Languid arthouse grade for an A24 feature — amber-magenta dusk palette held across 96 minutes.
A languid arthouse palette for 96 minutes.
Atlas Pictures came to us with a single page of script and a question: could a stop-motion short, made over six months, set the visual tone for an entire upcoming streaming series? The piece had to feel like a film — not a stylised teaser, not a calling card. A film.
We agreed on three constraints up front. The story had to land emotionally. The character had to feel hand-made — not motion-graphics-clean. And every shot had to be one we could put in front of a feature audience without flinching.
Holding the palette for 96 minutes.
Arthouse grading is a marathon — selected stills from the reference work, the grade rooms, and the final master.
