Remote
colour grading.

Colour grading does not require anyone to be in the same room, and it has not for years. If you have footage and need it finished properly, location is irrelevant to the outcome.

This is a standalone post service for filmmakers, editors, agencies, production companies and content teams anywhere in the world.

How the process runs

1. Send a sample. Before anything is booked, send thirty seconds of representative footage. You get an honest assessment of what the grade can achieve and a fixed quote.
2. Transfer the project. Upload via Frame.io, Dropbox, Google Drive or WeTransfer — a locked edit as a reference file, plus camera originals or an XML/AAF/EDL for a full round trip.
3. Share references. Stills, film titles, a mood board, or an existing piece of yours to match. The more specific the reference, the fewer rounds needed.
4. First pass in three to five days. Delivered as a review link with timestamped commenting.
5. Two revision rounds included. Comment directly on the frame rather than describing it in an email.
6. Final delivery. Masters in your required codec and colour space, plus platform exports.

What you get

• Shot-by-shot balance and normalisation
• Shot matching across cameras, days and lighting conditions
• Creative grade built to your reference — not a LUT applied globally
• Dedicated skin tone work across all complexions
• Film emulation, halation and grain where appropriate
• Correct delivery encoding for broadcast, web and social

Formats accepted

Sony S-Log3, Canon C-Log and C-Log3, Panasonic V-Log, Blackmagic BRAW, RED R3D, ARRI LogC, Apple ProRes Log and standard rec.709. 8-bit sources are accepted with an honest caveat about how far the grade can be pushed.

Why remote works

The old argument for in-person grading was the calibrated room. That still matters for theatrical delivery — but if your project is finishing on web, social, streaming or broadcast, a remote grade reviewed on a colour-managed pipeline is functionally identical, considerably cheaper, and does not require anyone to fly anywhere.

Timezones are not an obstacle. Reviews are asynchronous by design.
