Look creation

Creation of colour looks (LUT) for specific cameras.

Great for film stock emulation in-camera and are created as exposure-neutral. +0stp, -0.5stp and -1stp variants are also available, to assist the cinematographer with choosing an underprocessed look with a simple LUT switch in the camera.

‘Live grade’ look creation

‘Looks’ that are created and tweaked by me during the shoot in consultation with the cinematographer. On a scene or shot-specific basis.

Captures are saved of each setup and can aid the cine & lighting team to match corresponding scenes shot days apart.

Essential for longform content as the visuals of assembly and fine cut edits are even closer to the finished product.

My equipment is lightweight, has a small footprint, and can travel to as many sites as camera.

Data management

Backup of digital footage to production backups. Shuttle drives available for hire.

Fast transcoding

Transcoding from original camera format to a smaller size editorial format, or even smaller for online dailies to Frame.IO or similar.

Pre-production consultation

I also regularly assist producers and cinematographers to determine camera format, backup sizes, costing for media and hardware and technical workflow.
