A Little Disappointed...But Still Good | Dehancer Film Emulation

If you're asking yourself whether Dehancer is the BEST plugin to emulate cinematic film looks, then this video is for you. In this video, I'm exploring Dehancer film emulation for DaVinci Resolve. Taking a look at its features, strengths, and where I feel it fell short. I’ll also share how it stacks up against VideoVillage's Filmbox in achieving specific Kodak Vision3 film emulation looks.

Big THANK YOU to @collinausbury for the MAJOR assist in making that intro sequence come alive. Also huge plug to my boys Jordan Bogart and Jake Coletta, the Director/DP combo responsible for the Arri Alexa Mini nature footage from 2021.

Thank you for your sincerity and your point of view in this great work, Michael.
Your view helps us to grow a lot and we value your great contribution to Dehancer. ☺

The fact that you ONLY have almost 5K subs is criminal. Your channel is killer.

Also... that intro was insane. Keep crushing it, Michael!

Dude im seriously gasping at how good that intro was.

[isaacapon]

I mean idk why you had to flex and make the intro a movie, but you do you!

[collinausbury]

My body is ready for your Filmbox review

[dysnXO]

how and where to install your .drx preset?

[guidedvisionsmedia]

You missed the linear option on film print bro, it’s great for those that don’t need a curve adjustment applied but still want to keep the film colors applied in the box above

[lucrichter]

This Intro ist not worth 5k subs, more like 500k….
Keep up buddy!

Can't you just use filmbox for the emulation and also dehancer for bloom/grain/compression at the same time lol. i feel like that would be the ultimate film look

[Sodacake]

i can't quite pinpoint why but all halation emulation looks fake to me. like it can't quite emulate the intensity of the light that causes it on real film.

Hey man I don’t feel this was a fair comparison of dehancer at all because it was not used correctly. You kinda pointed out your mistake in the comparison section by having both a print and an emulation on a the same time. I feel you would have got results you enjoyed if you white balanced your footage and didn’t use an “additional look” by having the film emulation on. That’s the whole point of the film head section. It’s a more technical white balance. I keep an empty node or two before my dehancer node so I feed the plugin with what im comfortable with as a base before using dehancer to create my “look”. filmbox is amazing just for not the $1000 price tag. I have used both and I think filmbox does 16mm better than dehancer as well as set up for a Davinci color managed workflow, a great plug-in but not necessarily for those that aren’t getting paid to color projects yet.
