SCENE 01 / COLOR GRADING
Color Grading
Creative color grading that transforms your footage into cinematic masterpieces with emotional depth and visual impact.
Color grading is the creative process of manipulating color, contrast, and tonal qualities to establish mood, visual style, and narrative meaning. Working in calibrated grading suites, colorists shape the emotional tone of each scene through deliberate color choices that serve the director's storytelling vision.
We coordinate color grading sessions with experienced colorists in professionally calibrated grading environments. Our team manages media preparation, reference material, and scheduling to ensure your production receives the creative color treatment that brings your director's visual vision to life on screen.

Creative grading in the Almodóvar saturated palette, Buñuel surrealism, and Almería ochre traditions at Mediapro Post, Telson, and Apache Digital
Here is how this works in practice. Creative grading for productions finishing in Spain draws on a uniquely deep visual-language reference catalogue. The Almodóvar saturated red / magenta / vivid green palette. Codified through decades of El Deseo features. Plus the Jaime Pelayo grading partnership on Pain and Glory, Volver, Julieta, and Parallel Mothers. Anchors the Spanish prestige theatrical look. Buñuel surrealism and the chromatic restraint of Víctor Erice (The Spirit of the Beehive) supply the art-house side. The Almería ochre / sienna / desert palette.
Here is the short of it. Built through the Spaghetti Western Tabernas Desert shoot heritage (Sergio Leone, Sam Peckinpah) and reinforced by Game of Thrones Dorne / Daznak's Pit Almería sequences and Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny Almería desert shoots. Drives the genre-Western and prestige-fantasy reference vocabulary. Spanish Golden Age painting — Velázquez, El Greco, Goya — and the today's luminism custom feed the painterly reference catalogue for period and prestige work. We book grading sessions across Mediapro Post Barcelona (DaVinci Resolve Advanced + Baselight + Sony BVM-HX310 with Dolby Vision HDR), Telson Madrid, Apache Digital. Deluxe Madrid, Madrid Lab, Color Up. LaCometa Films, and The Mill Spain.
Here is the breakdown. Sessions are led by colorists including Jaime Pelayo (Almodóvar regular, El Deseo catalogue lead). Walter Volpatto (Spider-Man Far From Home crossover bench), David Rodríguez (multiple Goya nominations). And the Mediapro Post and Telson senior in-house roster. Pipeline runs ACES IDT/RRT/ODT color-managed workflows with native HDR grading on Dolby Vision-certified Sony BVM-HX310 mastering monitors. With SDR Rec.709 trim passes carried forward into IMF packages. ProRes 4444 XQ broadcast masters, and DCP DPX/EXR sequences.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. HDR delivery covers Dolby Vision (theatrical and home), HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG for the streaming sites — Netflix Spain, HBO Max, Amazon Prime, Disney+ Spain. Apple TV+ Spain, and Movistar+ top tier. Theatrical DCP grading routes through Mediapro Post and Telson into the Cinesa, Yelmo Cines, Cinépolis España. And Cinemes Filmax exhibition pipeline plus the San Sebastián, Sitges, Málaga. SEMINCI, Cannes, and Berlinale festival circuits. Remote attended sessions via Streambox, ClearView, or Sohonet ClearView Flex are arranged for directors and producers attending from London, Los Angeles, or Mexico City.
