As a filmmaker, I discovered the importance of color in film and the impact it can bring to the audience. Given that your film has great lighting, a good final color polish can bring your piece to a whole new level of quality.

​

I work from my home studio where I use my color grading panel on a calibrated monitor. I can calibrate for web-, broadcast- & and cinema deliveries.

​

The process

It's always a good idea to contact me as early as possible, preferably before principal photography , so I can discuss with the producer, DP/Cinematograhper, and/or the director to create 2-3 looks from the DP's initial tests, which I can distribute as monitor-LUTs for the camera. This helps set a basic look while shooting and it prevents many from getting used to the normal Rec709-display on set.

​

If your piece has already been shot, I will send you stills of different scenes first. If you know some references you like, you can either send those before or after I create the first look samples. From there on we can discuss, how we want to proceed.

​

For bigger budget projects, where more than two people are needed to give instant feedback, I recommend that I book a color grading session at an external studio, or to do the final adjustments there.

​

Minimum requirement

Of course I can try to color grade every possible codec & format, but for good results it should be at least in 10-bit color depth. I can provide an upload-link which has no file-size-limit.
