Picture grading can be one of the most impactful changes you can make to your film. It has the potential to elevate a good image to great, or a great image to outstanding. We offer two levels of digital colour grading which differ in objective and capability. In both cases, we will work closely with you during this often subjective process in order to achieve the desired look.

Technical Grading

After scanning the digital files are transferred to Nucoda software suite where colour and luminance are adjusted across the frame as a whole to deliver a more natural look.

It’s important that during the scan aspects like sharpness, contrast and colour saturation are left unprocessed in order to create a preservation quality, digital record of the film in its current state.

A technical grade aims to correct any age related discolouration that might have occurred in the underlying image while also retaining all the information captured during the scan.

Creative Grading

During the creative grade we have significantly more control over the appearance of the finished image beyond what is possible in the technical grade. Precise adjustments can be made to individual colours, lowlights and highlights as well as to specific areas of the frame using keyed shapes and motion tracking.

We offer full creative grading on a Baselight grading suite at Films at 59 with award-winning colourist Tony Osborne. Clients are invited to attend the creative grade at any point in the process and take advantage of full complimentary facilities to make you comfortable.
