Due to the complexity of our post processing; WE DO NOT allow clients to sit in on the actual editing or sound sessions. However, once your scenes have been completed and you have reviewed them, you ARE REQUIRED to sit down with one of our editorial staff for your live 2 hour Demo Reel edit session.
- Can we re-shoot or re-edit if I’m unhappy with my content?
If you’re unhappy because you dislike your scene performance, or on camera appearance, unfortunately, there is not much we can do.
We do everything we can to ensure that you’re satisfied, from the approval of your scripts to the reviewing and discussion of your dailies, but if communication concerns have not addressed prior to production or post, we cannot do much to accommodate you once your scenes have been completed. We strongly urge all our clients to prepare as much as possible before the day of production or during your dailies review. If you have an issue after we’ve wrapped, please give us a call and we’ll do our best to find a solution.
