Emberhouse / Post-production & color
Find the story.
Finish with intention.
Editing, color grading, sound, and finishing that bring the footage into a coherent film, with delivery planned around its final use.
Purpose before production
The footage is
the starting point.
The edit decides what the audience sees, hears, and understands. We work through the structure, pacing, and details of a film, then bring picture and sound together for the intended delivery. The starting point might be an Emberhouse production or existing materials we review with you.
Editing & story
Shape interviews, scenes, and supporting footage into a film with a clear point of view and progression.
Color grading
Build a consistent visual treatment while considering the footage, brand, subject, and intended display.
Sound & finishing
Bring the agreed dialogue treatment, music, graphics, and final picture together.
Versions & delivery
Prepare the defined edits, captions, and export specifications for the film’s intended destinations.
An approach with intention
Structure first.
Then the finish.
A strong grade cannot replace a clear story. We establish the edit’s direction and work through the agreed reviews before final finishing. This creates a practical point for confirming timing, graphics, audio, and output requirements.

Defined around your project
The right scope.
The right handoff.

- Approved graphics and captions, as scoped
- Specified delivery files and agreed alternate versions
Before we begin
Good questions.
Clear answers.
Can you edit footage filmed by someone else?
We can review the available media and brief. File quality, coverage, audio, project compatibility, and permissions affect the scope and the approach.
Can you provide color grading without a full edit?
We can discuss a focused grading and finishing scope. Share the current edit, original media details, project format, references, and intended delivery requirements.
How many revisions are included?
Review stages and revision allowances are defined in the proposal. Consolidating feedback helps keep changes clear; extra versions or significant direction changes may affect the scope.
Do we receive the project files?
Delivery of editable projects, source media, and working assets is separate from delivery of the finished film. Confirm your needs during scoping so the agreement can address transfers and third-party licensing.
Working with businesses in Houston, Lafayette, and Acadiana. Location, travel, and production requirements are scoped around your project.
