Great video! Another use of LUTs in post-production is having a preview of the final look of a shot while working in the VFX stage. Compositing software like Nuke have a built-in quick preview using an imported LUT, so the artist can see how the shot will look in the final edit, without changing the original scan.

I love color grading! Sometimes I feel beginners may overlook this, but for me, I've been grading footage since my first short film.
