Anyone seen this music video?

Looking at the skin tones I guess it's some kind of IR Chrome thing they did here. But I sure love the nature scenes in this video!

It is used to good effects.

The filter works well with it.

Mathieu Stern has an infrared LUT that turns greens red but leaves skin alone.. could be that or something like that. https://www.mathieustern.com/luts/infrared

That was nice. It even looked like it was handling originally red colors like Aerochrome, turning them yellow. The Kolari Chrome filter fail in doing that.

Thanks! For €11 that's a steal.

Will buy it and shoot some footage to try it out.

I bought it and got a strange file with a .CUBE extension. I cannot open it on my mac.

Is that the LUT itself?

I have not used lut files before.

[Andy Perrin]

I don’t know but can you open it in a text editor, Ulf? That might answer the question.

[ulf]

I was just new to this.

The .cube file is the LUT.

 

It is one of the possible file format/extensions for LUTs.

 

There are several instructions on the web how to install and use it with PS.

I got it to work with Photoshop.

It seams good so far.

Nice to be able to adjust the strength of the effect with an adjustment layer.

 

Now my main problem is that I have very few normal VIS images to try it on.

I prefer working with my own images instead of some perfected ones I find on the web.

Haven't been on UVP for a while, but was intrigued by this post about the Mathieu Stern LUT (Color "Look UP Table") plugin.

 

Fairly easy to set up in Photoshop CS and works fine for videos in Premier Elements, with the Logarist application.

 

Blues and yellows don't seem to change much, but quite impressive for a one-click plugin.

Adding a youtube video of one of my iPhone MOV files, processed in Premier Element with the Infra-Red LUT.

Isn't it using selective colour management? Sometimes I do it in some of my ViS pictures. I leave here an example of the color-selective method.

To process the colours I used the colour selection tool to select greens, then turned green into whatever I wanted. Then I used a selective tool to blind the grass from the colour selection management. Fine-tuning the image can give different red-pink-orange hues.

In a way they are, but in a selective and automated way:

The IR LUT from Mathieu Stern is doing a very good job.
