Hey Brett,

You don’t need a LUT to “fix” footage shot in Wide DR. It’s a fairly simple color correction I do all the time. When shooting, all you really need to do in order to verify all your color info is in the frame, is open the waveform and ensure your not clipping or dropping below 0. If so, you can bring the detail back in post. So, if your shooter did that, you should be good to go.

Open your clip and drop a color correction filter on it. Open your luma wave form window. Go to your exposure tab (FCPX), and bring down the shadows to barely touch the 0 line. Bring highlights up to barely touch 100. Adjust mid-tones as needed. I sometimes bump saturation up a bit if needed.

That should get rid of all the flat look.

Here’s a great tutorial:

You probably have already fixed it by now either way.

I guess I should have looked more into what a Wilhelm Scream is. As I was posting my question, I was in the middle of researching public domain footage for a project I was working on. I saw your post and just plugged in “Wilhelm Scream” into the search for kicks to see what came up, and that was the link.

Everything on that site is public domain, including footage, audio files, and much more. If it’s on that site, it’s public domain. My mistake for not doing a bit more research into what a WIlhelm Scream is, sorry 🙂
