THE CATCH
- Work comes in spurts. A full time hire is paid for 40 hours in a slow week and still falls behind in a launch week.
- One person, one skill set. Colour, audio and motion graphics often still go out to someone else.
- When they're away, editing stops. Vacation, sick days and appointments all pause your schedule.
- If they leave, you start over. Weeks of hiring, then they have to learn your brand.
THE SMARTER WAY
- Pay for editing, not idle hours. Every hour you buy from us is spent cutting your video.
- A full team. Editing, colour and audio, not one person stretched thin.
- Always covered. Someone who already knows your account steps in.
- Scale with the work. More hours for launches, fewer in quiet months. Gear and software are on us.

QUESTIONS
Can you work with our brand templates?
Yes. Send your guide, fonts, lower thirds and past videos. The more we have to work from, the closer the first cut lands.
Is there a contract?
Retainers start with a 6 month agreement so we can plan capacity around you.
Can you film for us too?
It depends on the shoot. Tell us what you need and we'll let you know if it's something we can take on.
