Reviewing Process

Color grade selection and review

The first step of the color grading process is to set an overall look for the project. Clients are encouraged (but not required) to provide visual references or written instructions that convey the look and emotion they'd like to achieve. I choose a raw still frame from the video edit that provides a distinct range of colors. Next I provide a lookbook with at least 4 distinct looks applied to that still image. The client will choose the look they like the most and note any additional tweaks. From there I generate a first pass color grade on the entire edit. The work comes alive.

I share the first pass on Google Drive, Dropbox or other preferred method of transfering files. Now the clients have the ability to generate comments on each shot and evaluate the work.

Clients also have the option to interface with me in a real-time video format via FaceTime or Skype. This allows me to skip the delays and miscommunications often associated with long email conversations and discuss details with more nuance. Stay on the same page and save those keystrokes for that sci-fi novel you've always been wanting to write.

For those who prefer the ultra hands on approach, I utilize the Remote Grading system, which provides remote access to my work machines and allows the clients to review the work in real-time as I’m working on the color grading; they can see all the bells and whistles up close and recommend the exact adjustments they are looking for.
