Color grading, look reconstruction and dedicated colorimetry tools

I support audiovisual projects in building their final render, from grading to defining a coherent look, while integrating technical, artistic and production constraints.
My approach is grounded in understanding the complete pipeline, mastering color science and using dedicated tools to make decisions more reliable.

What I offer

Each service is built around a rigorous color science pipeline. The scope adapts to the project.

01

Color grading and harmonisation

Colour correction, shot balancing and global render consistency. Log/Display pipeline, DaVinci Wide Gamut, ACES, RED IPP2 or LUT-based depending on the project.

02

Look development and look reconstruction

Creation or reproduction of looks from visual references, archive images or existing projects. Custom DCTL, reproducible PowerGrades.

03

LUT preparation and pre-production references

Creation of tailored LUTs from real footage to prepare a shoot or validate a visual direction before the final shoot.

04

Color science pipelines and technical compliance

Colour space, gamma and workflow management. Automated CST, Log, HDR (PQ/HLG), RAW, ACES, broadcast and streaming deliverables.

05

Dedicated tools and decision support

Analysis and comparison tools to orient visual decisions quickly: MetaGrade, Look Engine, Nodal Tree Engine.

06

Tailored color supervision

Custom LUTs, DIT support, coordination with the cinematographer for visual consistency from the shoot onward.

Why work with me

Combined technical and artistic approach: understanding of the complete production pipeline, from camera signal to deliverables.

Look reconstruction from references: analysis of existing images (films, series, archives) and reconstruction of the corresponding grade.

Pre-production LUTs from real footage: no generic LUTs, but transforms calibrated on your cameras and real conditions.

Dedicated tools for more reliable decisions: MetaGrade, Look Engine, Nodal Tree Engine, developed in-house for concrete production needs.

Multi-camera sources: experience across a wide range of cameras and log profiles (see below).

Primary tool

DaVinci Resolve Studio

Native DWG pipeline, DCTL, PowerGrade, HDR, RAW.

In-house tools

DCVisuals Suite

MetaGrade for automated camera analysis, Look Engine for look management, Nodal Tree Engine for reproducible node architecture.

Working format

Remote or on-site

France, La Réunion, Italy. Remote via DaVinci project sharing, Blackmagic Cloud or travel for local projects.

Do you recognise yourself in one of these situations?

These are the most frequent situations. If your need is not listed here, describe it directly.

You have a reference image and want to reconstruct a look close to it.
You have tried commercial LUTs/presets without obtaining a satisfying result.
You are hesitating between several visual directions before a shoot.
You want to prepare a monitoring LUT from real samples of your cameras.
You are working with multiple cameras and need to preserve visual consistency in your narrative.
You want to analyse several looks at the same time rather than a simple before/after.

Visualise the steps of a grade

Each step corresponds to a state of the grade, from the source signal to the final look. Click the steps to navigate.

In-house tools and DaVinci Resolve ecosystem

I use and develop dedicated tools to structure and secure color workflows. I also integrate recognised tools from the Resolve ecosystem when relevant.

Calibrated to your actual cameras

I prepare pre-production LUTs from footage samples coming from actual cameras, allowing teams to quickly visualise several rendering directions before the shoot or final grade.
