Color Grading

It is never only about putting a signal at the good level of luminance and chrominance. It is never only about getting the same level on images from different cameras. It is never only about adjusting shots one by one so that they technically or visually "match", searching an ideal coherence. It also involves reworking the cinematic matter, its details, its grains, its shininess, taking into account its potential, but also its limits. It is also often to guide the eyes of the spectators or to let them wander around in a decor. It is also sometimes, one last time, looking for the most appropriate aesthetic for a film, a scene, a character. It is also always taking care, one last time, of a person’s or a character’s good looking, of his appearance and skin color. It is above all to help the narration, to accompany the music and the sound of a film, to put a final layer of painting on images sometimes already very strong, sometimes still so fragile… Color grading is all that at once, and a thousand things more !
