SCENE 01 / COLOR CORRECTION
Color Correction
Professional color correction services ensuring technical accuracy and visual consistency across your entire production.
Here is how this works in practice. Color fix is the tech process of normalizing and balancing footage to achieve steady exposure, white balance, and tonal range across all shots. This foundational step corrects inconsistencies introduced by changing lighting conditions, different cameras, or differing shooting environments across production.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with colorists and grading suites equipped to deliver pro color fix for your project. Our team sets up media preparation, session scheduling, and quality control to make sure your footage achieves steady, in tech accurate color that forms a solid foundation for creative grading.

Primary color correction in Resolve and Baselight bays across Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal
Here is how the work lines up. Color fix for Canadian-finishing projects routes through the same finishing rooms that handle global features and premium streaming series: Tattersall Sound & Picture, Studio Post, Lakeside Pictures, and Mr. X / Wolfe Productions in Toronto, DNEG's Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal facilities (Dune Part Two, Avatar, Tenet), Pixomondo Toronto (Star Trek: Find, Strange New Worlds conform), and MELS Post Montreal for the francophone slate.
Here is the layout. Suites run DaVinci Resolve Studio Advanced and FilmLight Baselight as the dual finishing toolchain, with Sony BVM-HX310 reference monitors as the calibrated mastering standard, ARRIRAW / RED R3D / Sony VENICE RAW / Canon RAW pipeline support, and full ACES color-managed workflows from camera-first through delivery. Our team scopes the correction pass against shoot conditions — multi-cam coverage matching, mixed-format shows (drone, action, A-cam), winter-settings white-balance correction (Yukon, Banff, Quebec snow shoots), wet-coastal Vancouver rain-and-fog days, and the high-contrast amber/cyan exteriors of Western Canadian prairie shoots — and assembles the colorist, conform editor, and DI assistant team so.
Here is how the work shapes up. Colorist talent runs deep: Sergio Pasquariello at DNEG Vancouver (Dune Part Two), Andrea Chlebak (Sicario, Blade Runner 2049, frequent Denis Villeneuve regular), Ashley Brown at Pixomondo Toronto, Bill Ferwerda at Lakeside Toronto, and Maxine Gervais at MELS Montreal cover the headline feature work, with credentialed apprentice colorists handling broadcast-volume series finishing through the CBC, CTV, Global, and Crave pipelines.
Here is how it adds up. Broadcast-safe compliance is verified against CRTC Canadian standards for Rec.709 SDR, ATSC A/85 luminance and chrominance compliance for North American syndication, and platform-exact delivery profiles (Netflix Canada office QC, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Crave) for streaming-bound material. Scope reading, vectorscope and waveform tracking, and automated QC tools (Tektronix, Telestream Vidchecker) confirm gamut and broadcast-safe levels before delivery. Bilingual English/French title-card correction, access-pass review for closed-caption burn-in compatibility, and CMF Cancon delivery records ship alongside each master. Remote review runs through Frame.io, Streambox, and ClearView Flex for global showrunner sign-off.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between color correction and color grading?
Here is the breakdown. Color fix is the tech process of balancing exposure, neutralizing color casts, and making sure consistency across shots. Grading is the creative process that comes after, where we develop specific looks and styles. We mostly complete correction first to set up a clean foundation before applying creative grades.
Can you match footage from different cameras?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Yes, we specialize in matching footage from many camera systems with different color science. Whether you're combining ARRI, RED, Sony, or Canon footage, we balance each source to create seamless scene matching across your entire project.
How do you ensure broadcast compliance?
Here is how the picture comes together. We use pro scopes (waveform, vectorscope, histogram) and automated QC tools to check all footage meets broadcast-safe levels for your target platform. This has luminance, chrominance, and gamut compliance for specs like EBU R128, SMPTE, and platform-specific needs.
What formats and resolutions do you support?
Here is what we have to work with. We handle all pro formats including ARRIRAW, RED R3D, Sony RAW, ProRes, DNxHD, and more in resolutions from HD through 8K. Our color-managed pipeline makes sure accurate reproduction no matter source format or delivery specs.
