Remote Color Correction
TK Digital has worked on numerous international projects with world class colorists. Now, your Japan-based production can hire the US-based colorist of your choice without travelling overseas. To work with a colorist based in the US, you only have to make a short train ride to Kobito no Kutsu, our partner facility located in Tsukiji, Tokyo. Your colorist will be working in TK Digital's facility located in Brooklyn, NY. As your colorist works with you, you can see what he's doing on a monitor in Japan that's perfectly calibrated with the monitor the colorist is using in the US and talk to your colorist in real time. Expand the possibilities of your projects with TK Digital.
