Colorist Services

Here is how the work lines up. Canadian grading sits at the top of the global pipeline. Sergio Pasquariello finished Dune Part Two at DNEG Vancouver, anchoring a colorist roster that runs through Andrea Chlebak (Denis Villeneuve's regular collaborator on Sicario and Blade Runner 2049), Ashley Brown (Pixomondo Toronto, on the Star Trek: Discovery and Strange New Worlds grade), Maxine Gervais (MELS Post Montreal, finishing Quebec features and Radio-Canada prestige series), Bill Ferwerda (Lakeside Toronto, with a long Schitt's Creek run alongside Hallmark and CBC drama), and Sebastian Wadsworth on the Toronto independent and commercial circuit.

Here is the layout. Below department-head level, our network has senior help colorists and DI artists who have crewed Hollywood-scale features and premium streaming finishes at Firm 3 Toronto, Deluxe Vancouver, Vision Globale Montreal, Technicolor (now Streamland), DNEG, Pixomondo, MELS Post, and Tattersall. The Canadian post infrastructure has won Academy Awards through DNEG and Framestore's Vancouver and Montreal VFX wings. We structure colorist engagements so that final grade slots inside the same facility as VFX and DI when needed.

Here is how the work shapes up. Suites are equipped for DaVinci Resolve Advanced and Baselight TWO/EIGHT, Sony BVM-HX310 client reference monitors, FSI XM550U HDR mastering displays, calibrated 4K and 8K projection rooms for theatrical sign-off, and full Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HLG, and Rec.709 trim-pass mastering for streaming, broadcast, and theatrical delivery. ACES color pipelines integrate cleanly with on-set DITs and edit workflows from Avid Media Composer, Premiere Pro, and Resolve Studio cut rooms, and remote-grading sessions through ClearView Flex, Streambox, and Sohonet ClearView Pivot are standard for US and European supervising directors and DPs.

Here is how it adds up. The federal CPTC and CRTC-recognized Canadian Content (CanCon) certification stacks with Ontario Creates (Computer Animation & Special Effects Tax Credit), Creative BC (PSTC + DAVE), SODEC, and the Alberta Film Commission so qualifying colorist labor stays eligible from conform through final master and IMF/DCP delivery, with deliverables shaped to Netflix, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Crave, Tou.tv, CBC, CTV, Global, Hallmark, and theatrical exhibitor specs — and festival masters cut to TIFF, VIFF, Fantasia, Hot Docs, and Whistler Film Festival timelines.
