FAQ

Common questions

  • Short-form clips: 2–4 days. A YouTube long-form: 4–7 days. A commercial or branded film: 1–3 weeks depending on scope. Rush is available for short-form (24h) and is billed at a 35–50% rush fee. Dates are agreed before we start.

  • Most engagements include two revision rounds (three for commercial work). Notes are collected in one pass per round via Frame.io with timecoded comments, which keeps things fast and unambiguous. Additional rounds are billed hourly at the project’s rate.

  • Most work is priced per project from a clear scope (short-form from $220/clip, long-form from $650, commercials from $2,400). Documentary, color, and open-ended work can be a day rate or hourly ($95–$120/hr). You always get a fixed quote in writing before any work begins.

  • Whatever the platform needs: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, and custom; H.264/H.265 for web, ProRes for masters, alpha ProRes 4444 for motion assets, burned-in or SRT captions, and HDR or Rec.709 masters. Tell me the spec and I’ll deliver to it.
