This is where image becomes feeling.
This wasn’t a shoot we directed. It was a patchwork of footage, some shot by Suresh, some provided by the client.
Our job was to unify it. Using the reference mood board as a guide, we matched tones, balanced exposure, and brought visual continuity across scenes.

Visual Brief, Mood & Tone
This was the reference look shared with me at the start. The brief was simple. Gritty, cinematic, textured. Something that feels real but still carries a stylised edge. My job was to bring this tone to life across the Motul sequence, keeping things cohesive while working with mixed footage and a half-finished grade.

Grading Breakdown: Forest Ride Sequence
This scene was handed over partially graded by another party. My role was to bring consistency across the sequence, fixing color imbalances, restoring missing tones, and matching the look so each shot flowed like it came from the same camera, same day.

Grading from Log: The Ideal Starting Point
This segment came straight from camera in Log format (a flat, unprocessed image that gives us maximum control in post.)
Starting with log footage means we can push and pull colors more precisely, recover detail in highlights and shadows, and dial in the exact mood we want. It’s the ideal base for a polished, cinematic grade.
