SCENE 01 / COLOR CORRECTION
Color Correction
Professional color correction services ensuring technical accuracy and visual consistency across your entire production.
Here is how this works in practice. Color fix is the tech process of normalizing and balancing footage to achieve steady exposure, white balance, and tonal range across all shots. This foundational step corrects inconsistencies introduced by changing lighting conditions, different cameras, or differing shooting environments across production.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with colorists and grading suites equipped to deliver pro color fix for your project. Our team sets up media preparation, session scheduling, and quality control to make sure your footage achieves steady, in tech accurate color that forms a solid foundation for creative grading.

DaVinci Resolve Advanced and Baselight suites at Mafilm Color, Pannonia Post and Origo Post
Here is how this works in practice. Color fix for shoots finishing in Hungary routes through a tight cluster of calibrated grading suites built around Mafilm Color Budapest (the heritage Hungarian post-lab arm), Pannonia Post Budapest. Plus Origo Post (in-house at Origo Studios, where Dune Part Two finishing portions ran under Greig Fraser's oversight). We book session time at these rooms against project scope, with Magyar Filmlaboratórium's heritage post-prod lab and Filmtörténet Post-prod Budapest covering archive correction and reissue conform. Suites run DaVinci Resolve Studio Advanced and Baselight on Sony BVM-HX310 reference monitors.
Here is the short of it. Plus full color-managed pipelines from ARRIRAW, RED R3D, Sony Venice, and Canon C700 sources through to delivery. Colorist talent draws on Tamás Sas (many Hungarian Film Week awards), Péter Sebök (global Hungarian colorist working across European co-productions). Plus Tibor Sárosi, with assistant colorist support trained through the SZFE Budapest editing and post custom.
Here is the breakdown. Correction passes set up tech baseline conform. Exposure neutralisation, white-balance unification across multi-camera setups, sensor mismatch correction between ARRI Alexa Mini LF, RED Komodo. Plus Sony Venice 2 capture chains, and broadcast-safe luminance and chrominance compliance for each shot. Reference looks land from Hungarian cinematography canon. The desaturated handheld documentary palette of Son of Saul (Mátyás Erdély for László Nemes), the Belle Époque saffron of Sunset (Erdély/Nemes again), the Berlin Belle Époque period palette of Mephisto (Lajos Koltai for István Szabó).
Here is what that looks like on the ground. And conform is built to support whichever creative grade the director ultimately chooses. Deliverables ship in HDR (Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HLG) and SDR trim passes for NMHH (Hungarian Radio and Television Authority) broadcast standards (MTVA, RTL Klub, TV2), EBU R128 European co-production, Netflix Hungary office QC, HBO Max Hungary, Disney+, Amazon Prime, and Pluto TV regional QC. IMF packages route through DNEG, Pannonia Post, and Mafilm pipelines. DCPs ship via DCP-O-Matic and EasyDCP for Cinema City Hungary, Toldi Mozi, Müpa Hungarian Cinema, TIFF, Berlinale, and Cannes festival deliveries alongside each master.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between color correction and color grading?
Here is the breakdown. Color fix is the tech process of balancing exposure, neutralizing color casts, and making sure consistency across shots. Grading is the creative process that comes after, where we develop specific looks and styles. We mostly complete correction first to set up a clean foundation before applying creative grades.
Can you match footage from different cameras?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Yes, we specialize in matching footage from many camera systems with different color science. Whether you're combining ARRI, RED, Sony, or Canon footage, we balance each source to create seamless scene matching across your entire project.
How do you ensure broadcast compliance?
Here is how the picture comes together. We use pro scopes (waveform, vectorscope, histogram) and automated QC tools to check all footage meets broadcast-safe levels for your target platform. This has luminance, chrominance, and gamut compliance for specs like EBU R128, SMPTE, and platform-specific needs.
What formats and resolutions do you support?
Here is what we have to work with. We handle all pro formats including ARRIRAW, RED R3D, Sony RAW, ProRes, DNxHD, and more in resolutions from HD through 8K. Our color-managed pipeline makes sure accurate reproduction no matter source format or delivery specs.
