How we work
No surprises at the end
- 01
Brief & scope
We read the brief and ask the awkward questions early. You get back a shot count, a crew, and a date we actually believe.
- 02
Look development
Style frames and a short test before full production starts. The look gets signed off while changing it is still cheap.
- 03
Production
Weekly playblasts and a shared review link. You see the work while it's still wet.
- 04
Finishing & delivery
Comp, grade, sound sync and delivery in every format you need, with project files handed over on request.
