LUTs for family films
I'm Tom, a filmmaker and dad of two. I made these LUTs for the films I shoot of my own family.
They give your home videos the same warm, nostalgic colour, whether you film on a camera or on an iPhone in Apple Log.

Made on my family films
After my family film reached 2 million views, the question I got most was how I got those colours. These LUTs are my answer.
Every before-and-after above is a shot from my own films, first as it came out of the camera, then with the LUT on. Family days happen in whatever light there is. The sliders show the same look in window light, at dusk and in hard sun.
Straight from my DMs
OMG this lut is so beautiful. It does the magic. Thank you Tom!
Thank you for the presets 🙏 This reel is my most meaningful piece yet, and the colours turned out exactly how I never managed to get them.
I just discovered your page today and it’s so inspiring creatively and it makes me excited to capture more of my life in a special way.
I’m really loving your content with the videography x dad life.
I love seeing your videos and it’s really helped me feel inspired to get back behind the camera and capture memories in a way I didn’t feel I could before.
I’m a stranger on the internet to you, and I have taken to you and your family without ever meeting you! Keep inspiring people!
Filming your own family
Get down to their height. Shots from a child's eye level show their world, not an adult looking down at it.
Turn them towards the light. A window or a low evening sun lights faces better than a ceiling light.
Start recording before the moment and keep going after it. The best part often comes a few seconds later.
Shoot in log if your camera or iPhone can. It keeps detail in bright windows and skies, and the LUT turns it into finished colour.
Frequently asked questions
Should I get the Camera LUT or the iPhone LUT?
Choose the Camera LUT for supported footage from your dedicated camera, or the iPhone LUT for iPhone footage shot in Apple Log. Shoot on both? Get the bundle.
I barely know how to edit. Will I manage?
You don't need to be a colourist. Every order includes a short, step-by-step video showing you how to install and apply your LUT, then make a few simple adjustments.
What cameras are supported?
The Camera LUTs have a file for each of these log profiles: Sony S-Log3, Canon Log 3, Nikon N-Log, Panasonic V-Log, Blackmagic Gen 5 and DJI D-Log. There's also a Rec709 file for footage not shot in log. Choose the file that matches how you shot.
What editing software can I use it in?
You'll need an editor that supports .cube LUTs, such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve. For CapCut, check that your version supports importing custom LUTs.
Will my footage look exactly like yours?
The LUT gives you a starting look, but lighting, exposure and white balance all affect the result. A few small adjustments will help you make it work for your footage.
Can I get a refund?
Once you've downloaded your files, sales are final. If a file doesn't work for you, get in touch and we'll fix it or refund you.
