02 / THE WORKING METHOD

Built to create

Resolve the look

Choose references and establish a practical color-management route.

Match shots and refine the approved visual character.

03 / VERIFY THE DELIVERY

03 / SCOPE BEFORE PRICE

Three levels.
One clearly defined brief.

The rate-card scope factors are shown below. Client complexity is applied separately.

Focused / ×1

Focused scope

One grading day for a defined, prepared edit.

Expanded / ×1.8

Expanded scope

One day addressing more source variation or look detail; required days are entered separately.

Complex / ×3.2

04 / TUNE THE BRIEF

See how the scope
changes the investment.

A planning range using the same rate card as the full DOC N.I.L. calculator.

Client complexity and scope are separate factors. The written proposal confirms the level that matches your brief.

05 / THE ACCEPTANCE GATE

Know what good
looks like.

Check shot-to-shot continuity, intentional look, retained detail, and conformance to the delivery specification.

ILLUSTRATIVE APPLICATION / NOT A CLIENT RESULT

06 / PRICE GUARDS

Protect the scope.
Protect the result.

Outside this product unless agreed.

  • Editorial changes, media reconstruction, and visual effects are separate.
  • Additional grading days and output versions are separately scoped.
  • Source defects and inaccurate original exposure may limit recoverable detail.

The proposal confirms quantities, review rounds, locations, versions, and the service period. Additional work receives a written change scope before it starts.

8% G&A is additional. Third-party costs and applicable tax are confirmed separately. Estimates are planning ranges, not a booking or a guarantee of results.

Before we begin.

How is this engagement scoped?

What is priced separately?

Editorial changes, media reconstruction, and visual effects are separate. Additional grading days and output versions are separately scoped. Source defects and inaccurate original exposure may limit recoverable detail. Any change outside the approved scope is priced before it proceeds.
