Filming Gives You Material. The Edit Makes It a Film.
Post-production decides what stays in, how fast it moves, how it looks and how it sounds. A clear edit, matched colour and clean audio are often the difference between footage that looks amateur and a film people watch to the end.
We finish the projects we film, and we also take on footage shot by your own team or another crew. You can book the full process or a single stage, such as subtitles or a colour grade.
Colour correction
Drag to Compare.
Log footage from the camera looks flat. Colour correction balances the shots so they match, then sets the look of the film. This is an illustration of the difference.
After
Before
How a project moves
From Rough Cut to Final File.
Backup
Footage is copied, checked and organised.
Rough cut
The story in the right order, without polish.
Your notes
You comment by private link, all in one round.
Fine cut
Timing is tightened and notes are applied.
Picture lock
You approve the edit and the order of shots is fixed.
Finishing
Colour, sound, graphics and subtitles go on.
Final check
You review the finished film once more.
Delivery
Files are exported for each platform.
Why picture lock matters: colour, sound and graphics are built on top of the approved edit, so changing the edit is simplest and cheapest before this point.

Questions
Common Questions About the Edit.
How many rounds of changes do we get?
The quote we send you states the number. Collecting comments from everyone involved into one set of notes makes each round go further.
Can you fix poor sound or shaky footage?
Often it can be improved a good deal, but not always rescued. Send us a sample and we will tell you honestly what is possible before you commit.
Can we book just one stage, such as subtitles?
Yes. Each stage can be booked on its own, for video you have already edited.
How do we send large files?
We will send you a secure upload link, or you can post a hard drive to our address.
Do we receive the project files?
You receive the final files. Raw footage and project files are included only if the quote we send you says so. See our terms.
