Colour Grading
I provide colour grading and look development for commercials, branded content, campaigns and selected narrative work from Melbourne, working directly with production companies, agencies, directors and post-production teams.
The work ranges from shot matching and technical colour management through to developing the final visual character of a piece. The objective is not simply consistency. It is deciding where the eye should go, how skin should reproduce, how product and brand colours should behave, and how the image should feel when it reaches its final screen.
Projects can move through DaVinci Resolve as standalone grading sessions or as part of a complete online and finishing workflow, including conform, cleanup, versioning, QC and final delivery. I work with clients in Melbourne and remotely, running calibrated remote review sessions where a supervised grade in person is not practical.
Finding the visual character of a campaign before the job becomes a shot-by-shot correction exercise. Usually built from references, a test grade on selected frames, and a look that holds up across the whole cut rather than one hero shot.
Building a reliable path through camera sources, review exports and final masters in DaVinci Resolve. Mixed cameras, log formats and delivery colour spaces resolved once at the start, so the grade behaves the same in the suite, in review and on the final screen.
Balancing exposure, colour matching, skin tones, product colour and mixed lighting so the work cuts cleanly. Skin and brand colour are the two that get noticed when they drift, and they are usually the reason a cut feels uneven before anyone can say why.
Keeping the grade practical for commercials, branded content, agency review, versioning and final delivery. A look that falls apart in a 1:1 crop or a broadcast-legal pass is a problem you would rather find before the master, not after.
