Colour Grades

Getting the Look

Colour Grading

The videos below are a sample of what I can do in the grading process for your film or commercial. Some of the videos are from projects that I have been commissioned to do and some are sample footage taken from the camera’s website as a test.

If you are looking for a colourist, please get in touch with me here and I’ll be happy to do a sample for you to see what your film can look like. I’m based in Melbourne, Australia but can easily work remotely with you even if you aren’t.

I work with Da Vinci Resolve Studio and a Blackmagic Micro Panel.
