§ About

About this recipe

A cinematic recipe built around the muted, desaturated palette of late-autumn on film. Classic Neg's inherent teal-shadow and orange-highlight split is pushed toward a cool, restrained neutrality — think a mid-2000s indie film shot on expired stock. Highlights are pulled back to protect pale November skies, shadows are lifted slightly to crush detail into a soft matte, and the warm white balance shift keeps the remaining amber foliage from going fully grey. Ideal for wide establishing shots, empty park benches, bare branches against overcast skies, or any scene where fall has already started losing its loudness. Works best in flat, diffuse afternoon light.
