A story finds its rhythm in the edit.
From the first shot to the last cut, we plan the image, sound and duration for the format in which the piece will be watched.
The editing room.
Choose a study from our collection and play it. Compare the length of a shot with the way a loop returns to its first frame.
A twelve-second cut follows the southern lights as seen from the Space Station. We selected this sequence to study rhythm and shot duration.
Archive footage: Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit, NASA Johnson Space Center. Selection and edit for this study: HLV Digital.
How we work
Plan the sequence
We define the purpose, running time, shots and image and sound sources before production.
Edit and review
We assemble shots, transitions and sound in a review cut with time-coded notes.
Prepare the files
We finish colour, audio, captions and framing for the channels agreed in the brief.
What the delivery can include
- Script or shot list

- Final exports in the agreed formats
