    The Colour Grade

    The brief for the grade was to maintain a naturalistic aesthetic while ensuring the visuals remained dynamic and engaging. Whisky had to look rich and inviting, with brand colours accurately represented throughout.

    My focus was on achieving strong subject separation, flawless skin tones, and an overall look that felt deep, refined, and immersive- enhancing both the documentary’s storytelling and its cinematic appeal
