Hidden within a gothic chapel in Central London, Priory Post is the world’s best-reviewed colour grading and VFX studio.

We offer senior freelance DaVinci Resolve colorist Gabriel Xavier, alongside his exclusive team of advanced VFX artists — available for attended sessions in our luxury, custom-built grading suite, or remotely worldwide. Trusted by the leading brands, agencies and record labels, our distinctive blend of creative vision, technical craft, swift turnarounds, and absolute reliability rivals the best Soho post-houses.

And yet, as an independent boutique, our personal approach offers the affordability and flexibility of a high-end freelancer. With attended grade from £60/hour, and VFX from £150/shot, we uniquely deliver exceptional value and world-class excellence for TVCs, brand content, music videos, feature films and more.

we care about every client, so you can relax and know you’re in great hands

Formerly at an award-winning post-house in Paris, BSC-nominated senior colour grader Gabriel Xavier brings over 10 years experience and 300+ credits, on TVCs, brand content, branded documentary, feature films, music videos, promos, idents, broadcast, short films, artists moving image, web series, animation and more.

A technical expert, Gabriel knows how to bring the best out of any material: Arri, RED, Blackmagic, Sony, Phantom, Canon, Panasonic, GoPro, iPhone, Mavic, 35mm, 16mm, 8mm, VHS, HDV, 3D CGI, 2D animation, ACES, AI and XR+AR stage.

When involved as a pre-production consultant, he can grade camera tests or build a toolbox of shooting LUTs to help you capture the strongest possible material.

Beyond his technical fluency, Gabriel brings a refined aesthetic sensibility grounded in art history, cinema, and contemporary visual culture — making him an essential creative collaborator. Whether the brief calls for glossy commercial polish, poetic naturalism, or state-of-the-art 35mm film emulation, he approaches every project with precision and style.

Transcending the limits of a solo freelancer, Gabriel leads an exclusive in-house team of assistant colourists — all under his personal supervision and client care.

Best of all, all our industry-beating rates are by-the-hour, with no sneaky extras for conform, online work or deliverables.

Unique for an independent boutique, we offer a fully integrated high-end VFX service. Formerly in-house at a major studio, our exclusive VFX team can make your bespoke visual effects dreams come true, using industry-leading After Effects, Nuke, Fusion and more.

For quick fixes, we provide beauty work, cosmetic improvements, retouch and paint removals. This can address dark spots, dark circles, fly-away hairs, messy lipstick, lighting stands, scuffed floors, dirty infinity coves, wires, rigs, camera ops and almost anything else that your client dislikes.

Or for more ambitious VFX tasks, our scalable team has the advanced skills to handle full rotoscoping, compositing, 3D work, product renders, 3D CG and more. We love complex, demanding and bespoke projects, even across entire features and 24-hour turnarounds.

If you’re grading elsewhere, we’ll work with your colourist and editor to offer a standalone VFX service.

Or let us handle your entire post-edit pipeline — beginning with a balanced pre-grade, moving through VFX and then returning to colour for applied looks and final refinements.

With deep first-hand experience of what effects will work best in the grade, Gabriel acts as our in-house creative director — uniquely offering clients the collaborative experience of working directly with a single artist, but with the power of a major post-house on hands behind the scenes.

AI restoration + noise removal

to bring the best out of low quality, archival or underexposed material

For the trickiest shots — where grading tools alone won’t deliver the best-possible result — we offer specialist upscaling and denoising. We can retrieve a surprising level of detail from even the worst film scans, VHS copies, YouTube rips, low quality archive or underexposed footage, transforming your material into clean, usable assets.

Using our high-performance, multi-GPU system, we run advanced, fine-tuned AI algorithms and industry-leading Neat Video — far beyond what’s possible on a laptop. Then, we go further, to manually composite and layer in real texture to ensure your final output has the absolute highest-possible definition.
