Documentary Color Grading

Job ID: 37838965

Budget: $250 – $750 SGD

I need a colourist to colour correct and colour grade footage from a documentary short film, which is a student final-year project. I am the editor for this project, and I am looking for a colourist to help me with the footage.

The footage is likely to be 8-bit—unfortunately, I couldn't confirm this with the production team. It is 1080p, and the footage has different framerates from 25 fps to 120 fps. It is not shot in a log colour profile as well.

The film's picture lock is 16 minutes and 34 seconds, including the opening and credits.

I edited the footage with Adobe Premiere Pro, and I saw that there can be many issues where doing a round-trip with Da Vinci Resolve or other colour grading programs, so technical help with the handoff would be great as well.

This is a remote job.

The budget is US$200. While the budget is tight because this is a student project, the fee is negotiable!

The deadline for the job is 15 March, but I think colouring work tends to be shorter—so let me know when is the soonest you can finish this task, at a high quality!
