One Last Thing

One Last Thing

Grade Club Isn't for Everyone

(Capacity is capped at 5 clients, for one)

(Capacity is capped at 5 clients, for one)

It's ideal for you if you are:

  • regularly producing 2-10 films a month.

  • creating mainly for online use.

  • happy to work remotely.


It's probably not for you if you:

  • want to attend grades in person (although remote streamed reviews are available on the higher tier).

  • are mostly doing work for TV & theatrical release (you want to be in the same, controlled environment, looking at the same screen).

  • are doing HDR work - Same as above. It's relatively easy for freelancers to offer HDR. It's also incredibly easy (and common) for HDR to need re-doing because the original setup wasn't right.


Book a quick call here and let's see if we're a fit.

There'll be zero pitching - promise.

  • "Mike grades everything I produce. He has an artist’s eye, which for me is crucial to understanding colour and doing the job well. I feel the fact that he is a talented illustrator and painter in his own right does give him that little edge. Amusing and fun to work with. Will always be the first person I call for the job until one of us dies."

    Ollie McMullen

  • "Had a great experience working with Mike. His colour grade was brilliant. He was very inviting and open to suggestions, and even offered various ways in which the grade should go. Always open to feedback, and worked brilliantly with any notes that were sent back. I look forward to working with Mike on my next project. Highly recommended!"
