frequently asked questions
what is colour grading?
Colour grading is the process of adjusting and enhancing the colours, contrast, and brightness of a video to create a specific mood, style, or cinematic look. It ensures visual consistency and helps convey emotion in storytelling.
what is the difference between colour correction and colour grading?
Colour correction balances and fixes exposure, white balance, and colours for accuracy, while colour grading is the creative process of stylizing the image for a cinematic or artistic look.
can you work with iPhone, DJI and Sony footage?
Yes! We can assist with a range of LUTs (look up tables) for base camera correction to Rec. 709 – suitable for most consumer and Sony Cinema range cameras.
what color space do you color grade in?
Currently Rec. 709 SDR – (Standard Dynamic Range).

Yes! If you have a reference from a film, music video, or other media, we can match or create a custom look inspired by it.
what’s the best format for delivering graded footage?
For high-quality masters, we recommend ProRes 4444 XQ, while compressed formats like H.265 (HDR10) or H.264 (Rec.709) are great for online use.
