C100: Outsourcing Color Correction and Grading

[kylemorgan8]

Does anybody have an idea what it typically costs to outsource color correction and grading?

I know this is a loaded question and probably depends on a whole host of variables. I guess I'm just looking for a starting point. Most of my work is 4-6 minute event videos shot with C100/C100 mkII and 1DX shot in c-log. I'm looking for some pretty basic color correction and a light grade to produce a more filmic look.

We generally do a good job getting exposure and white balance correct in camera, so hopefully this person isn't going to be pulling their hair out trying to match different clips and cameras.

Personally I would recommend asking a few colorists what their rates are instead of a forum. Depending on what they're bringing to the table, what you're bringing to the table, what market your in, rates could vary very quickly. I don't want to throw any numbers out because it's not my area of expertise.

However, Ben Brainerd is an excellent colorist in my opinion and would be worth checking out; www.ragingmushroom.com

He's also a very friendly guy and I'm sure he'd be happy to answer any pricing questions and requests you have.
