Professional Color Grading Excellence

We are not just another color grading service. Our team brings top level expertise built from years of high pressure sports production where every frame counts. We have graded everything from NFL highlights to Emmy winning documentaries, always on deadline and always delivering broadcast quality results.

That experience taught us how color shapes storytelling. We know when to push creatively and when to keep it natural. Whether it is matching footage across cameras, building a signature look for your brand, or cleaning up shots from tough environments, we bring both artistic vision and technical precision.

The result is content that feels cinematic and intentional. Every choice supports the story, every correction strengthens the message, and every grade delivers the emotional impact your content deserves.

Technical Expertise Meets Creative Vision

Professional color grading is more than software and monitors. It takes an understanding of color theory, technical expertise across cameras and formats, and the creative instinct to use color as a storytelling tool.

Our colorists work in DaVinci Resolve with calibrated monitoring to ensure accuracy in every workflow. We deliver versions ready for broadcast, streaming, in-venue, and social so your content looks its best anywhere it plays.

From subtle grades that keep things natural to bold looks that define brand identity, every choice is made to serve the story.

 FAQs

What's the difference between color correction and color grading?
Color correction fixes technical issues like exposure, white balance, and color temperature so the footage looks natural and consistent. Color grading comes next. It is the creative step where style, mood, and visual tone are shaped to support the story. Most projects need both: correction to clean things up, grading to give the content its final look and feel.

Can you match footage from different cameras and lighting conditions?
Yes. Matching footage from multiple sources is one of our specialties. In sports we deal with it all the time, from Arri and RED cinema cameras to GoPros, drones, and everything in between. Different cameras, different days, different lighting. Our color team uses advanced matching techniques to make it all look seamless and consistent so the story feels unified no matter how it was captured.

Can you create a consistent brand look across all our video content?
Yes. We build signature color treatments that lock in your brand identity across every project. Once the look is set, we apply it consistently no matter the shoot, the camera, or the conditions. We also document the treatment so future projects carry the same style and feel, giving your brand a recognizable and lasting visual identity.

Can you fix footage that was shot in challenging lighting conditions?
Yes. Correcting difficult footage is one of our strengths. In sports, things shift quickly from indoor to outdoor with different cameras and changing environments, and it all still has to look great. We regularly salvage footage shot in mixed light, low light, or extreme conditions. We cannot perform miracles, but years of sports production where lighting is unpredictable have given us the tools to get the best possible image from tough material.

What information do you need to start a color grading project?
We start with your source video in high resolution with minimal compression and with any LUTs or color profiles stripped out. From there, creative direction, references, brand guidelines, color preferences, and timeline expectations all help us shape the look. In our consultation we review sample footage, talk through scope, and set a clear timeline and budget so everyone is on the same page before grading begins.
