Advanced Color Science Membership

To accurately emulate a film stock, it’s not enough to adjust a curve or match a few color samples — you need to build a profile from real, measured data - A LOT OF DATA!

In this series of classes, you’ll learn how to create high-fidelity film emulations by capturing thousands of color samples from both a digital camera and the film stock you’re profiling — side by side, under identical lighting conditions, and across the entire exposure range.

We’ll cover the full process step-by-step:

• How to shoot and expose reflective and emissive color charts correctly

• How to build a dataset that’s robust across different lighting environments

• Why most film emulations fall short — and how to avoid those limitations

• How to expand the dataset using multiple illuminants and high-saturation RGB patches

• How to prepare your measurements and feed them into the most powerful color matching algorithm available(developed specifically for this workflow and exclusive to this classes)

This algorithm will generate a highly accurate color transformation — allowing you to match digital cameras to film (or even to each other) with a level of fidelity rarely seen outside high-end post pipelines. The advantage of this workflow is that once you gathered and prepared the datasets, the profiling will be handled automatically without guess work!

You’ll also get access to color charts I shot, so you can jump right in and build your own film profiles without needing to shoot everything yourself.

You’ll not only understand the science behind beautiful color — you’ll have the tools and skills to shape it with precision and repeatability, on your own terms.
