Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions regarding timelines, equipment, deliverables, and revision cycles.

How early should we start planning before a shoot or live broadcast?

For commercial films and documentaries, 2 to 4 weeks of pre-production ensures optimal scripting, casting, and location securing. For arena live broadcasts and keynotes, beginning at least 3 weeks prior allows thorough technical recce and fiber testing.

Do you work across different cities and internationally?

Yes. We frequently produce documentaries, live broadcasts, and commercial shoots across Turkey and internationally (including Belgium, UK, and European venues) with mobile production kits.

What technical formats do you deliver at project completion?

Deliverables typically include 4K master files in Apple ProRes 422 HQ / 4444, DCI-compliant cinema DCP packages, web-optimized H.264/H.265 files, and vertical cutdowns (9:16) for social media campaign reels.

How does the revision and client feedback cycle work?

We provide frame-accurate online review links with timecode comments. Standard projects include 2 comprehensive revision rounds (offline cut and color/audio polish) to guarantee your complete satisfaction.

Can you handle both live arena broadcasting and high-end commercial filmmaking?

Absolutely. Over 15 years of multifaceted production experience enables seamless translation between the high-pressure split-second pacing of live switcher direction and the meticulous optical control of cinema sets.
