SteadyScenes is led by two founders who still cut, grade and animate every day. Behind them is a team that lets us take on volume and hold deadlines that a two-person shop couldn't. You get senior hands on your project either way.
SteadyScenes is led by two founders who are still hands-on in every project. There is no layer between you and the edit.
Editing, structure and sound
Co-Founder · Edit & Story Lead
I start every project in the transcript, not the timeline. If the structure is wrong, no amount of grading saves it. Most of my week is spent finding the version of a story that earns its runtime.
Motion graphics, colour and delivery
Co-Founder · Motion & Finishing Lead
I handle everything after the cut is locked: motion, grade, and getting files out the door on spec. I'd rather spend an extra hour on a transition than ship something that only works at full screen.
The four things we hold ourselves to on every single project, no matter the size of the budget.
Four commitments, every project
Every project starts from your footage, your brand and your audience, never a preset we reach for twice. The treatment is designed before a single cut is made.
First cut in 3-5 business days, revision rounds inside 48 hours, and rush turnaround when you need it. The schedule is set before we start and we hold it.
Clear scope, clear numbers, no surprise line items. Our process is tuned so the budget goes into the work on screen rather than into overhead.
Every deliverable is graded, mixed and QC'd against the same bar before it leaves the studio, whether it is a 60-second spot or a batch of thirty shorts.
Four stages, fixed checkpoints, and a named lead who stays on your project from brief to delivery.
01
A call with one of the founders, not an account manager. We agree the deliverable list, the schedule and the number in writing before anything starts.
02
You send footage however suits you. We come back with a treatment: structure, reference, music direction and the look we're aiming for.
03
First cut lands in 3-5 business days with timestamped comments open. Revision rounds turn around inside 48 hours.
04
Grade, mix, captions and every format on the deliverable list, plus project files if you want them. Archived for twelve months.
If your team already lives in a particular tool, we'll come to you. Project files handed over in the format you actually use.
Tell us what you're making and we'll come back within one business day with a scope, a schedule and a number.
