Inspiration & Motive
The majority of films made on film up to this point have been reprinted on a very particular film stock before being released. The 2383 Kodak Stock is used to print all of the films shown in the following illustration. All three images, while displaying a distinct mood (in terms of color), have the general appearance and features of Kodak 2383 Print Film Stock, despite the fact that they were taken at separate times. In the course of dissecting the appearance, we not only looked at the film stock samples, but we also looked at all of the films printed on 2383 Stock with great attention to detail.

What are time-based LUTs?
The “time-based” image processing algorithm underpins the 108 LUTs included in Ultimate Colorist Toolkit 3.0 (UCT). Our proprietary information-processing algorithm deeply understands Recursive real-world film patterns. Our LUTs have been methodically constructed into four unique categories based on the patterns. No matter how little experience you have with color grading, UCT is likely to provide you with a substantial boost in productivity.
Our primary LUTs are divided into four categories: Sunlight, Sundown, Dusk, and inside. Kodak and Fuji Film Negative LUTs, 3 Powerful Davinci Resolve Power Grades, and Minimal LUTs are two new categories in version 3.0, which expands our current offering. As an added bonus, the Film Textures Pack Upgrade is included as well.

Sanford LUT from "Sundown" Category
What distinguishes these?
LUTs, which are tossed around in the name of “cinematic,” are made by grading a single shot and applying them to another shot. This implies that if you try to apply it to a new shot, it’s not a stretch to believe that you’ll fail to get that “cinematic” aesthetic. As a result, we developed LUTS that are dependant on the time of day.
Our assumption is straightforward: the detail distribution of daylight pictures, evening shots, and night shots remains consistently homogenous over a wide range of cameras, locations, and budgets, respectively. Using this basic reasoning, we split LUTs into four groups based on the time of day: Sunlight LUTs, Sundown LUTs, Dusk LUTs, and Lucent LUTs. Lucent LUTs are crafted for scenes shot under artificial lighting.

What's new in Vol. 3?
In order to make sense of FilmForever’s large number of Power Grades, let’s take a closer look at what’s offered. There are four grade styles at the primary level: 2383 Rebuild, 2383 Creative, 2383 3-Strip, and 2383 Technical. Let’s examine each style in further detail.
LUT Refine and Stress Test
This is by far the simplest re-build of the 2383 LUT. A really robust starting point if you are aiming for a minimal grade with minimal effort. You can manipulate the 2383 core grade itself to your liking within the building blocks of the Power Grade.
New “Contemporary Tonal” LUTs
This grade is the same as the base “2383 Rebuild” along with a “creative” node in the initial blocks. This node shifts the entire palette to a much more modern-minimal film color palette.
Kodak & Fujifilm LUTs from Vol. 2
Kodak & Fujifilm Film Negative LUTs from last year’s 2021 kit have now been upgraded to be used with Film Print Emulation Kit, FilmForever™, while still offering the native film palettes for standard Rec 709 footages.
Film Textures from 2021
4K 8mm, 16mm, 35mm & 8K 35mm, premium film grain textures .mov files made by capturing original film stocks on high-end cameras and remastered to be used digitally. This was added in 2021, volume 2, and has been carried onto volume 3.
