Film-standard color grading for films, TV & brands
Our grading team is focused on one thing: creating images that feel believable on the big screen and powerful on every platform. From camera-log footage to VFX and CGI composites, we shape contrast, color and texture so each frame supports the story and the brand.
We’re used to collaborating with directors, DPs, agencies and post houses in Dubai, the GCC, Europe and North America. Every project begins with a clear brief and reference looks, then moves into look-dev sessions so there are no surprises at final delivery.
WHAT WE HANDLE
- Look development based on references, mood boards and camera tests.
- Primary color balancing, exposure and contrast shaping for each scene.
- Secondary work for skin tones, skies, product details and brand colors.
- Shot matching across edits to keep continuity stable over long timelines.
- Deliverables for online, broadcast and theatrical specs, including SDR & HDR.

PIPELINE
Our color grading pipeline
We’ve designed our grading pipeline to be transparent, predictable and easy to follow. From the first prep call to the final exports, every step is documented so your online, VFX and delivery teams receive clean, clearly labeled assets.
STEP 01
Prep & conform
We review your offline edit, receive project files and media, then conform to a grading-ready timeline. This is where we lock picture, frame rates, aspect ratios and naming conventions.
STEP 02
Look exploration
Together we test different looks using stills, key scenes and references. We agree on contrast curves, saturation, skin tone treatment and highlight roll-off before the full pass starts.
STEP 03
Primary grade
Scene-by-scene balancing of exposure, color temperature and contrast. We establish the overall feel, remove technical issues and ensure continuity between angles and setups.
STEP 04
Secondary & beauty work
Targeted adjustments for faces, skies, products and important details. We build shape and depth with masks, keys and vignettes so each frame looks polished without feeling artificial.
STEP 05
Versioning & delivery
Creation of master grades plus versions for social, online and broadcast. We prepare deliveries in your required codecs, color spaces and aspect ratios, ready for titles, VFX and sound.
STEP 06
QC & archive
Final technical checks, review sessions with your team and clean project archiving. Your production leaves with clearly organized timelines, exports and grading stills.
A transparent, film-standard workflow from first look to final delivery.
