CUT, GRADED AND FINISHED BY US.
The best-shot footage in the world won't save a bad edit. And half-decent footage, cut well, often outperforms the polished version that's had no structure applied to it. Editing is where the story actually lands, or doesn't. We treat it as the creative job it is, not the "press export on the rushes" afterthought it sometimes gets treated as.
EVERY CUT IS A WELL THOUGHT OUT DECISION.
You can have the best script, the best kit, the best director on the day, and still end up with a film that doesn't land, because the edit wasn't right. Pacing too slow. A weak moment kept in because someone got attached to it. A great moment cut because it didn't match the storyboard.
Editing isn't just assembly. It's the last chance to decide what the film is actually about, and the first chance the audience gets to see it. Every cut is a choice about what the viewer notices, feels and remembers.
So we edit with intent. Watching the footage properly before we touch it. Finding the moments that earn their place. Cutting the ones that don't, even when they cost a day to shoot. Pacing a piece to breathe where it needs to, and move where it needs to.
Here's how a video edit usually comes together.
STORY
Finding what the piece is actually about.
Watching everything. Even the takes nobody flagged.
Identifying the hook. The moment that has to stay.
Building the arc. Beginning, middle, landing.
Cutting with intent. Ruthless about what doesn't serve it.
Timing and pacing. Earning every second.
CRAFT
Making it feel like a finished piece.
Rhythm and flow. Cuts that feel inevitable, not clever.
Sound design. Levels, mix, music that supports the story.
Colour grade. Consistent across shots, on-brand in tone.
Motion and titles. Designed, not dropped in.
Polish pass. The small fixes nobody sees but everyone feels.

We typically respond within two hours on working days.
QUESTIONS WE GET A LOT.
Yes. A lot of our edit work starts with client-shot footage — agency rushes, internal video, guerilla-style content from a recent event. We'll watch it properly, work out what's usable, and build the strongest piece we can from what's there.
Both, as standard. Grade, sound design, mix, titles and motion are all part of how we work — not separate line items you have to go somewhere else for. Same edit suite, same team, signed off together.
Depends on the scale. A 60-second social cut from labelled footage can be a couple of days. A 5-minute brand film with interviews, motion and a music bed takes longer. Fast-turnaround 48-hour edits (like our Sainsbury's work) are something we do regularly.
Built into every project. Most land at two rounds. If a cut genuinely keeps shifting because the brief's changed, we'll flag it early rather than quietly racking up hours.
Yes. Colour grade, title treatment, typography, sound — all of it can be locked to how your brand needs to feel on screen. We'll read the guidelines properly, then build an edit style that carries across future pieces too.
