Joseph Yao — Color Project Inquiry

Color Grading

Start a
Color
Project

Tell me about your project — the story, the format, the feeling you're after. The more detail you share, the better I can say whether we're a fit.

I work across music videos, short films, commercials, and docs. Turnaround and rates vary by scope; I'll follow up with a quote once I've read through.

Color Space

Your cinematographer should know this, but if there's any questions we can figure it out during our call.

Delivery to Color

Delivery from Color

When you'd like your editor to receive the colored film for final conform.

File Delivery Type

Typically files are received as a stringout (an export of the entire project) with any temp color or titles removed, in full resolution, in ProRes 4444. Alternatively, we could arrange for a handoff of a hard drive containing the footage and an XML and project file.

Budget

Most projects I take on fall within the following ranges, depending on scope, runtime, and delivery needs:

Short films: $1,500–$3,000
Commercials: $1,200–$2,000
Music videos: $1,200–$2,000

If you're working with a different all-in color budget, share it below and we can scale accordingly.
