We specialize in editing, motion graphics and color grading for short form video.  Editorial, ad campaigns, product stories, and social media content. 

You purchase a block of hours (10, 20, or 50 hours) to use as needed across projects. Hours are valid for 12 months, offering flexibility for both immediate and future needs.

Absolutely! We provide regular updates and track your bucket hours so you always know the status of your project and the remaining time available.

No problem! You can easily top up with additional hours by purchasing another bucket. This ensures your project keeps moving forward seamlessly.

Yes, revisions count toward your bucket hours. This keeps the process straightforward and ensures you stay within your budget.

Turnaround depends on the project scope, but we provide updates within one business day of receiving a request. Our workflow is designed to prioritize efficiency without compromising quality.

Unused hours expire after 12 months to keep projects on track. We’ll remind you as your bucket approaches expiration so you can maximize your investment.

We start every project with a detailed consultation to understand your brand's identity and goals. We also use reference palettes and visuals to align our work with your vision.

We can accommodate rush projects depending on availability. Rush work may require a higher hourly rate or the purchase of an additional bucket.

During the consultation, we discuss your project’s scope, goals, and aesthetic preferences. We’ll also guide you through our bucket pricing and workflow to ensure we’re the right fit for your needs.
