The Perfect Finish...Every Time

For over a century, Technicolor has been an industry leader in the development and refinement of color finishing. The company’s success is based on Technicolor talent and innovation.  Our award-winning colorists bring their own unique sensibilities to the projects they color-grade, while maintaining the creative integrity established by the project’s director and cinematographers. 

Your partner in the color finishing process, Technicolor is supported by the strongest color science in the industry, with in-house Los Angeles-based imaging specialists, as well as researchers located in the company’s innovation facility in Rennes, France. 

Additionally, Technicolor colorists located in our production centers around the world, including Los Angeles, London, New York City, Toronto and Paris, employ the broadest array of color-grading technical solutions based on the creative needs of the specific project as defined by the storytellers. 

HDR : The New Frontier

The entertainment industry has always embraced new ways to leverage innovative technologies in service of better viewing experiences – that has been the Technicolor mission for the last century. This overarching goal continues today by way of the development of new viewing standards being experienced by theatrical and TV/episodic customers based on HDR and Wider Color Gamut.

Technicolor offers an immediate opportunity to unlock the millions of hours of existing SDR content and release it into the HDR world of streaming. Utilizing our color science and color grading plug-ins, our algorithms analyze video content in real-time, enabling adjustments of luminance in the shadows as well as mid-tones and highlights. These tools give you an unparalleled level of control by expanding content into a wider HDR color-space while maintaining creative intent. Our HDR color grading services include a range of solutions for both existing libraries and new content creation from raw camera files. These services are available at Technicolor post-production facilities globally.
