Motion Graphics and Effects
Motion graphics will take your production to a whole new visual level by animating still images, text, graphics, and video. Digital Wave creates 2D and 3D motion graphics for use in broadcast, corporate and other video productions. Add some extra spice and sizzle to your otherwise static video production. Our animations add deeper meaning and flair to your existing text, photos and graphical elements.
Professional Colour Correction
We colour-correct your footage to maximize the visual impact of your video production. We not only salvage poorly shot video footage but we also adjust normal or flat shots to give them a certain look or feel. We can save an under or overexposed shot which had previously been unusable. Colour Correction and Enhancement no longer sits exclusively in the hands of big budget productions. Whether it is a commercial, corporate video, short film, or full-length feature, The Chopping Block tackles your Colour Enhancement project with panache. The colourist’s job is to balance and match scenes, to give the filmmakers exactly what they had envisioned, and to bring an extraordinary creative spark to a film’s visual style.
