A Skyrim inspired film simulation recipe using Pro Neg Std as a base

Jorrvaskr
Sometimes when inspiration strikes me, I start work on a film recipe with a particular result in mind. This was one of those occasions.
I was looking through my old PS4 games, and had a nostalgic wander around the forests and valleys of Skyrim. There’s a specific tone to the imagery and graphics, and as a long time fan, I started to think about recreating it as a film recipe.
In the game, (here’s a clip if you’ve never seen it), there is a mix of forest, tundra and mountains with much of the area covered in snow.
For my recipe, I found that Pro Neg Standard was the closest match to the tone of the game graphics, but needed a little warming and shadow adjustment. Obviously, this is somethng of a novelty idea, but I found that the end result was really well suited to photography of natural scenes, and this included wintry images like the frosted ferns you see below the recipe info.
