Image craft, grounded in signal and intent.
SMT FRAMEWORK
Four tiers. Principles. Systems. Research. Projects.
Creative work accountable to signal, math, and narrative intent.
SMT-100 — Core Principles
Foundational constraints governing colour, exposure, and workflow design.
SMT-200 — Systems
DWG/DI pipelines, HDR/SDR trims, transforms, and tooling architecture.
SMT-300 — Research
Perception models, film emulation theory, display behaviour, standards-level reading.
SMT-400 — Projects
Applied breakdowns: DCTLs, grain systems, LUT analysis, production studies.
HOW TO USE
Begin with SMT-100 to understand the constraints.
Move to SMT-200 for implementation architecture.
Reference SMT-300 for deeper technical study.
Explore SMT-400 for applied experimentation.
