COLOR
CORRECTIONÂ
Color correction can be the difference between your project looking like a home movie versus being shot by a professional cinematographer. Great color correction and grading can give your film a consistent high quality look and feel that serves the tone and mood of your story. Let WMM handle your color correction professionally at a fraction of the cost because you only pay for that artist and not the overhead of a large facility.

HOW TO KNOW YOU'VE HIRED THE RIGHT COLORIST FOR YOUR PROJECT:
- They know how to get your project into their software and back to your editor, whether that’s by XML from Avid, Premiere, Final Cut Pro X, or Resolve. If your editor is having a hard time delivering to your colorist or sound designer, WMM can solve that problem for you here.
- They can match shot to shot. Making your shots match within a scene is almost more important than managing a look. A good colorist will take what your cinematographer already shot and accentuate it in the best possible way and make everything flow together seamlessly. Color correction shouldn't stand out or be distracting. The best colorists quietly make the cinematographer’s work look amazing and don’t do anything flashy unless the narrative specifically calls for it.
- You can give them your deliverable specs and they’ll know what to get back to you graded in the correct color space. For instance, if they know your deliverable is for YouTube only, they won’t try and charge you for a high end theatrical grade.
- MAKE SURE THEY GET ALONG WITH YOUR PICTURE EDITOR. Your picture editor and colorist will be working together closely and need to get along and understand how the other works.
