Varun Kalyanasundaram Colorist | Editor | DOP

I work across short films, commercial projects, and live events, bringing together cinematography, editing, and color through a hands-on visual approach shaped by the New York Film Academy and my background in visual communication at SRM Institute of Science and Technology.

All Work

I wanted the reel to lead the room, with the rest of the work gathered right behind it.

Cine Reel

This reel is the quickest way into how I see rhythm, faces, texture, and momentum.

I cut it to feel immediate and visceral, moving through the light, contrast, and framing choices I keep returning to across my work.

Frames I Keep Returning To

These are some of the stills that best capture the mood I like to chase.

A close portrait from The Wicket That has never Fallen

A practical-lit still from Stage Lighting

An outdoor still from Two and a Half minutes

A conversation still from The Wicket That has never Fallen

Approach

I chase images that feel tactile, suspended, and emotionally loaded. I want the frame to breathe before it breaks.

About Me

I like being involved in every stage of the production process.

I like being involved in all aspects of the production, from camera, lighting, and sound on set to editing and color grading in post production. I have worked on various short films, full video production pipelines and educational content, and commercial photography and videography for product and event clients.
