HDR AI Video Production in Darwin

AI generators hand you an 8-bit SDR file. Darwin clients who need an HDR master for streaming, YouTube HDR or large-format screens need more than that. We generate at the ceiling, uplift through Topaz Hyperion 2.5 and grade in a colour-managed Resolve pipeline to a master that passes QC.

Why Darwin Clients Work With ApostleNO. /01

Darwin's defence, gas and government clients commission film where site access is expensive, and AI-augmented production from existing stills and plates removes most travel from the budget.

Remote production and finishing from Sydney. Defence and government clients can request the sovereign finishing tier.

How We Get AI Footage to HDRNO. /03

Only Luma Ray 3.2 and LTX-2.5 generate high bit depth at source. Runway, Veo, Kling and Seedance are 8 to 10-bit SDR. We generate at the ceiling, clean with Topaz Starlight Precise 2.5, uplift with Hyperion 2.5 to 10-bit ProRes BT.2020 PQ or 16-bit ACES EXR, then grade on an HDR timeline in Resolve with a cinematographer making the calls. Read the full HDR workflow.

Sensitive and Sovereign WorkNO. /04

For government, defence and security clients in Darwin we offer an air-gapped finishing path: no client material touches a public generation API or cloud enhancement service. Scope and timing are agreed per project.
