I have finished edits of my footage and now need a skilled colorist to turn those images into a polished, movie-style experience. Your task is purely aesthetic: balance exposure and white balance first, then apply a rich, cinematic grade, tasteful film-stock emulation, and any subtle effects that elevate the storytelling without looking over-processed.
The clips are already trimmed and assembled, so there is no cutting work—just color correction, stylized grading, and any light overlays (letterbox, film grain, lens glow, etc.) that complete the look. You are free to work in DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro Lumetri, After Effects, or another professional tool, as long as the final render matches the original resolution and frame rate.
Deliverables
• Final graded video(s) in the original codec, resolution, and frame rate
• Exported LUT or project file so I can adjust the grade later if needed
• A brief before/after preview for sign-off
Acceptance criteria
• Consistent cinematic palette across every shot
• No crushed blacks or blown highlights unless artistically intended
• Skin tones remain natural while fitting the overall mood
If you have a reel that shows dramatic, film-like color work, I’d love to see it. Let’s give this project the big-screen treatment it deserves.
