POST-PRODUCTION
Post-Production
This is where raw footage becomes a finished film. Editing, colour grading, sound design, motion graphics, and visual effects. Every second of your video is shaped, refined, and polished until it hits exactly the way it should.
Where the Story Takes Shape
Great footage on its own is just raw material. Post-production is the craft of turning that material into something that moves people. It is where pacing, rhythm, colour, and sound come together to create an emotional experience that serves your brand.
I work in a dedicated suite with calibrated monitors, proper acoustic treatment, and the processing power to handle high-resolution, multi-layer timelines without compromise. The technical setup matters because it ensures what I see during editing is exactly what your audience will see on delivery.
Editing & Storytelling
The edit is not about assembling clips in order. It is about finding the rhythm that keeps your audience watching. I cut for emotion first, information second. Every transition, every held frame, every jump cut is a deliberate choice that serves the story.
I work through a structured feedback process. You receive a rough cut for structural approval, then a fine cut with music and pacing locked, then a final version with colour and sound design complete. At each stage, your feedback is specific, actionable, and documented.
Colour, Sound & VFX
Colour grading sets the mood of your entire film. I grade on calibrated reference monitors to ensure consistency across devices, from phone screens to projection. Whether the brief calls for a warm, desaturated documentary look or a clean, high-contrast commercial feel, the grade is what makes it land.
Sound design is the most underrated element of video production. A well-designed soundscape, from ambient layers to foley details to music placement, can transform the emotional impact of a scene without the viewer consciously noticing. I treat sound with the same care as the visuals. When VFX or motion graphics are needed, I handle those as well, from clean-up work and compositing to animated titles and data visualisations.
My Process
Assembly
I organise and log all footage, select the best takes, and build a first assembly that establishes the overall structure and story arc. This is the skeleton of the film.
Refinement
The rough cut is tightened into a fine cut. Pacing is adjusted, transitions are refined, and placeholder music is replaced with licensed or original tracks. You review this version and provide consolidated feedback.
Colour & Sound
The locked edit moves into colour grading and sound design simultaneously. I apply the final grade, design the soundscape, mix audio levels, and integrate any VFX or motion graphics elements.
Delivery
I export the final film in every format and resolution you need: social media crops, broadcast specs, web-optimised files, and archival masters. Everything is delivered via a secure link with clear file naming.
Who This Service Is For
Brands that have existing footage, whether shot by me or another team, and need professional editing, grading, and finishing. Production companies or agencies that need a post-production partner they can rely on for consistent quality and reasonable turnaround times.
I also offer standalone colour grading and sound design for projects that have already been edited elsewhere. If your footage looks flat or your audio mix sounds thin, I can fix that without starting from scratch.
