Maintaining Visual Consistency: Digital vs. Film Era Workflows for DPs/Directors?

Hey everyone,

I'm finding myself grappling with something while prepping for a new documentary project. We're shooting on a mix of a KOMODO-X and an FX3, aiming for a very specific look that needs to hold across different environments and lighting conditions, think gritty urban landscapes and soft, natural interview setups.

I've been leaning heavily on on-set LUTs to get us in the ballpark, but I'm curious about the broader picture. Back in the film days, maintaining consistency felt like a more tactile, chemical process, involving specific stocks and lab work. With today's digital workflows, high-resolution capture, and reliance on DITs for real-time grading, how has your personal process for ensuring that consistent visual aesthetic evolved?

Specifically, for those who've worked in both eras, what are the new challenges, or even advantages, in maintaining that cohesive look across a project compared to when everything was on film?
