Call was at four. So was the tide.

Working conditions

We have edited from stranger places than this.

A studio, a café, a moving train, and once genuinely ankle deep in water. Your deadline never noticed.

yes, that is a real desk

Then this happened

The brief said just a small edit.

It turned up as four hundred gigabytes of unnamed clips shot on three different cameras. We renamed every one of them and said nothing.

400 GB. we counted.

And still

It went out on time.

That is the entire pitch. The setup keeps changing. What lands in your inbox does not.

+1000 aura, obviously
