Color Correction

Here is how this works in practice. We run color fix sessions at Park Road Post Wellington and at boutique houses including Pop Productions, Resolved Pictures, and Top Films. Park Road's correction bays are built around DaVinci Resolve Studio. Black Magic Design's headquarters are in Auckland, so deployments here run the newest panel-and-software combinations weeks ahead of overseas markets — and FilmLight Baselight is configured for shoots that prefer the FilmLight matrix or are roundtripping with European post houses.

Here is how this works in practice. Correction work covers shot-to-shot balance, primary exposure and white-balance normalisation, secondary skin-tone work for global and Pasifika talent, and camera-match passes across ARRI Alexa 35, RED Komodo, Sony Venice 2, and Canon C500 Mk II — all common rentals from Panavision Auckland, Rocket Rentals, and Lemac The capital. ACES color running is the standard pipeline setup on global shoots, with input device transforms handled per camera and output transforms locked to Rec.709, P3, Rec.2020, and HDR delivery space targets.

Here is the short of it. Wellington's correction lineage runs through Park Road Post's Lord of the Rings finishing campaigns and the today's Avatar: The Way of Water roundtrips with Weta FX and Skywalker Sound. Black Magic Design's Auckland engineering and the global Resolve roadmap make NZ a high-fidelity test market for new correction tools. Broadcast deliveries align with AS-11 specs for TVNZ, Three, and Sky NZ. Streaming deliveries lock to Netflix's color science specs, Apple TV+ Dolby Vision, Amazon HDR10+, and HLG distribution. Privacy Act 2020 applies to talent footage stored during the correction window. AWS Auckland Region (2024) and Azure NZ North (2025) give compliant storage. Te reo Māori onscreen-text correction follows iwi-asked glyph and macron rendering. GST 15 percent, NZD invoicing, ACC accident cover, and zero capital gains tax apply.
