Professional color correction

[Jet Nine]

Anybody know how much a professional color correction house would charge for a 10 minute documentary?

Looking for broadcast quality standards.

Any suggestions of where to go in LA?

Thnx

Typically 250-500 per hour depending on the gear and the skills of the colorist. Hard to say how long it would take- depends on how much work is fixing vs. creative and how long you want to experiment, etc. I bet you could get away with 2 or 3 hours.

The DR Group....ask for TJ. GREAT colorist. He uses COLOR to color correct. http://www.thedrgroup.com/
Filmlook...Ask for Robert. http://www.filmlook.com/ The colorist there (forgetting his name...BAD Shane) is also amazing. They use a DaVinci.

Maybe you could get a Pro colorist to "moonlight" on your production using your gear (if you have 'Color' or something similar).

I've used Dave Hussey at Company 3 in Santa Monica before. But that wouldn't be a cheap route.
