Light is chemistry
We finish film. Grade, conform, deliver — a room, a colourist, and however long it takes to get one frame right.

A grade is not a filter. It is a hundred small decisions about where the eye should go, made in a dark room, at the end of a very long process, by someone who has watched the footage more times than the director has.
What we do
Feature and episodic grading, commercial finishing, conform, VFX pulls, mastering and delivery in HDR and SDR.
How we work
One colourist per project, start to finish. Remote sessions with calibrated confidence monitoring, or come and sit in the room.
What we run
Baselight and Resolve, four suites, a 4K DCI theatre, and a reference wall that has been profiled every Monday since 2014.

Before / after
Camera original on the left, our grade on the right — both rendered live in a single fragment shader, from the same frame. Drag the handle. This is the whole job in one gesture.
Shadows pulled to a cold neutral so the blacks stop reading as brown.
Midtones shaped around skin, which is the only thing an audience actually measures.
Highlights rolled off early — a hard clip is the fastest way to look cheap.
