Treatment
The look, the tone and the references, written and shown before anything is made.

Every shot framed and agreed, so the film is decided on paper first.
Generation
Shots made to the boards, take by take, with the same people and product in every frame.
Edit
Cut for pace and story, then recut for each format.
Grade
One filmic finish across the whole film, with real contrast and fine grain.
Sound
Music, sound design and the final mix.
Finishing
Titles, credits and delivery to the client's specs.
