Professional Video Color Correction and Color Grading Service
At Real Art Daily (RAD) Productions, we provide a variety of remote video editing services for independent filmmakers. Among the most important aspects of post-production editing is color correction and color grading, which can be overwhelmingly expensive for independent or low-budget filmmakers and intimidating for burgeoning directors and editors. Based in Los Angeles, but with professionals working all over the world, our experience in the film industry and our technical expertise makes our professional video color correction and grading service budget-friendly and dependable.
Why Is Color Correction or Grading Important?
Consistency, beauty, and mood are top priorities when it comes to video color correction and grading services. These are key features to improving the original footage for a polished product.
The first priority is creating consistent color across scenes and achieving a clear and striking picture. Many videos also benefit from color grading to create atmosphere or suggest a theme. If you are trying to show a key color throughout your short film or video, from a gloomy blue wash to a frightening or passionate red, RADProd can help create the right impact upon your audience through color grading.
What Do Our Video Color Editing Services Include?
RADProd’s services include both color correction and color grading, but many clients might wonder what the difference is between them, and what goes into each process.
Color Correction Service
Video color correction process is the first and most important process in achieving a consistent and professional look to your footage. When filming scenes, there are naturally differences in lighting from shooting at the beginning of the day to the end. It is important that the entire scene appears to be shot at the same time, to keep the audience believing in the story. Often there are continuity errors affecting light and color across a scene’s frames. Our video color editors account for and correct these differences, establishing true color levels and making all the shots consistent to these levels by adjusting brightness, hue, and contrast.
Color Grading Service
Color grading, on the other hand, is the customization of color on video to achieve an aesthetic or artistic goal. The first part of video color grading usually involves brightening certain colors to make the picture as visually pleasing as possible. The second part of color grading has more to do with your voice as a creator. Many movies are defined by their color grading, and it can be a key piece in conveying mood to your audience. If you are coming to us with an advertising or marketing video, bright and invigorating colors can be brought out with our color grading service.

How Our Color Editing Process Works
Our services begin with a free consultation with the client to determine the specific needs for the project, including the type of video (marketing, music video, personal video or film) and your preferred look at the end of color grading. From there, we can begin planning the editing process and begin color correction. This process should largely be the same across different projects, as we start by matching the color of various shots in a scene by adjusting the hue, brightness, and contrast. Once all the shots and scenes are coordinated to have a consistent color story, then the more custom process of color grading can begin. This includes overall grading and color grading of certain shots, areas and even objects. We then send the footage back to the client for review, getting any feedback you have to make final corrections, and then present the final product!
