Summary

With over 10 years of experience, I bring a detail-oriented and creative approach to every project, ensuring each story truly connects with its audience. My dedication to both technical quality and narrative depth sets my work apart, delivering documentaries that are both engaging and impactful.

Process

Get in Touch – Share your story, vision, and narrative needs. Let me know the approach you’re aiming for and any specific requirements.
Creative Discussion – We’ll go over the best editing style, pacing, and structure to ensure your documentary aligns with your goals.
Editing in Progress – I’ll bring your story to life with thoughtful editing, keeping you updated throughout the process.
Revision & Feedback – You’ll review the first cut and provide feedback. One revision is included to refine the final piece.
Final Delivery – After implementing your notes, I’ll provide the polished, high-quality documentary ready for your chosen platform.

FAQs

  • How can I share my vision?

    The clearer, the better. You can send a video explanation, a mood board, reference clips, or any material that helps communicate your creative intent.

  • How long will the edit take?

    Each project has its own pace and challenges. While I strive to meet your timeline, a rough guideline is half month of editing per 5 minutes of documentary.

  • Does this include music?

    This does not include music composition. It’s strongly recommended to have your music ready before we start the editing process.

  • How many revisions do I get?

    One revision is included in the package to refine and adjust the final product based on your feedback. Additional revisions may be available for an extra cost.

  • Does this include color correction?

    Basic color adjustments for consistency are included, but full color correction and grading are not. If you’d like professional color work, we can discuss it upfront and include it in the project scope.

  • What formats will I receive?

    Your final documentary will be delivered in the format best suited for your platform (MP4, MOV, etc.), and I can provide multiple resolutions if needed.
