Colour Grading and Colour Correction

See for yourself - Zoos Victoria

Our work for Zoos Victoria combined bright pops of colours with hard contrasts and shading in both live-action shots and animated sequences.

The sheer depth of each scene also called for the highest standards of finishing to ensure every visual element received the attention it deserved.

Why colour correction matters

With animation and motion graphics, we have complete control over our colour palettes.

But if a project also incorporates live-action, we need to guarantee that colours are of a consistent high quality.

Our in-house colourists will make certain every piece of live action looks just as vivid or vibrant as the animation it complements.

Jumbla is a place of opportunity, growth, creation and fun. Here are just some of the reasons we’re proud to call ourselves “Jumblers”.

The People

We’re a lively bunch of creators who are passionate about what we do, but don’t take ourselves too seriously. We’re a diverse mix of unique personalities, socially united by our common interest in design. We like to hang out around the big communal table for lunches, crack open the beer and cider on Friday afternoons and do an organised night out once a month.

When a brief comes in, we band together to provide the best result possible. Our team comprises of around 20 people in creative roles and only about 8 people in other roles (such as producers) - unlike many studios today, which seem to have a reverse configuration.
