LUTs in Animation

LUTs, or Look-Up Tables, in animation are tools used to quickly adjust the colors and tones of an image or scene. Think of them as filters that transform the visual mood, such as making footage look warmer, cooler, or stylized. By applying a LUT, artists can ensure consistent color grading across scenes or achieve a specific visual style efficiently. They are essential for enhancing storytelling and creating a cohesive look, especially in post-production, saving time while maintaining high-quality visuals.
