The gold standard for film emulation.

Every detail of film's look and feel, faithfully rebuilt for digital cinema.

Filmbox Pro controls
A plug-in for DaVinci Resolve, Baselight, Livegrade Frontier, Colorfront, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Final Cut Pro.

Exceptionally accurate

Built from empirical data to be an organic and

comprehensive embodiment of photochemical imaging.

Detail & Halation The physics of emulsion enables film to render detail in ways that are notoriously difficult to faithfully reproduce. "Halation", "Acutance", and "Aura" are loose terms for pieces of a phenomenon far more complex than a glow. Filmbox uses advanced processing to achieve an indistinguishable match to a negative’s soft yet detailed character across its latitude and color response.

Color & Tone Dense datasets are used to transform spectral radiance values from the digital image to match the film negative’s complex response to those same light values across its latitude, along with its intricate interaction with print film — faithfully reproducing the combined response of a projected contact print on your display.

Grain & Texture Filmbox reproduces the tonal distribution of grain across the density of each channel of the negative emulsion as well as the structural and temporal qualities and even subtle large-scale effects of the development process as sampled from real scans.

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.

Vision3 ECN-2

Kodak's modern motion picture negatives, ubiquitous in contemporary film cinema. Refined grain, amber halation, with color and tonal rendition that have defined cinema. Shown here as a contact print, but also available as a telecine-style transfer, log scan, or anything in between.

Bleach Bypass ECN-2

Motion picture negative processed without the bleach step to trap metallic silver in the emulsion. This boosts contrast, mutes colors, and enhances grain for a steel-toned look. Famously associated with films like Saving Private Ryan and Minority Report. Presented in 10 strengths. Looks especially good when paired with Scatter diffusion.

Bleach Bypass 60%

Ektachrome ECN-2

Ektachrome is known as a photo reversal stock, but the motion picture version is often cross-processed in motion picture chemistry to produce a wild negative with crisp micro-contrast, enhanced grain and expressive tones. Famously associated with Euphoria. Presented here in multiple tailor-made preparations.

Color Photo C-41

Still‑photo negatives spanning consumer and pro films that define the photo‑print look: from controlled tones of Portra to the grit of street photography stocks to the amber aura of CineStill. Presented as a chromogenic print, or a lab scan or anything in between.

Reversal E6

E-6 reversal (slide) films don't involve a negative, they develop right into a projectable positive which we profiled directly. Reversal tends to have a clean look both spatially and tonally and especially neutral highlights and shadows. We also included a very fun reproduction of Instax instant film in here.
