Hi guys, I am having sleepless nights not being able to figure out how to achieve this look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcJ80-B98Qs&t=541s (from 12 seconds onwards, but particularly the outdoors parts around 8 minutes). I'm shooting with the same camera, Sony A7SII, in CINE4. Obviously he has a few separate presets set up to be able to produce a quality video every day. The jist of the grade is cinematic, but not orange and teal, in fact I'm not seeing much colour in the shadows at all. I'm noticing lots of bloom from lights in the background, blacks are very black but the overall look doesn't seem that high contrast to me. Also, the image seems incredibly soft, completely different to the image I can make. (Maybe a purposefully dirty lens? - Vaseline on a filter?) If anyone can give me some pointers in how to get closer to this look it would be a huge help, I must be missing some really obvious things. Or even point me to some similar LUTS as a starting point if they exist. Huge thanks and I apologize if I'm using the wrong terminology.

I am grading a feature (Indie) that was shot on the A7Sii, XAVC S S-Gamut3.Cine / S-Log3 1600 ISO High Profile 4:2:0 94-100Mbps UHD The issue- There is a visible pattern in the footage, can bee seen in about 50 shots so far, and can still be seen in the ungraded Log mode as well. The red one is an image I found online with the pattern, but no explanation as to what it is/and if it can be fixed some how. Anybody ever see this before? Is the footage screwed? I am grading in Resolve Studio 14 underneath a 2383 Film Emulation Lut (built in) Thank you!
