At Colorado Media in Berlin, our commitment to high-end postproduction led us to choose Filmlight’s Baselight system and the Blackboard One panel as the cornerstone of our color grading workflow. With unmatched color science, seamless Avid integration, and tools that empower artistic freedom, Baselight enables us to deliver cinematic visuals efficiently and consistently across film, TV, and commercial productions.

Filmlight is recognized across the industry for its world-class color science. For Colorado Media, this translates into:

• Vivid and accurate color rendering
• A wide tonal range for nuanced grading

We chose Baselight because delivering exceptional image quality is not optional — it’s our standard.

Creative Control with Baselight + Blackboard One

Our artists work faster and more freely thanks to:
