How Much Does It Cost Of Color Grading A Film In India?

Process & cost of color grading a film in india explained by Swastika Films, New Delhi.

We at Swastika films, New Delhi have been proudly color grading films & providing choice of deliverables since 2014. Over the last 10 years, we have seen the color grading industry & spectrum of its work evolve to an extent where demand now for color grading is more than ever. But still there are a lot queries related to color grading that still remain unanswered to this day. In this blog we have tried to cover the most important aspect related to it, which is pricing. 

We believe cost for color grading a film in india can broadly depend upon the following factors :

1. Expectation of work.
2. Actual footage at hand.
3. The quality of equipment at use.

Expectation Of Work

This is the stage at which the producer of the film introduces the project to the studio. Studio is always interested in understanding more about the project, the story & the several of its moods. It is in the interest of the producer to share these either as a pdf or even as links to existing films with the studio. This sharing of visual information provides perspective to the studio to understand the scope of your work. 

Actual Footage At hand

This is the final edited sequence of your film. The colorist who will work on your footage expects to see this in order to compare your existing footage with your expectation of work. This is important because at this stage the logistics related to color grading of your film are discovered. We at Swastika films allow the producers to drop in with some RAW footage at the studio. This first hand access to the footage is the best possible solution for understanding your color grading gools vs actual footage. It is here that a studio understands the actual task at hand in relation to delivery timeline & quotes accordingly.

The Quality Of Equipment At Use.

With the evolution of the post production industry now there are several different software & related hardware’s available that offer different sets of control & possibilities on footage. It comes without saying that the better the equipment at use, the better will be the color grading results. Try & understand what monitors you will be provided with for grade & what software is at use.
