JOB OVERVIEW

Freelance Colorist — Custom LUT Creation & Color Grading

Company: CLNR Studios
Engagement : Freelance / project-based
Location : Remote
Compensation : Competitive; based on experience and project scope

CLNR Studios is seeking an experienced freelance colorist for ongoing, project-based work. We’re looking for someone with an exceptional eye, strong technical expertise, and the ability to create distinctive visual treatments across commercial, branded, narrative, and social content.

This is a gig-based opportunity for a dependable creative partner we can call on whenever a project requires professional color grading or custom LUT development. We offer a substantial budget for exceptional talent and consistently polished, high-end work.

Responsibilities

- Professionally color-correct and grade footage
- Create technical and creative custom LUTs
- Establish cohesive looks across multiple cameras and lighting environments
- Perform shot matching, skin-tone refinement, and secondary corrections
- Collaborate with directors, editors, and producers to translate references into finished visual treatments
- Prepare grades for web, social, broadcast, and other delivery formats
- Maintain organized project files and reliable color-management workflows
- Complete revisions efficiently and within agreed timelines

Requirements

- Advanced proficiency in DaVinci Resolve
- Strong working knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro and round-trip workflows
- Proven experience creating custom LUTs
- Thorough understanding of color science, color management, log formats, codecs, scopes, and delivery standards
- Excellent judgment around exposure, contrast, skin tones, color separation, and visual consistency
- Ability to match footage across different cameras and shooting conditions
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to exceptional work
- Dependable communication and deadline management
- Ability to work independently and accommodate fast turnarounds when required

Experience with HDR, ACES, commercials, music videos, fashion, beauty, and remote review platforms is a plus.

To Apply

Please submit:

- A color-grading reel or portfolio
- Before-and-after examples, if available
- Examples of custom LUTs or looks you’ve developed
- A brief description of your workflow and technical setup
- Your availability, typical turnaround time, and project or day rate
- A note clarifying your role in each submitted project

Shortlisted applicants may be invited to complete a brief paid test using footage supplied by CLNR Studios.

We’re looking to build a long-term relationship with a hardworking, highly skilled colorist—not simply fill a single project. If you combine refined creative taste with technical precision and reliable execution, we’d love to hear from you.
