Overview

Colour that travels.

A modern feature ships in many forms — HDR streaming, SDR broadcast, DCI-P3 theatrical and platform-specific derivatives. Each requires careful tone mapping and trim passes so your creative intent survives every screen it lands on.

We grade in a calibrated reference suite using DaVinci Resolve Studio and broadcast-grade monitoring. Every project is finished as an HDR master with full SDR trim passes — so one grade produces all the deliverables you need across cinema, broadcast and streaming.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do you need to be in the room for grading?

No — we offer remote sessions via secure streaming with calibrated reference displays at your end, or attended sessions in our suite if you're in London.

Can you match a creative reference?

Yes — share reference stills or a sample shot from a film whose look you want, and we'll build a custom look that matches while respecting your footage.

How do trim passes work?

We grade the HDR master first, then build SDR trim passes using Dolby Vision metadata or manual key-framing to ensure your creative intent survives the SDR derivative.

What's your turnaround?

Feature grades typically 2–4 weeks depending on length and complexity. Shorter projects from 3–7 days. Rush turnaround available.
