"The living curse" is a concept that refers to a profound and enduring state of misfortune or unhappiness experienced by an individual or a community. It implies a pervasive and continuous suffering that seems to follow and afflict those who are affected by it. This curse can manifest itself in various forms, such as poverty, illness, or constant setbacks in life. The living curse often becomes a central aspect of one's identity and existence, overshadowing any other positive or joyful experiences. It seems to cling to individuals and families, passing from generation to generation, perpetuating the cycle of suffering. The curse may not only affect the individuals directly experiencing it but may also extend to the broader community they belong to.
The end result are conversion LUTs that deliver natural and organic color palettes, creating the perfect starting point for further stylization.
When creating these LUTs, I used the native camera-brand LUTs as a baseline and then made additional adjustments to enhance color balance, contrast, saturation, and other key variables. With that in mind, I decided to create a a brand new set of color grading LUTs to replace and improve upon the LUTs being used with many of today s popular cinema and video cameras.
The curse may not only affect the individuals directly experiencing it but may also extend to the broader community they belong to. The causes of the living curse can be complex and multifaceted. It could be rooted in historical events, such as colonization, war, or epidemics, which have left a deep scar on the affected population.
