The magic of partnership and collaboration between creative people, where having fun makes the work better. The kind that makes a story… more than just a story.
About Frame Linear
Founded by editor & colorist Peder Morgenthaler in 2005, Frame Linear is a boutique color grading & finishing studio dedicated to the evolving art & science of the moving image. Based just south of Denver, Colorado, we collaborate with brands & filmmakers around the world to create crafted, honed experiences.
Right-Sized Every Time
We’re a different take on the traditional post studio. We keep it high & tight, our operation nimble. With our low fixed costs, we’re able to provide perfectly-tailored post solutions to projects of all budgets & sizes. And for the big, complex jobs, we leverage our network of amazing partners & freelance artists to provide a seamless, project-managed post experience that delivers the goods while keeping costs reasonable. You want those dollars on the screen, not gobbled up by middle management.
Next Is Now
This business never stops evolving, and neither do we. We’re constantly striving to stay ahead of the curve, adopting new standards & anticipating trends in technologies, techniques & looks. Whether its mastering in ACES, building a no-render VFX collaboration pipeline or grading for HDR, we’re on it. And through our relationships with some of the top tech companies in the space, we’ve got an insider’s take on what’s coming next. Work with us for long and you’ll seeing into the future too.
Craft Is Key
Our clients’ work is at the center of everything we do. We’re constantly learning, pushing our craft forward so that we can bring a fresh eye and new look to every job. Details make the difference, and we’re into the little things.
Relationships Are Everything
We love the technology, the art can be incredibly satisfying, but it’s the people that keep us coming back for more. We’re addicted to the collaboration process, the magical phenomenon where 2+2=5. We love breaking down looks with the DP, finding the emotional center of a scene with the director, & nailing the perfect hue with the art director. And we love the human moments in-between, where clients become friends we can’t wait to see again.
