ARRI Tech Talk: ARRI Film Lab
Join Senior Colorist Florian “Utsi” Martin for an in-depth exploration of the new ARRI Film Lab OpenFX plugin. This Tech Talk dives into the creative and technical aspects of the plugin, explaining how different settings influence color grading, film aesthetics, and overall image quality.
“It is the first time I’ve seen a film look plugin that really helps create a vintage look on a period drama.”
“ARRI Film Lab makes digital feel like real film. It’s incredibly easy to use, yet feels like it carries a full color science lab inside—robust and cinematic. The color response is stunningly accurate, skin tones feel alive, shadows stay rich, and the definition is superb, providing that crisp, organic detail you get from true film.”
"ARRI Film Lab allows me to assist cinematographers in printing their creative intent into the editorial dailies. This is especially valuable on commercials, where cinematographers are sometimes not part of the final color session. Operating the ARRI Film Lab OFX is not dissimilar to operating an ALEXA camera system. There isn’t the decision-fatigue that can come from numerous sliders, dropdown menus, and tick boxes. Instead, the focus stays on the shot and lightly seasoning the image. I’m confident in ARRI’s ability to create and replicate the texture of film because of their decades of experience with ARRISCAN, which shares the same imaging lineage that ultimately led to the ALEXA camera systems."
