Our menu of services includes HD/2K/4K color grading for commercials, music videos, episodic television and feature films, 2K/4K film scanning, film/digital dailies and archival film restoration.  We can also supply you with your final deliverables including DVD, blu-ray and DCPs. From rising stars to well-known artists, our team has some of the most sought after talent in their field. While our tech-savvy crew is fluent in all digital cameras including ARRI Alexa, Phantom, RED, DSLR, etc. we also love and embrace celluloid and will continue to invest in, and support film at the highest level with in-house 2K and 4K film scanning, DaVinci Resolve 4K color correction, Digital Vision Phoenix film restoration, and solvent-based film cleaning. We can meet any post production deliverable on any timeline.

The process of “Film Scanning” in post production terminology differs from “Telecine” in that each roll of film is scanned into a sequence of high-resolution, pin-registered, discreet image files, typically in the uncompressed DPX format, whereas Telecine converts film reels into a lesser quality standard video stream (SD 525i, HD 720p, HD 1080p/i).

A Digital Intermediate (D.I.) is a motion picture finishing process which starts with a scanned motion picture film element (or digitally captured images) and applies color grading, image effects and other changes, even final mastering. It is usually the final creative adjustment to a movie before distribution in theatres.

Commercial Color and Finishing are equal parts art, science and hospitality. As artists, our color team bring passionate, award-wining talent that can elevate a Creative Director or DP’s vision beyond expectation. Supporting our artists’ creative vision is good science.

Restoring old films may be a passion of ours, but many of the same tools and techniques used in restoring a 100-year old film can also be used to fix any number of problems with your current production.
