How we work

Stills and film share one plan from the first recce to the last file.

Visit
We see the room, the work or the stage in person first.
A short call first, then a visit to the room or the street at the hour we would shoot, so nothing on the day is a surprise.
You get: a crew plan and a written estimate.
Plan
Shot list, light plan and timing, agreed in writing.
Shot list, call sheet, crew and kit go into one document. Must-have frames come first, extras come with a time next to them.
You get: a call sheet and a shot list.
Shoot
Stills and film from one light, in the mill or on location.
Stills are reviewed tethered on set, film is checked on a calibrated monitor, and nobody leaves until the key frames are agreed.
You get: a contact sheet the same evening.
Edit
Selects within two days, film rough cut within a week.
Grade, retouch, edit and sound happen in our own room, against the same reference stills, then versions are cut for each place they run.
You get: masters, versions and an archive.
Deliver
Colour-checked files for print, web, screens and archive.
Grade, retouch, edit and sound happen in our own room, against the same reference stills, then versions are cut for each place they run.
