Every project runs the same graph.
Five nodes from first conversation to final master. You see the work at every stage, and nothing moves forward until the previous node is signed off.
Every project runs the same graph.
The scale changes. The standard does not. Five nodes, start to delivery.
- READ
Brief
We define the shot list, the look, and what success actually means before a single frame is touched.
READ_OUT - PLATE
Ingest
Footage is conformed, graded to a working space and prepped. Tracking data is solved up front.
PLATE_OUT - MERGE
Build
Compositing, CGI and animation are developed in parallel, reviewed against the plate continuously.
MERGE_OUT - GRADE
Finish
Colour, grain match and final integration. This is where the work becomes invisible.
GRADE_OUT - WRITE
Deliver
Masters rendered to your spec, in every format you need, with project files archived.
WRITE_OUT
The things people ask first.
- How long does a typical project take?
- A single shot can turn around in 48 hours. A full music video is usually one to three weeks depending on shot count. Feature sequences are quoted per scope. Rush work is possible — say so up front and it will be priced accordingly.
- How many revisions are included?
- Two full rounds are included in every quote, with notes consolidated into a single pass each time. Beyond that, additional rounds are billed hourly. In practice most projects land inside the first round because the brief stage is taken seriously.
- What do you need from me to start?
- Source footage at the highest quality you have, any reference for the look you want, and a shot list if one exists. If it does not, we build one together during the brief.
- What formats do you deliver?
- Anything you need — ProRes, DNxHR, H.264/265, image sequences in EXR or DPX. Colour space and delivery spec are agreed at the brief stage so there are no surprises at the end.
- Do you work under NDA?
- Yes, routinely. Send your agreement and it will be signed before any material changes hands. Projects under NDA are excluded from the public portfolio unless you clear them.
