Color Grading

Color grading is the creative process of adjusting and enhancing the colors in video footage to establish mood, style, and visual consistency. It goes beyond basic color correction (fixing technical issues like white balance) to artistic manipulation of colors, contrast, and tones that support storytelling. Color grading can make footage feel warm and nostalgic, cold and clinical, or apply distinctive looks like the teal-and-orange blockbuster aesthetic.

Compositing

Compositing is the process of combining visual elements from multiple sources into a single unified image or video, creating scenes that would be impossible, impractical, or too expensive to capture in a single shot. This includes layering green screen footage over backgrounds, adding CGI elements to live action, combining multiple camera passes, creating digital environments, and integrating visual effects like explosions, weather, or supernatural elements. Professional compositing involves precise color matching, edge refinement, lighting integration, and camera tracking.
