About this service

Summary

I have been editing documentaries and doc style branded content for over 8 years, tailoring compelling stories for social media, TV, and streaming platforms.
Please provide a written treatment of the project and an overview of the footage (number of shooting days, footage hours, number of scenes etc). With the information I can better assist you with working out a workflow and timeline.

Process

Three Cuts: 3 versions of edits, presented via drive/link/frame.io, watermarked.
- 1st Cut: editor's cut based on our preliminarily aligned vision.
- 2nd Cut: revision based on your feedback.
- Final Cut: Minor tweaks are applied based on your second round of feedback. This is final and intended for approval.
