Grading, finishing and delivery done properly.
Colorado is a specialist finishing studio. We don't try to be everything; we do the part that decides whether your film looks right and ships clean. For more than fifteen years we've graded and finished commercials, documentaries, music videos, series and features — and run the technical supervision that gets them through QC and out the door.
You can hire us two ways: as the colour and finishing partner on a single project, or as the technical backbone that supervises your post pipeline end to end. Either way the goal is the same — your picture looks the way it should, and your masters meet spec the first time.
What we do
Technical supervision & delivery
This is where projects usually go wrong, and where we’re strongest. We design and run the delivery — formats, colour spaces, HDR/SDR trims, broadcast and OTT specs, DCP and IMF packaging — so your masters pass QC the first time, not the third.
HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision. UHD and HD. PQ and Rec.709. ARTE, ZDF, Netflix, Amazon and theatrical specs. If you’ve ever had a master kicked back, this is the service you need.
Colour grading & finishing
Look development, creative grading and final finishing for cinema, broadcast and streaming. We grade on FilmLight Baselight and work closely with directors, DPs, agency creatives and producers to build a look and hold it — shot to shot, scene to scene, across every deliverable. Conform, clean-up, shot-matching and final renders included.
Pipeline & workflow integration
We plug into your editorial instead of forcing you into ours. Renderless, headless conform straight from your Avid timeline; metadata-based shot tracking so editorial changes don’t break the grade; Baselight–Avid round-trips; remote and cloud sessions. The result is predictable post: fewer handovers, no lost versions, no conform mismatches.
Secure handling — TISAX® Level 3
We’re TISAX Level 3 certified. For broadcasters, agencies and brands working under NDA and embargo, that means your material is handled to an audited information-security standard, with redundant archiving and structured backups. Most boutique studios can’t say that.
Finishing for AI-generated material — “Beyond the Prompt”
AI-generated and AI-augmented footage is colour-unstable: tones drift across shots, grain and dynamic range don’t match, and nothing integrates cleanly with live action. We finish it to broadcast and cinema standard and make it sit with the rest of your material. Learn more →
Who we work with
- Directors & DPs who want their intended look protected all the way through to delivery.

Why Colorado
- Specialist depth, not full-service breadth. You hire us for the one thing we’re best at — not a building full of rooms you’re also paying for.
- Creative and technical in one head. We speak look and spec, so nothing gets lost in the gap between the grade and the master.
- Predictable delivery. Renderless conform, metadata tracking and disciplined versioning mean fewer surprises and on-time masters.
- Certified secure. TISAX Level 3.
- Remote-ready. Cloud grading and live remote sessions, wherever you are.
Frequently asked questions
Do you handle delivery and QC for material we edited elsewhere?
Yes. We frequently come in as the finishing and delivery layer on top of an external edit — that’s a core part of what we do.
Do you support Netflix, Amazon and broadcaster specs?
Yes. We handle OTT platform specs, HDR workflows, IMF and DCP, and the major broadcaster delivery requirements.
Can you work remotely?
Yes — cloud grading and live remote sessions, with the same colour pipeline as in-house.
What kinds of productions do you specialise in?
Grading, finishing and delivery for commercials, branded content, documentaries, music videos, series and features.
How much does it cost?
Project-based. We give you a fixed quote after a short discovery call once we understand the scope, formats and turnaround.
