Colorist Services

Here is the layout. We supply colorists who handle final grade and look development for shoots finishing in Turkey, working in Istanbul post houses equipped for DCI projection, HDR and broadcast delivery. Our team places colorists who work with closely with the director of photography from pre-production look tests through dailies and into the conform, so the intended palette survives from camera to master. Because the country's post sector is sized by the country's huge episodic output, the colorists we engage are used at high-volume series grading on tight turnarounds as well as the slower, more exacting finish of a feature or top commercial. They manage colour-managed pipelines, deliver against the tech specs of theatrical distributors and global streamers, and version masters for the many areas that license Turkish content.

Here is how the work shapes up. Turkey's post-prod base grew alongside the 'dizi' industry — the country is the world's second-largest exporter of television series after the United States — and that scale built grading talent fluent in both the warm, high-contrast look of historical epics and the cooler register of today's thrillers. Istanbul facilities have finished Netflix Turkish originals such as 'The Protector' and 'Rise of Empires: Ottoman' alongside theatrical features and the steady stream of commercials shot at Cappadocia and along the Turquoise Coast. The favourable Turkish lira and the up-to-30% cash rebates make Istanbul grading strongly cost-competitive for global shoots, while colour-science training feeding in from university film programmes keeps the discipline today's with global standards and the demands of festival and streaming delivery.
