After the shoot we select the best material and provide it for your revision in form of rough compositions in case of still images or as a first draft edit of a film. We meet in an offline session to discuss and tweak this edit together with you, until we end up with a version that you are happy to approve. This offline edit is still a rough diamond that will be polished in post-production. 

Post-Production

All of our post-production services aim to enhance the impact of your message. We elevate the quality of the captured footage and fuse it with digitally crafted elements to create one-captivating result.
