A video breaking down my film emulation process to achieve cinematic colours. I go into detail through each node of my powergrade, briefly discussing every part of the node tree and how you can recreate a similar film emulation process yourself. I then compare my film emulation process to one of my favourite film emulations I've seen, Filmbox by Video Village, to see how they compare and the differences between each method.
