Cinematic Blues
Our Review
Cinematic Blues LUT — a one-click film look for travel footage shot on your phone
The gist: This LUT turns flat travel video — even iPhone clips — into a moody teal-and-orange cinematic grade in one click, no color-grading experience required.
- Phone-first: Built to work on footage from “all forms of recording devices, even iPhone footage” — no gimbal-mounted cinema camera needed.
- Adjustable intensity: Includes an intensity slider so the effect can be dialed back for harsh midday light or pushed for golden-hour and night shots.
- Skin-tone safe: Designed to hold true skin tones instead of the orange cast cheap teal-orange presets tend to add — useful when the footage is of you or fellow travelers.
- Day-and-night versatile: Built for both daylight and nighttime scenes, so one LUT covers a market crawl at noon and a rooftop bar at midnight.
Per Moment’s own product listing, the LUT is by Bangkok-based filmmaker Sabrina Makmur, who built her style shooting concerts and travel around the world — the same mixed-lighting, handheld conditions most travel creators are actually shooting in.
Best for: nomads and travel vloggers who shoot on a phone and want a consistent, cinematic Instagram/TikTok grade without learning color theory. Skip it if: you already shoot log footage and grade manually in DaVinci Resolve — a single LUT will fight your existing workflow. Runs ~$11 — check the current price before buying.
