SCENE 01 / COLOR CORRECTION
Color Correction
Professional color correction services ensuring technical accuracy and visual consistency across your entire production.
Color fix is the tech process that balances footage so every shot holds steady exposure, white balance, and tonal range. This base step fixes the gaps left by shifting light, different cameras, or varied shooting setups across a shoot.
We connect you with colorists and grading suites that deliver pro color fix for your project. Our team handles media prep, session booking, and quality control. The result is steady, tech-accurate color that gives creative grading a solid base.

Technical colour balancing for New York productions
Colour fix is the base layer, and it has to be locked before any creative grade can sit cleanly on top. The New York post scene treats it as a craft in its own right. Our team books correction sessions through the Tribeca finishing corridor. That means Light Iron NY at Harbor Picture Company, Harbor itself, PostWorks New York, Technicolor PostWorks NY, Goldcrest Soho, and Final Frame. There, assistant colorists run primary passes on ARRIRAW, RED R3D, Sony Venice X-OCN, and Canon Cinema RAW Light sources before the lead colorist takes the timeline.
Multi-camera shoots are common to NYC documentary, episodic, and branded work. Take a Brooklyn-set HBO pilot that mixes Alexa 35 A-cam with Sony FX6 run-and-gun, or a Hudson Yards corporate spot that blends RED Komodo and FX3 plates. We camera-match these across sources and white balance them against the calibrated reference. From there, we pull them into the broadcast-safe gamut the final deliverable needs.
Sessions run on DaVinci Fix Studio and Baselight in colour-managed ACES or scene-linear pipelines. Tektronix and Leader scopes check luminance, chrominance, and gamut at each step. The targets are ATSC A/85 for US network handoff, Netflix and Apple TV+ delivery specs, and SMPTE ST 2084 PQ when the job heads toward an HDR master. Each shot is set for exposure, cleared of colour cast, and matched within scene. The creative grade that follows then starts from a clean tech baseline.
NYC colorists with East-Coast Avid Symphony and Fix backgrounds bring decades of broadcast-compliance instinct to the work. Names like Sam Daley, Andrew Geary, and Stephen Sanchez sit among the rooms we route through. That instinct keeps first-pass QC acceptance high when the master ships to HBO Hudson Yards, NBCUniversal at 30 Rock, or the streamer delivery portals.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between color correction and color grading?
Color fix is the tech process of balancing exposure, clearing color casts, and holding shots consistent. Grading is the creative work that comes after, where we build specific looks and styles. We almost always finish the fix first to set a clean base before any creative grade goes on.
Can you match footage from different cameras?
Yes. We match footage from many camera systems with different color science. Whether you mix ARRI, RED, Sony, or Canon footage, our team balances each source so every scene matches across your whole project.
How do you ensure broadcast compliance?
We use pro scopes (waveform, vectorscope, histogram) and auto QC tools to confirm every clip sits at broadcast-safe levels for your target platform. That covers luminance, chrominance, and gamut for specs like EBU R128, SMPTE, and platform-specific needs.
What formats and resolutions do you support?
We handle all pro formats, including ARRIRAW, RED R3D, Sony RAW, ProRes, DNxHD, and more, at resolutions from HD through 8K. Our color-managed pipeline holds accurate color no matter the source format or delivery spec.
