"Most shoots get handed off as raw files and forgotten. We edit, grade, and deliver a finished product — film, stills, social cuts — ready to use the day it lands."
EIGHT PACKAGES.
SHOT. CUT. DELIVERED.
BUILT, NOT DESIGNED.
A pool builder we knew finished a $180,000 backyard. Gunite. Fire features. Custom hardscape. The full build.
Then he posted one iPhone photo. Taken at 1pm. Lawn chair in the corner.
The job was extraordinary. The photo was a crime. Above Grade exists to fix that.
