These are unsupervised sessions based on labor time (not runtime). In a scene-to-scene color correction session settings are established for each change in a roll before the actual telecine transfer takes place. Changes that require new set-ups include variations in lighting, filtration, exposure, speed or stock. The senior colorist or telecine operator is aiming for consistency as the entire roll is examined. Scene-to-scene correction is often chosen to “clean up” a print for broadcast, for festival distribution or for integration into a project destined for a film out or film release. Some directors prefer timing of their camera original footage. For original footage, shooting “chip” charts or grayscale at the beginning of rolls or scene changes and filling out camera reports are recommended. |
Take the hourly fees for standard definition ($270 per hour) or high
definition ($715 per hour) as posted on our websites. The charges for
scene-to-scene are calculated on labor time, which is the actual time
it took our colorist to perform the corrections through the footage.
Given that the entire roll is studied and marked before transfer, you should
estimate that an average session will last three times the actual runtime.
All other costs, such as prep at $.08 per foot or charges for the tapeless
service fee or tape stock are as posted on the price lists.
The final labor total could vary dramatically as the correction is dependent
on the number of set up changes required. |

For standard definition:
$225
for the transfer of a roll running 15 minutes or less (3 x $75) $2145 for the transfer of a film running one hour (3 x $715) |
