While the term color grading refers to the whole process of adjusting the color from the source file to the final output, the process is split into two parts: Color correction: The process of adjusting the basic color and white balance, exposure, and contrast to be consistent from shot to shot.
Color grading: Once the color has been corrected, the footage can be color graded to fine tune the colors and create a specific look. Camera Color Profiles When a camera records a scene, it collects digital data and then translates that data into a viewable format.
Technical or Normalization LUTs Most videographers are going to use a log color profile in order to capture the most possible information.
Perform Video Color Correction Once your clips have been normalized, you need to color correct the video. Color Grade Your Footage Once your color correction is completed, you can then color grade your footage.

So about 1 day per 30 mins 2D and 2 days per 30 mins 3D, plus another of your own time for pride and joy! My standard number for a fiction feature film is hours of pure grading no including conform, confcheck, title insertion, etc. Minimum for a fiction feature is about hours if you just want something simple balancing and matching, small adjustments.

Here's a question about time. Or is there already a lot of prep done before the color sessions? How does a bigger post house operate, when a colorist does different projects in a day?

I've recently become fascinated by this music video for UK duo Goldfrapp. I'm trying to work out whether the clip was shot monochrome RED maybe? I'd be keen to hear your comments and opinions. Grab the producers after lunch and hopefully, the rest of the afternoon is spent adding final touches, not re-grading! Colouring with a number of clients in the room often slows things down.
Make sure you get a verbal lock-off on the look. If I get sent a second TVC via the internet, I normally charge three hours for the grade with a one hour buffer that we may or may not need. After two hours I will upload an H. Get the feedback via phone, Skype or e-mail, then use the final hour to make the changes. Maybe send one more WIP, then finish. I always send the WIP version to myself so I can review on my laptop or iPad, the same way the client will.
Factor in file sizes and your internet speed, especially when you have a tight deadline. I am getting more and more branded content films. These are primarily for the internet and trade shows. Imagine Hugh Jackman has a contract with BMW who wants a two to three-minute narrative film that shows the vehicle in a stylish way.
It must have TVC-type production values without the budget. Often you will see a TV 30 seconds with additional three-minute branded content filmed.
Music videos can be very difficult to quote. Strong looks, lots of cuts, and matching VFX shots are all factors in how long it will take. Music videos traditionally have a strong visual style, which makes it harder to create and in turn harder to match. Make sure you have the audio available for your project.
