the cut

An edit is a hundred decisions nobody is meant to notice. Where to hold, where to leave early, what to cut against — until a sequence stops feeling assembled and starts carrying its own weight.

Frame — 01/05
01/03
48

Hours of rushes reduced to the two minutes that matter.

Footage arrives as hours of raw material with no shape to it. The cut is where a film decides what it is: what to hold, what to lose, how long a moment is allowed to breathe.

You never notice the edit, only that you couldn’t look away.

What to know before you send your footage.

I do — Mayank Mishra. One editor from the first cut to the final export: no account managers and no handoffs, so the person who reads your brief is the person who cuts your film.

It depends on the work. A talking-head video comes back as a first cut within 48 hours, a short-form clip within 24 and a commercial's first cut within 72. Documentaries and other long projects get their dates agreed before work starts.

Share a link — Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer and Frame.io all work. Send everything you shot, not a selection: the moment that makes the edit is often the one that nearly got left out.

Changes are part of the edit, not an extra. You leave time-stamped notes on the cut and I work through them; how many rounds a project includes is agreed with the quote, before anything starts.

Per project, from the brief: how much footage there is, how long the finished piece runs and when it is due. You get a quote before any work starts. Send a brief

The finished film, exported for wherever it will play — YouTube, Instagram, a client's site or the screen at the reception — with captions and any cutdowns the brief asked for.

Put the date in your brief. If it can be done properly in that time, I plan backwards from it; if it cannot, you hear that up front, not the day before it is due.
