PLEASE ALSO NOTE THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The Edit-Photography and Video Service
Our Services include an “Editor’s Cut” edit, unless otherwise excluded in this Estimate.
Where photography services only are provided, the editing process will consist of a
basic clean up. This includes contrast and levels adjustments and colour correction
only. It does not include more complex retouching of photographs, which is available
at additional cost. The current daily edit or retouching rates are available on request.
The editor will use his or her discretion for creative and music placement decisions
where required. If a personal choice of music is requested, you should give us your
choice of music for use in the edited video prior to the filming of the Event, or as soon
as possible afterwards. Editing of the Event will not commence until that list is
received.
Re-edits
You will receive a link to the first edit via e-mail, and any requests for changes
must be made within fourteen (14) days. Thereafter, unless already agreed, the
edit will be deemed accepted by you and DVDs and Blu-ray Discs will be prepared
as agreed. Delivery will be by either by First Class Recorded Delivery via Royal
Mail or via FedEx.
Any additional requested changes to your video or photographs will be charged at the
then prevailing daily edit rate.
Delivery of Product
The editing process can take between one to three weeks for photography and six to
nine weeks for video. The duration is dependent upon the time of year, and how
many cameras were used during the Event.
Feedback and Issues
Any editorial feedback or issues must be received in writing not more than 14 days
after receipt of the final video, photographs or product. If no feedback has been
received after 14 days, the edited video, photographs or product will be deemed as
“Approved”. Where there is a technical issue, there is no limit on the time to respond.
