Selected grades.
First, find the film’s direction
A reference, a conversation, and a few representative shots give us a useful starting point. I look at the light, performances, and rhythm of the cut, then shape a grade that belongs to the story. My background in editing helps me judge the sequence as a whole.
A clear route to the finished image
The agreed scope can include conform, look development, shot matching, grading, and SDR or HDR versions. We plan the required masters for cinema, broadcast, or online release before work starts. Independent films and larger productions both benefit from clear priorities.
The same conversation, wherever you are
Work beside me at Space Color Studio or join a remote review. My international collaborations include Mission Film & Design in San Francisco. We agree how to view the image, collect feedback, and approve versions, so everyone is working towards the same result.
BEFORE WE BEGIN
A few useful details.
What should I send for a quote?
A viewing link, running time, edit status, deadline, and intended release are a good start. Add camera formats, references, the number of versions, and any VFX still to come. We can then agree the scope, review rounds, deliverables, and fee before booking.
See rates and scopeCan we work remotely?
Yes. We choose an appropriate review connection and agree the display and viewing conditions. A live stream helps us discuss the same moment together; the quality of the receiving screen still matters. Media transfer, version naming, and feedback are planned as part of the job.
Explore studio and remote sessionsWhat do SDR and HDR delivery involve?
The delivery specification determines the required formats, color spaces, trims, and checks. I work with SDR, HDR10, and Dolby Vision workflows. Specialist HDR monitoring can be arranged around the mastering target; the exact setup and versions are confirmed for the project.
