Eterna Cinema film simulation recipe with a warm nostalgic tone
Celluloid Nostalgia
Here’s a film simulation recipe that pushes the retro nostalgic aesthetic without opting for an overly orange or sepia tone. It’s a cinematic look with a mellow colour balance, that evokes a nostalgic feel from the warm tones and Eterna base. In fact, if I didn’t already have a recipe with that name, I would have called thie Eterna Nostalgia.
The recipe works well in bright conditions, taming the harshness to created something much softer. If there is a colur cast, it’s somewhere between cyan and a grey green, but is more of an essence that something striking, like the cyan skies of some CC recipes.
In gloomy conditions, the color cast is more evident, with natural and earthy tones becoming moody and cinematic. In conditions like this, crop into scenes, rather than leave large portions of sky to get the best results.
