LUTs apart?

One is LC709A with 5 second colorwheel tweak, the other is BenLUT filmlike.
