“A good workflow is essential for meeting high expectations”.
The colour grading service
-
Primary Corrections
Fixing discrepancies between shots or finding an initial neutral balance, this phase of colour grading usually gets an image most of the way to looking its best.
This can also involve repair work on shots that needs attention. All work is done on professionally calibrated OLED monitors so you can be assured that your images are starting from a bullseye.
-
Secondary Corrections
This pass adds the polish to the images, where we can adjust isolated elements of an image. This can entail many options such as relighting, adding density to individual hues, adjusting brand colours, face refinement or even object removal.
This pass is essential especially for drama and commercials.
-
Look Development
The final pass of the process is all about creating a unique look for your film. This can be simple split toning or as complicated as print film emulation and creating lens characteristics.
This pass adds flavour and richness to the film to ensure it stands out for the right reasons.

Colour Management
Our displays are calibrated by ISF certified technicians to ensure colour accuracy. We also use colour management to ensure that what you see on our screens is what was seen during shooting.
-
Show LUT creation
We also offer a Show LUT service to create impactful looks at the Pre-production stage of a project. This can be imported into the camera to provide a look during shooting.
The look itself isn’t baked into the footage, which allows for changes to the creative look at any stage of the production.

Workflow
We utilise Blackmagic Cloud to work in an entirely collaborative way online. This facilitates the colour grading process allowing us to grade even as the film is being edited and provide an online platform for review sessions and file sharing. The price for this can be included in the quote.
