FADY MELEK

BASELIGHT COLOURIST

Most grades don't fail because of the tools. They fail because the look and the story stop agreeing with each other — the palette drifts from what the director pictured, or the footage starts fighting the DP's intent, and nobody quite says so out loud.

That's the part of the job I've spent 15 years on — reading what a director and DP are actually after, then building a grade that serves that intent instead of sitting on top of it. Taken 3, Transporter Refueled, 2022 World Cup songs — different projects, different references, same job: make the image agree with the feeling everyone's already chasing.

If this is the experience your project needs, I might be the right fit.

Fady is one of the most skilled colorists I've worked with. His deep understanding of color science and strong artistic instincts consistently bring out a level of richness and detail in the image that goes beyond what I thought was possible.”

Working with Fady on the color grading of Orca was more than just a professional experience for me; with his precision and deep sensitivity, he showed that color grading is not merely a technical step, but an essential part of storytelling, greatly contributing to the film's final atmosphere.”
