FAQs

How do you guarantee on-time project delivery and meet tight deadlines?

I guarantee on-time delivery by implementing a disciplined workflow with clear milestones. Final delivery times are confirmed upfront in the project plan, ensuring we meet every deadline with zero stress.

What workflow do you use to manage feedback and minimize revision friction?

All feedback is managed via Frame.io and follows a structured review process. This provides a transparent, documented, and uninterrupted communication loop, which significantly speeds up the revision cycle.

Can you provide a custom budget or package for ongoing contract work?

Yes! I prioritize establishing long-term, trusted collaboration with producers, directors, and creatives. I offer custom rates and project packages for sustained contract work to ensure that things remain equitable and consistent for both parties.

What tools and color-accurate standards do you use for final mastering?

Final mastering is executed exclusively in DaVinci Resolve Studio on a certified, color-calibrated reference display. I use custom DCTLs and advanced color management plugins to assure perfect color accuracy and consistency across all deliverables, guaranteeing your vision translates flawlessly to 4K, 6K, vertical, and all final mastering standards.

How do you handle complex source footage and mixed-codec project files?

My process begins with building optimized proxy files and a rigorous naming convention to handle RAW, log, and mixed-codec source footage. This ensures the project remains fast, stable, and organized from ingestion to final delivery.

Do you guarantee technical specs for broadcast, streaming, and festival delivery?

While I do not handle third-party broadcast QC, I guarantee that the final deliverable files will meet all required technical specifications. I handle the technical conform and mastering to ensure color space, file wrappers, and audio standards are correct for any platform, providing a flawless final delivery ready for the next stage of distribution.

What is your process for initial creative alignment before the first cut?

On every project I’m a part of, I act as a strategic partner - not just an editor and colorist. I lead with creative alignment, ensuring we define the aesthetic intent, pacing, and visual strategy before post-production begins to ensure efficiency and protect your core narrative.

How do you translate a creative brief into a definitive cinematic look?

The process of finding the look is a strategic partnership. I translate your brief by diving deep into visual references and other media. I then create custom, narrative-driven color palettes and show LUT to establish a specific, definitive look that elevates the story, rather than relying on generic presets.

Can your workflow integrate sound design and complex VFX turnovers?

Yes. I frequently integrate sound design (editing and mixing) into my workflow. For VFX, I can handle the technical workflow for managing shots and integrating simple visual effects like titles, graphics, and stabilization, ensuring all elements are cohesively color graded for the final master. I am not a VFX artist, but I guarantee a seamless turnover.
