In the Daily Newspaper sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Color Grading delivers measurable results that transform how daily newspaper professionals communicate with their audience.
Daily newspapers face a brutal speed requirement — stories break and age within hours. Video teams at dailies need rapid turnaround: reporter-shot smartphone footage edited into clean 90-second explainers, animated maps for local news events, and live-streamed press conferences with lower-third branding. The challenge is producing broadcast-quality content on a print-newsroom budget. Short vertical clips for Instagram Stories and TikTok drive younger audience acquisition, while longer interview segments anchor the website's video section and support podcast crossover content. Every video must reinforce the paper's editorial identity and local authority.
Print and digital publishers face a fundamental transformation: audiences consume 78% of news and editorial content through video. The shift from text-first to multimedia newsrooms requires new skills, workflows, and production capabilities — while maintaining editorial quality and journalistic standards.
Publishing houses must create author interviews, book trailers, and editorial video content to compete for attention. The economics are challenging: video production costs more than text but generates significantly more engagement and advertising revenue.
A regional newspaper launched a daily video news segment alongside their print edition. Digital subscriptions grew 156%, advertising revenue from digital video exceeded print ad revenue within 18 months, and the newsroom won two digital journalism awards.
A publishing house created an author interview and reading series for their catalog. Book sales increased 89% for featured titles, and the series built a subscriber community of 45K loyal readers.
Publishing video drives sustainable transformation: video news content generates 6x more social shares, author interview videos increase book sales by 89%, and video-first editorial strategies drive 3x more social sharing and 4x higher advertising CPMs. Publishers with strong video content see 65% higher digital subscription conversion rates.
1. Color Analysis: We review all footage, identify exposure/white balance issues, and establish the target look with mood references and LUT exploration.
2. Primary Correction: Exposure normalization, white balance correction, and overall color balance across all shots for consistency.
3. Creative Grade: Scene-by-scene color grading to achieve the desired mood, with custom power windows, secondary corrections, and film emulation.
4. Final QC: Broadcast compliance check (if needed), HDR/SDR delivery, and export of custom LUTs for future use.
Color grading is the creative process of establishing the visual mood and tone of your film through deliberate color manipulation. Working in DaVinci Resolve's node-based pipeline, we shape skin tones, push shadows toward specific hues, control highlight rolloff, and create a look that supports your story — warm and nostalgic, cold and clinical, or desaturated and gritty. This goes beyond technical correction (which we handle separately): grading is an artistic choice. A 5-minute project takes 2-3 days; feature-length work takes 1-2 weeks. We deliver graded masters in ProRes 4444 or DNxHR and can export matching stills for marketing use.
You receive: color-graded master in ProRes/DPX, custom LUT package, before/after comparison frames, HDR and SDR versions, and color-consistent stills for marketing.
