Why SME Needs Color Correction

In the SME 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 Correction delivers measurable results that transform how sme professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for SME

Small and medium businesses face a different video challenge than corporations: they need professional results on budgets that typically range from 1,500 to 8,000 euros per project. The owner or manager is usually the decision-maker and the on-screen talent, which means production crews must excel at directing non-actors and making them feel comfortable on camera. The most impactful content for SMBs is the Google Business Profile video, the homepage hero film, and customer testimonial compilations — these three assets alone can transform online credibility. Turnaround expectations are fast (1-2 weeks), and the production process needs to be simple with minimal disruption to daily operations. The KPI that resonates most with SMB owners is inbound lead volume rather than abstract brand metrics.

Video Challenges in SME

Humanizing the Corporate Brand

72% of job seekers research company culture before applying. Internal communication videos reduce misunderstanding by 50% compared to email alone. Yet many corporations struggle to produce video that feels authentic rather than corporate and stiff.

From employer branding to annual reports, executive communications to training modules, corporate video must balance professionalism with relatability. The challenge is creating content that employees and stakeholders actually want to watch.

Success Stories & Case Studies

Global Employer Branding Campaign

A multinational launched a video-first employer branding campaign featuring real employees across 8 countries. Applications increased 156% and employee turnover decreased 23% as new hires arrived with accurate culture expectations.

Key Benefits for SME

Engagement Across All Stakeholders

Corporate video impacts every audience: employer branding reduces cost-per-hire by 40%, training videos reduce onboarding time by 30%, executive thought leadership videos drive 3x more engagement than written posts on LinkedIn, and annual report videos increase shareholder engagement by 55%.

Our Color Correction Process

Color Grading Process

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.

What Makes Color Correction Unique

Etalonnage (color finishing) is the final technical pass that ensures your graded footage meets broadcast, cinema, or streaming delivery standards. We verify gamut compliance, check for illegal colors, set peak white and black levels, apply trim passes for HDR-to-SDR conversion, and ensure consistency from the first shot to the last. This service typically follows creative grading and is essential for projects destined for TV broadcast (EBU R128 compliance), theatrical release (DCI spec), or platform delivery (Netflix, Amazon specs). Turnaround is 1-2 days for short-form, 3-5 days for features. We provide a QC report with every delivery.
