PICTURE + SOUND
FINISHING FOR HUMAN STORIES
The final pass should not call attention to itself. It should help every image and every sound belong to the same story.

A COHESIVE FINAL PASS
Two crafts.
One finished film.
For documentary, nonprofit, ministry, and agency work that is already shaped—and ready for the last careful decisions.
COLOR GRADING
A consistent image with a point of view.
A restrained grade that brings mismatched cameras and changing conditions into the same visual world—protecting skin, shaping contrast, and supporting the emotional temperature of the film.
THE WORK
Shot matching and primary balance
Skin-tone refinement
Look development and final grade
Rec.709 master review
BEST FIT
Short-form documentary, narrative brand films, campaign pieces, and episodic work with a locked or near-locked cut.
SCOPE NOTE
Finishing is offered as a focused color and/or stereo mix engagement. Editorial, VFX, surround mixing, ADR, and original scoring are not represented as in-house services.
A CAREFUL HANDOFF
Small enough to listen.
Experienced enough to finish.
You work directly with the person doing the work. We align on intent, finish the picture or mix, review together, and deliver clean masters for the places the film will actually live.
01 — ALIGN
A short conversation, reference review, and technical handoff.
02 — FINISH
A focused first pass shaped by the film—not a preset or house look.
03 — REVIEW + DELIVER
Clear notes, a considered revision round, and final stereo or picture masters.
