Image craft, grounded in signal and intent.
SMT FRAMEWORK
Four tiers. Principles. Systems. Research. Projects.
Creative work accountable to signal, math, and narrative intent.
SMT100 – Core Principles
Foundational constraints governing colour, exposure, and workflow design.
SMT200 – Systems
DWG/DI pipelines, HDR/SDR trims, transforms, and tooling architecture.
SMT300 – Research
Perception models, film emulation theory, display behaviour, standards-level reading.
SMT400 – Projects
Applied breakdowns: DCTLs, grain systems, LUT analysis, production studies.
HOW TO USE
Begin with SMT100 to understand the constraints.
Move to SMT200 for implementation architecture.
Reference SMT300 for deeper technical study.
Explore SMT400 for applied experimentation.
