i myself have tried to emulate the look of what happened in Dune 1&2, and The Batman. I think i succeeded in my efforts. i personally wasn't trying to emulate the colors they achieved, i think that's reasonably achievable. What i wanted to achieve was other aspects especially the magic happening in the shadows of those films. If you pay close attention to those films, to my eye at least, there seems to be a split tone that tints the shadows. However, the "tint" or color it becomes, isn't the traditional blue, or cyan or green...but, Grey. I think the magic in those films are happening down below. Nevertheless, in your image with the man's legs, you didn't try to match the low contrast of the image but opted to use scatter, which didn't work well i think. anyways, i think the magic is in the Shadows. I commend you for being bold to emulate the look. I'm also glad you have good quality robust tools to help you to from Cullen, Thatcher, VideoVillage, Mono and so on.
Oh I totally get that. I plan to do a follow up video that is more focused on the filmic addons that happen to the colors. I admittly more or less only shaped some of the basic hue rotations that I think were happening in the pre photochem process that they did with The Batman. I've been working on different ways to emmulate digital the chaos that occurs when you take that digital signal thru photochem process. I'd say this video gets you probably 50 percent of the way there. I'd love to see what The Batman looked like before they did the photochemical process of creating the capture negative, Intermediate and Final print... This is one of those rough moving targets where there was alot that was going on and and just trying to get in the ballpark when I didn't have access to Fotokems physical film develoment
