DELUTS
Filmic LUTs designed to speed up your grading process. Shot across cameras such as the A7s, FS7, FS5, GH4, C300, C300Mk2, Blackmagic, Canon DSLR's, 1DC & RED.
I shot SLog3 footage with the Sony FS7. I did not let the highlights go past 90 ire using zebra while monitoring in REC709. I used all natural light. In Adobe Premiere Pro, I tried out various ImpulZ luts using the Lumetri effect. Here are the results.
This video was not shot with an anamorphic lens, but an anamorphic look was added in the post production process using Adobe After Effects. The Adobe After Effects project I used to achieve this look can be found at the link below. It is free to download and was generously created by VashiVisuals.

This video was shot with the Panasonic AU-EVA1 in V-log and was graded using DELUTS (filmic LUTs for grading). Here's the link to DELUTS:

About Anamorphic (from Wikipedia):
Anamorphic format is the cinematography technique of shooting a widescreen picture on standard 35 mm film or other visual recording media with a non-widescreen native aspect ratio. It also refers to the projection format in which a distorted image is "stretched" by an anamorphic projection lens to recreate the original aspect ratio on the viewing screen. (It should not be confused with anamorphic widescreen, a different video encoding concept that uses similar principles but different means.) The word anamorphic and its derivatives stem from the Greek words meaning "formed again". As a camera format, anamorphic format is losing popularity in comparison to "flat" (or "spherical") formats such as Super 35 mm film shot using spherical lenses; however, because most film movie projectors use anamorphic projection format, spherical format negatives are commonly converted into anamorphic prints for projection.
The Panasonic AU-EVA1 has the ability to shoot slow motion up to 240 fps (frames per second) in 2K and 1080. In this video, we shot some slow motion of water balloons, silly string, bubbles and glitter. In real time, these objects move fast. In slow motion, they come to life and you will see them in an entirely new way.
Fun in the snow with the Sony PXW-FS7. We were testing out shooting 180 frames per second slow motion in 1080p. A snow ball exploding against a house seemed to make the most sense.
