The suite
Rates are per session or per finished minute, published, and the same for everybody. Deliverables and the standard each is mastered to are listed on every line, because half the disputes in this trade are about what a deliverable was supposed to be.
Grading
Feature grade, per finished minuteConform, grade, shot matching and delivery to the distributor spec with QC attached. Typically eight to twelve days for a ninety-minute film.USD 96.00
Documentary grade, per finished minutePriced lower because the sources are usually mixed and the schedule usually longer. Archive restoration is quoted separately and honestly.USD 68.00
Commercial, half-day sessionFour hours with a colourist, client present or remote. Most thirty and sixty second spots finish inside one of these.USD 950.00
Series episode, per episodeUp to fifty minutes, with a look established once across the run rather than re-argued every week.USD 2400.00

Before you book
What we need from your edit, what the rates include, how remote sessions work, and what we do when a deliverable comes back.
Why is there no showreel?
Because a graded frame in a browser has been compressed, converted into a colour space we did not choose and displayed on a panel nobody has profiled. It is not what we delivered. We publish the roster instead and put an hour in the diary for you to see the work in the room, free.
What do you need from the edit?
A locked cut, an AAF or XML, and the original camera media. If the cut is not locked we will still start, but we will tell you what re-conforming will cost so it is a decision rather than a surprise.
What is included in the rate?
Conform, grade, shot matching, the deliverable in the specification you name and its QC report. Versioning for additional platforms, captions and archive restoration are separate lines, published, not discovered at the end.
Can we attend remotely?
Yes, with a calibrated reference at your end or with the understanding that what you are seeing is indicative. We will not sign off a final grade on an uncalibrated remote view and we will not pretend a laptop is a reference.
What if a deliverable is rejected?
If the rejection is our fault the re-master is free and we write up what went wrong in the grade notes. Everything delivered in the last twelve months passed first pass; the one before that did not, and it is written up.

No reel on the site is inconvenient. The hour in the room answered it.
