On Location
Post-Production Finishing for Japan
Once principal photography wraps, whether in Tokyo, Sapporo, or on location across the Setouchi Sea, our post team takes hold of your raw media and starts turning it into broadcast-ready content.
Tokyo editors, colourists, and Dolby-certified mixing stages β every NHK, Netflix Japan, and theatrical DCP spec landed without leaving the country.
We serve features, TV series, doc commissions, and digital platform deliverables, holding a steady quality bar across each format. Our editorial and finishing flows are built for global teamwork, so overseas clients can review cuts, ask for revisions, and sign off changes without a rep on the ground in Japan.
Our Editing & Assembly service handles everything from first build through picture lock, with editors who bring credits in both narrative and non-fiction forms. Colour Correction and Colour Grading follow, where our colorists set the visual language your shoot needs. The brief might call for the neon glow of a Shinjuku night scene or the cool, soft tones of a Kyoto winter exterior.
Multi-Cam Sync is on hand for shoots that join interview setups with observational coverage, lining up all streams before the edit starts.
FAQs
Post-Production FAQs
Answers about timelines, deliverables, and how we handle your post-production needs.
What's included in post-production services?
The full pipeline starts with data intake. From there we move through Avid and Premiere offline editing, DaVinci grading with HDR and ACES workflows, Nuke compositing for VFX shots, Pro Tools sound editorial, and Dolby-certified mixing. We conform the cut against the camera originals and run automated quality control checks, then build delivery materials for NHK, streaming services, and distribution channels worldwide. Japanese and English versioning is ready across the board.
How long does post-production typically take?
Japanese commercials usually take about three weeks from picture lock to final master. TV episodes run four to six weeks, depending on how much visual effects work is needed. Documentaries need eight to twelve weeks to finish sound design and dial in the color. Features vary widely, from \10 weeks for dialogue-based dramas to 16-20 weeks for projects with heavy visual effects. We have hit rush broadcast deadlines before, but realistic schedules give you better work.
Do you handle deliverables for Japanese broadcasters?
That is our specialty. We deliver to NHK, TV Asahi, Fuji TV, and TBS specs often, and each one has its own loudness needs, captioning standards, and tape-versus-file preferences. For global projects, we handle Netflix Partner Program specs, Amazon IMF, Apple ProRes deliverables, and cinema DCPs with KDM management. Full QC reports and revision rounds come standard.
Can you match existing looks from a series or brand?
Our colorists match an exact visual style by pairing CDLs and LUTs with reference stills. We track grade data so it stays consistent across every episode and season of a series. For brand work, we follow client-OK'd style guides and set approval gates along the project timeline. If you are picking up a show that graded elsewhere, send us the old LUTs and references, and we will match the look in a calibrated Tokyo suite.
What camera formats can you work with?
We take everything shooting in Japan right now: ARRIRAW and ProRes from Alexa 35 and Mini LF, REDCODE from V-RAPTOR and Komodo, Sony Venice X-OCN, Blackmagic RAW, and Canon Cinema RAW. Our team also handles archival content from Japanese institutions, including HDCAM SR and DigiBeta formats and 2K DPX scans from film sources. We run a full HDR pipeline that supports both Dolby Vision and HDR10 mastering.
