Firstly, let’s answer the question –

What is a LUT?

LUT stands for lookup table. It is a file that transforms one range of colours to another range of colours, and are mostly used in films and video edits to give them a unique look and feel. Most recently, they have started to be used in photography as well, as they are quite versatile and some people believe them to be like filters, or tools used to enhance the photos.

 

My LUT

Do you want a professional way to change the colour of your Haloween video? Do you want to make your clips twice as spooky, twice as sickly and twice as fun? Then my LUT is the one for you. After working tirelessly to ensure the very best atmosphere is obtained, Sickly Green was completed and tested out for the scariest effect. The colour combination for this Lut is meant to primarily change white light into an unpleasant green but has some interesting side effects. For the tested video, purple accents were created due to the mix of hues within the shadows and highlights. Green and purple are complementary in colour and so work well together. Usually, when one colour is more dominant than the other, the colour scheme looks more appealing, but experimenting with the ratio can have different effects and can make the atmosphere more unsettling, for example having them almost equal. Colour theory is important because it can strengthen a design and maximise it’s potential. Colours have meanings and people interpret them differently, which has a massive role in videos. The different harmonies and colour combinations can completely alter the tone and mood, and so create a unique outcome, unalike to the original footage. So, for the best Haloween effect and the most disturbing atmosphere for your clip, buy Sickly Green now!
