Giuseppe brought clarity, momentum and true artistry to our projects when we needed it most.
Before working with Giuseppe, we were honestly under a lot of pressure. Our deadline was extremely tight, and the footage just wasn’t feeling cohesive visually. We knew what we wanted emotionally, but we weren’t quite landing on a unified look that matched the creative direction.
I worked with Giuseppe on two different projects. One project was for a spec commercial shot indoors and the other was for a short film all shot outdoors. Both required different techniques and Giuseppe really nailed everything, which is a testament to his skill.
From the moment we started collaborating, Giuseppe brought clarity and momentum to the process. He asked thoughtful questions about the comps we were aiming for, and after sharing a few reference frames, he quickly delivered multiple look options, each with subtle variations that showed how deeply he understood nuance. His attention to detail was remarkable, and it was clear he genuinely cares about the craft of color.
One highlight was watching his 30-minute breakdown of how he arrived at the final looks. It was not only informative but honestly inspiring.
When we saw the finished work, we felt relieved, excited and incredibly grateful. The project finally looked cohesive, intentional and elevated, exactly what we had been hoping for. It felt like our footage had finally been given the visual identity it deserved.
Working with Giuseppe was also just effortless. He was communicative, fast and consistently responsive. In fact, he was so on top of things that we occasionally felt guilty for not replying as quickly as he did. He even followed up when we were slow to respond, not to push, but because he genuinely cared about keeping us on schedule.
I would absolutely recommend Giuseppe to anyone who needs thoughtful, detail-driven color work, especially teams under a tight timeline or creatives who want a collaborator that treats the project with the same respect and care they do. I would happily work with him again and will be recommending him for future projects without hesitation.
