Why Lighting Design Needs Custom LUT Creation

In the Lighting Design sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Custom LUT Creation delivers measurable results that transform how lighting design professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for Lighting Design

Lighting design is the most transformative element in any interior, yet it is the hardest to communicate through video — screens emit their own light, making faithful reproduction of a luminaire's effect on a room technically challenging. Production must demonstrate the warmth of a pendant light over a dining table, the drama of a sculptural floor lamp casting shadows, and the functionality of task lighting at a desk through careful camera exposure and color grading. Product demonstration videos showing dimming capabilities, color temperature adjustment, and the difference between direct and indirect illumination educate buyers about features they may not have considered. Designer collaboration stories, manufacturing process footage of hand-blown glass or bent metal, and installation tutorial content round out the content library. The growing smart lighting segment requires tutorial content explaining app controls and scene programming.

Video Challenges in Lighting Design

Showing Spatial Transformation

Interior design is visual transformation at its finest — and before/after video is its most compelling format. 73% of homeowners use video for design inspiration before starting a project. The challenge is accurately showing spatial relationships, material textures, and lighting effects that define a space's atmosphere.

Designers must showcase their portfolio through room tours, renovation timelapses, and material selections while making their creative process transparent. The trend toward virtual consultations demands high-quality video that can replace in-person meetings.

Success Stories & Case Studies

Interior Designer — Social Media Growth

An interior designer launched a before/after transformation video series on social media. The content garnered 1.2M followers across platforms, generating €400K in annual project inquiries and a book deal based on the designer's visual storytelling approach.

Key Benefits for Lighting Design

Client Acquisition & Premium Positioning

Interior design video drives premium positioning: before/after transformation videos generate 5x more engagement than static photos, room tour videos increase project inquiries by 85%, and material showcase content reduces client indecision by 40%. Designers with strong video portfolios command 35% higher project fees.

Our Custom LUT Creation Process

Color Grading Process

1. Color Analysis: We review all footage, identify exposure/white balance issues, and establish the target look with mood references and LUT exploration.

2. Primary Correction: Exposure normalization, white balance correction, and overall color balance across all shots for consistency.

3. Creative Grade: Scene-by-scene color grading to achieve the desired mood, with custom power windows, secondary corrections, and film emulation.

4. Final QC: Broadcast compliance check (if needed), HDR/SDR delivery, and export of custom LUTs for future use.

What Makes Custom LUT Creation Unique

LUT creation builds a custom color lookup table that encodes your signature visual style into a reusable file — applicable in-camera, in editing software, or on set via a monitor. We design the LUT based on your reference images, brand colors, and target aesthetic, testing it across diverse skin tones, lighting conditions, and exposure ranges to ensure it holds up in real-world use. We deliver in .cube format (compatible with DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, Final Cut, and most cinema cameras) in both 33-point and 65-point resolutions. Turnaround is 3-5 business days. This is ideal for brands, creators, and DPs who want consistent color across shoots without re-grading every project.
