'Smoke' 🔥
Inspired by true events, follows a troubled detective and an enigmatic arson investigator as they pursue two serial arsonists.
The series' distinct visual style was developed through early collaboration between the cinematography and color teams. Senior Colorist Siggy Ferstl partnered with cinematographer Sam McCurdy to create a foundational show LUT and later used specialized tools like the Film Look Creator plugin in DaVinci Resolve 19.5 to shape the textured, period-appropriate look.
