What is your color grading rate?

In order to give an accurate rate we would have to see a cut of your project. This helps us gauge the workload and see what's involved a little bit better. We believe in a fair rate for everyone (especially Indie Filmmakers) and so that is why we don’t charge exorbitant rates. Feel free to go here to request a quote.

How long of a turnaround time do you need to grade my film?

This depends on a lot of factors such as project run-time, time of year, current workload, budget and more, but generally: Feature Film: 2-6 weeks; Short Film: 1-3 weeks; Commercial or Corporate Video: 1 day - 2 weeks; Music Videos: 1 day to 2 weeks. This of course varies greatly but generally speaking these are typical turnaround times.

Do you do remote color grading?

Yes, we grade films from all over the globe on a regular basis. Due to the growth of remote workflows we have great experience working with people all over the country without loss of quality. This is honestly becoming the most common workflow, even on features.

How does a remote color grading workflow work?

Very easily. In fact so easy that most clients are impressed with how quick and easy it is to do. We have gotten rave review on the process. If doing a remote workflow we simply talk about color management and then for our remote grading sessions we send a link to be admitted into the session. (think zoom link) Then on your end you’ll see the same image we’re seeing via an uncompressed SDI output at a very high industry standard quality. We then grade like this until the film is complete.

What sort of files should I send you to get started?

It's always best to have a conversation about your workflow before answering this since things like VFX, frame rates, multi cam, etc can have an affect on this. However, you’ll get an easy to follow set-up document that can answer most of these questions. Generally speaking however you would clean up your sequence, export an XML, reference movie and deliver a drive with all the source footage.

Can you make my film look like this or that film?

Absolutely, at this point we’ve graded enough projects that we can honestly create any look you're after. As long as the film was shot with that look somewhat embedded in the footage we can take what you have and enhance it!
