A holistic reproduction of photochemical motion picture imaging.

Based on empirical data and refined for creative utility.

Built for high-end production. Right in DaVinci Resolve.

Film is nuanced. So is Filmbox.

The look and feel of motion picture film defines a century of art.

As we move beyond photochemical imaging, we need not leave behind its
aesthetic quality.

Color & Tone

Film has a unique response to light intensity and wavelength. Filmbox
uses rich empirical datasets to transform scene-referred image data
to embody the non-linearities of contact-printed negative.

Detail & Halation

As light strikes color film negative, different wavelengths scatter
within the layers of emulsion and affect neighboring image regions in
a very specific way. Filmbox convolves digital image data to exhibit
the soft yet detailed quality of the negative.

Grain & Texture

The perceptual intensity of film grain varies with the density of the
developed negative. Filmbox reproduces the quality and tonal
distribution of grain as well as other subtle effects of the
development process.

Gate Weave & Dust

Film transport mechanisms are not perfectly stable, and labs are not
perfectly clean. If desired, Filmbox can model the subtle instability
of real 35mm and 16mm cameras, and procedurally place samples of real
dust.

Contact Print

The look of projected film is the combination of the spectral
characteristics of the negative and the print.

Filmbox maps the emulated negative to the light output of the digital
display using a characterization of the combined photometric response
of an actual contact printed negative.

Comparison of Filmbox and actual film

A tool for purists and mad scientists alike

Built for Cinematographers

Simple photographic parameters give DPs and Directors a clear
vocabulary for communicating their vision across scenes and projects.



Filmbox as a Format

Built for Colorists

If you want to tweak, just pop the hood. Filmbox has plenty of knobs
and modes to support advanced workflows and enables you to invent new
things from vintage characteristics.
