Hi, I'm Thomas and I'm looking forward to giving you more information about our patent-pending technology and the products and services we are developing.
We, The Color Grading Company, are a media company specializing in video post-production for television and film. We are based at Mediafields Studios in 50226 Cologne-Frechen, Europaallee 50, Germany. The CGC has highly professionally equipped processing rooms for film post-processing at its location, which comply with the guidelines of the international broadcast industry. The company's core competence lies in color grading (color enhancement, increasing the image quality and expressiveness of film and television images) and beauty grading (anti-aging, removal of wrinkles, scars, birthmarks).
Since Corona, we have started developing web tools for collaboration, marketing and entertaining. This year we have introduced our first 'service as a product' called ShotCompare. ShotCompare contains technology from the field of high-end film enhancement for use on the web, with protected intellectual property. We are now looking for partners and are open to requests to implement our technology in your projects and for partnerships to mutually expand our business.
Thomas Poerschke
CEO, The Color Grading Company
In our post-production colorgrading studios we beautify video recordings. Anyone who has ever seen the "Making Of" of a blockbuster knows that almost every picture has been changed in some way. The differences between Before & After can range from tiny to huge; to understand them, you need to see them, but therefore really expensive video equipment is needed (Figure 1). To change that, we've developed a method for video comparison that allows anyone to see the differences between two videos using a standard web browser, without the need for expensive video equipment.

What sectors do video comparisons other than video post-production?
The patent-pending method discloses a combination of simultaneous control of two or more videos, uninterrupted switching between the various display modes and synchronous playback of the separate videos within one web player. The intellectual property is protected by European and international patent applications.
Having multiple videos in a single player has the great advantage that the user can enjoy different viewing modes within one screen. Utilizing a multi-video player on the web enhances the viewing experience by empowering the viewer to take on the role of a director, enabling them to interactively choose from the various parallel video streams provided.
Please move the slider. Use the B/A button in the top right-hand corner to switch between the Before/After view. You can switch to the full-screen view (top left corner).

As the new player based on multi-video technology impressively shows, even small artistic changes are now clearly recognizable when comparing the original media 1:1 with the reworked media. The video comparison can be viewed on any internet-enabled device.

Advantages of the technology
Our Multi-Video Player is the first video player in the web with a slider, which allows you to smoothly change the view between the two videos. And just like the YouTube player, the video slider player can also be embedded in all kinds of websites. Creating and embedding Multi-Video Players as a service is unique in the market. The embedded players can interactively present products and services from many industries so that website viewers can better evaluate the benefits and quality of the products and services offered. The Multi-Video Player embedded in websites improves the Internet experience while improving the marketing and distribution of the technology.

To create, embed and manage multiple videos within one single Webplayer we are creating a scaleable cloud-based multi-video platform for a commercial B2B service. Video right owners can upload and manage their videos in scalable workspaces for collaboration, publishing, entertainment... Since you can use it to create video comparisons of several shots, we have named our service “ShotCompare”. ShotCompare's business model can be based on the subscription model with payable Add-Ons. The platform brings together manufacturers and their customers from the fields of information technology, software development and media services. Multi-Videos such as video comparisons can be shared, reviewed and approved or embedded in websites - all under constant control by users' platform accounts.
