SCENE 01 / COLOR GRADING
Color Grading
Creative color grading that transforms your footage into cinematic masterpieces with emotional depth and visual impact.
Here is how this works in practice. Grading is the creative process of manipulating color, contrast, and tonal qualities to set up mood, visual style, and narrative meaning. Working in calibrated grading suites, colorists shape the emotional tone of each scene through deliberate color choices that serve the director's storytelling vision.
Here is the short of it. We set up grading sessions with skilled colorists in professionally calibrated grading environments. Our team manages media preparation, reference material, and scheduling to make sure your production receives the creative color treatment that brings your director's visual vision to life on screen.

On Location
Croatia's Zagreb finishing community delivers creative colour grading in calibrated suites, building on a colour and finishing infrastructure that expanded through major international service productions.
Here is how this works in practice. We deliver grading for shoots finishing in Croatia, shaping contrast, colour, and tonal mood to serve the director's storytelling intent. Our team books calibrated grading suites in Zagreb working primarily in DaVinci Resolve Studio, with Baselight and FilmLight systems ready where a project's pipeline calls for them. We start with a creative brief and reference review, develop the look on key scenes, then apply and refine it across the project for consistency and emotional impact.
Here is the short of it. Grading is performed natively in HDR on calibrated HDR reference monitors, with SDR trim passes created for standard distribution, and the pipeline supports HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG. We give remote grading sessions over calibrated streaming so directors can work with in real time from anywhere. Whether the project needs a restrained naturalistic grade or a bold stylised treatment. We match the way to the story and prepare final masters in each format the release needs, from theatrical to streaming.
Here is the breakdown. Croatia's grading capacity rests on a finishing sector that grew with global service shoots. The colour and finishing infrastructure built through high-profile shoots — 'Game of Thrones' across Dubrovnik and Split, 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' and 'Robin Hood' in Dubrovnik. Widened the Zagreb grading-suite footprint, while HRT, the public TV networks, sustains steady grading work for domestic drama and documentary. As an EBU member, Croatia applies EBU tech specs, keeping graded masters compatible with European broadcast and the wider global market, with DCI-compliant deliverables for festival and theatrical release including the Pula Film Festival.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. The Zagreb finishing community draws on a deep visual-arts custom rooted in the celebrated Zagreb School of Animation. We advise on the 25 percent 'Filming in Croatia' rebates administered by HAVC. This can apply to qualifying post-prod spend. Make sure each graded master meets the tech specs of its release sites.
