Bart McCarthy - Q Guy

Color Grading for Festival Submission

We were brought in to elevate the visual tone of Q-Guy, a festival submission starring Bart McCarthy and directed by Tess McCarthy. Our role was focused entirely on color grading, with a tight turnaround and a clear creative objective: to bring the film’s look in line with its narrative tone and festival-ready standards.

Using DaVinci Resolve, our colorists crafted a rich, cinematic grade that enhanced the emotional texture of each scene. Working from raw footage, we matched tones, adjusted contrast, refined skin tones, and shaped the overall atmosphere—delivering a cohesive visual experience across the entire film.

A Dramatic Transformation, Frame by Frame

Before-and-after stills showcase just how much of a transformation took place in the grade. What began as flat, unprocessed footage became a bold and intentional visual statement—cinematic, balanced, and emotionally resonant. Every shot was shaped with precision, from the subtle shifts in skin tones to the overall mood and palette of the film.

Our post-production team worked with care and urgency, using DaVinci Resolve to refine every frame. The result was more than just a technical upgrade—it was a visual identity that elevated the film and met the demands of festival presentation. Delivered on time, with a finish that exceeded expectations.
