Good to know

Questions producers ask

Who owns the advert?

You do, once the balance is paid. Talent usage terms are agreed in writing before the shoot.

Can you work to a broadcaster’s specs?

Yes. We deliver to broadcast loudness and the master format each station asks for.

How soon can social cut-downs be ready?

Usually 72 hours after you approve the main edit.
