FAQ
Do I need to provide a screenplay or script with my footage?
Absolutely. Providing your screenplay or even a basic script outline is highly recommended. It helps me understand the structure, themes, and emotional beats you're aiming for, allowing me to craft a more cohesive and impactful edit that stays true to your vision.
Can you help improve the story flow if something feels off?
Definitely, I approach editing like a storyteller, not just a technician. If there are narrative gaps, pacing issues, or scenes that aren’t working, I’ll suggest solutions — whether it’s restructuring scenes, trimming dialogue, or enhancing emotional impact with sound and visuals.
What if I want revisions after the first edit?
All packages include at least one round of revisions. I value collaboration and want you to be completely happy with the final product. If you have specific notes or changes, I’ll work closely with you to make sure the edit aligns with your creative vision.
