Set in a beautiful gothic chapel, Priory Post is the world’s best-reviewed colour grading and VFX studio.

We offer senior freelance DaVinci Resolve colorist Gabriel Xavier, plus his exclusive team of advanced VFX artists, attended in our luxury custom-built Central London color grading suite, or remotely worldwide. Servicing the biggest brands, agencies and record labels, our innovative creativity, technical excellence, quick turnarounds and unbeatable reliability rival any Soho post-house.

And yet as a true boutique, our personal approach also offers the economy and flexibility of a freelancer. We offer remote colour grading sessions starting from £50/hour, attended in-person color grading sessions starting from £80/hour, and VFX starting from £200/shot — a unique combination of affordability and excellence on TVCs, brand content, music videos, feature films and more.

we care about every client, so you can relax and know you’re in great hands

Formerly at an award-winning post-house in Paris, our BSC-nominated senior colour grader Gabriel Xavier has 8+ years experience and 300+ credits, on TVCs, brand content, branded documentary, feature films, music videos, promos, idents, broadcast, short films, artists moving image, web series, animation and more.

As a technical expert, he knows how to bring the best out of any material: Arri, RED, Blackmagic, Sony, Phantom, Canon, Panasonic, GoPro, iPhone, Mavic, 35mm, 16mm, 8mm, VHS, HDV, 3D CGI, 2D animation, ACES and XR+AR stage.

When involved as a pre-production consultant, he can even grade camera tests or build a toolbox of shooting LUTs or to help you get the best footage possible.

At the same time, his sensitive aesthetic understanding of art history, cinema history and current trends in fashion, advertising and film-making make him an essential artistic collaborator. His multifaceted creative approaches can follow any brief — from the glossiest of commercials, to beautiful naturalistic documentary, and even state-of-the-art 35mm film emulation.

Transcending the limited capacity of a single freelancer, Gabriel also leads and manages an exclusive in-house team of accomplished assistant colourists, always with the assurance of his supervision and personal client care.

Best of all, all our industry-beating rates are by-the-hour, with no sneaky extras for conform, online work or deliverables.

Unique for an independent boutique, we also provide a fully comprehensive VFX service. Gabriel leads our exclusive VFX team, formerly in-house at a major studio, to make your bespoke visual effects dreams come true, using industry-leading After Effects, Nuke, Fusion and more.

For quick fixes, we provide beauty work, cosmetic improvements, retouch and paint-prep removals. This can address dark spots, dark circles, fly-away hairs, messy lipstick, lighting stands, scuffed floors, dirty infinity coves, wires, rigs, camera ops and almost anything else that your client dislikes.

Or for more ambitious VFX tasks, our scalable team has the experience to handle full advanced rotoscoping, compositing, 3D work, product renders, 3D characters and more. We love complex, demanding and bespoke projects, even across entire features and quick turnarounds.

If you’re grading elsewhere, we’ll work with your colourist and editor to offer a standalone VFX service.

Or let us handle your entire post-edit workflow — starting from a perfectly balanced pre-grade, moving to VFX and then returning to grade for applied looks and final tweaks.

AI restoration and noise removal

to bring the best out of low quality, archival or underexposed material

For the trickiest shots where grading tools alone aren’t enough to get the best high quality result, we have specialist approaches to upres and denoise footage, allowing us to retrieve a surprising level of detail from even the worst film scans, VHS copies, YouTube rips, low quality archive or underexposed material.

Taking advantage of our powerful GPUs to run bespoke processes that would be impossible on a laptop, we can apply fine-tuned cutting-edge AI algorithms and industry-leading Neat Video across footage and then manually composite and layer in real texture to ensure your final output has the absolute best possible definition.
