GRADE AND COLOUR

This is one of EGG’s greatest strengths- and we look at it as an exercise in manipulating time and space, through the use of colour. From matching different takes and angles trying to make things feel as though they are shot at the same time on the same day, to applying a look and making the story clearer.

EGG takes the brief or creative input from the DoP, director, producer and uses state of the art technology and decades of experience to deliver the best version of the material, all the while mindful of the myriad of technical implications of the decisions being made.

Working in DaVici Resolve with advanced control panel, using the state of the art, Netflix and Amazon Studios, approved, Sony BVM X300 4K monitor, allied to our 4K Projector, our suite gives directors and producers using our colour suite a cinematic experience, whatever their content.

The Colour Grading department has worked with every conceivable camera format and delivered countless broadcast TV, Theatrical Feature and adverts projects- in SD, HD, 2K, UHD and 4k HDR and Dolby Vision.

Our technical infrastructure allied to a 5Gb/s internet connection means that, if you can’t come to the facility you can still do remote grade in real time at EGG. As times and budgets change, this is a service that has been a huge success for our clients based overseas.
