Services

Three ways to work together.

Take one stage or hand off the whole back half. Every engagement starts with a conversation about the film, not a rate card.

01

Color & finishing

Grading from dailies through final delivery, with look development that holds up across a whole feature. Conform, shot matching, and a delivery spec built for festivals and streaming.

02

Cinematography

Camera, lighting, and coverage for narrative work on real schedules. Practical, story-first lighting and a shot plan that survives contact with the day.

CameraLightingCoverageOn set
03

Editorial & post

Assembly through locked cut, plus the unglamorous work that makes a release possible: sync, audio QC, versioning, and a pipeline that does not lose a frame.

Process

No mystery between handoff and delivery.

You always know what stage the film is in and what comes next.

01

Talk

We watch the cut together and agree on the look, the schedule, and what delivery actually requires.

02

Prep

Media is verified and organized, sync is confirmed, and the project is built so nothing is discovered late.

03

Grade

Look development first, then a full pass with review rounds. You see real frames, not a promise.

04

Deliver

Final renders to your spec, with QC on the exports and a clean handoff for festival or platform delivery.
