Post-production, in writing

Occasional, practical writing about editing, color and retouching — the kind of notes we wish someone had handed us when we started.

Why good cinematic editing lingers a moment longer, and how to find those beats in the footage.

Saturation, contrast and the screen the client watches on — the finish that survives delivery.

Where clean-up goes wrong at 100% zoom, and how to check the edges before you finish.
