Colorist Services

New York's colorist community sits where two demanding markets meet. One is prestige episodic and feature work for HBO, Apple TV+, Netflix, Disney+, Amazon, and Paramount+. The other is the Madison Avenue commercial scene that finishes its campaigns out of one zip code. We book colorists who work at that level.

We route work through suites with deep pipelines: DaVinci Resolve and Baselight, Dolby Vision and HDR10+ mastering, and Dolby Atmos integration, plus the cloud-review tooling, such as Streambox and Sohonet ClearView, that real-time client sessions with LA, London, and Atlanta showrunners need. NYC colorists are fluent in the gritty-amber and cool-winter palette the city's independent tradition built, the polished commercial look agencies expect, and the wide-gamut prestige look streamers buy.

We match each colorist to the brief by genre, intended palette, delivery spec, and timeline. The brief might be a Netflix Dolby Vision feature, a HBO prestige series with an HDR10 trim pass, a high-end spot for an agency on Madison Avenue, or a documentary that needs Rec.709 SDR and HDR deliverables. From there, our team books the suite and sets up the DI conform with the edit in Avid Media Composer or Adobe Premiere. We run the color review sessions in EST, with European overlap in the morning and West Coast overlap in the evening. We then deliver the IMF, DCP, ProRes 4444 XQ, Apple ProRes for IMF, and broadcast masters against US network and streaming QC.

We keep New York State Film Tax Credit compliance on track through logged colorist labor, facility rentals, and approved vendor invoicing; the state's post-production credit covers qualifying finishing labor and suite time. We also keep the edit, VFX vendors, sound mix and music supervision aligned, so the master frame the colorist locks reads the same on every screen.
