📝 Description

This isn’t just a LUT pack. It’s a full color system built from years of real-world commercial work. The centerpiece is the PowerGrade—a complete node structure in DaVinci Resolve that shows you exactly how a high-end cinematic grade is built. Every layer, from contrast flow to texture and effects, is laid out cleanly so you can study it, tweak it, and make it your own. No hidden magic, just a transparent workflow.

The five signature LUTs are designed as finishing looks that work with any camera. Each comes in standard and extra contrast versions, giving you creative control. You also get the iPhone LUT collection, so even mobile footage can look cinematic with one click. The monitoring LUTs are a hidden gem—they help you visualize ideal exposure and white balance straight out of camera, which is the secret behind consistent, pro-level grades.

The tutorials are where the system really clicks. Over 26 episodes and 6+ hours, you watch Reilin grade real-world shots from scratch, using the exact process he relies on for commercial work. You get access to the original RAW Sony FX3 footage, so you can follow along step-by-step and build real confidence. The course also covers his personal Sony camera settings, so your footage starts with the perfect base before you even open the editing software.

The digital effects—RGB split and lens blur—add texture and depth to your shots. They’re built as PowerGrades for DaVinci Resolve, with brief instructions for recreating them in Final Cut Pro X and Premiere Pro. Everything is designed to be easy to understand and fully customizable, regardless of your skill level.
