Frequently Asked Questions

Video editing is the art of taking raw footage and crafting it into a seamless visual story. It's a delicate dance of timing, creativity, and technical skill. From professional films to homemade commercials, video editing can transform a simple video into a captivating masterpiece. 

Motion graphics are the dynamic cousins of traditional graphic design, where static images come to life through movement. They blend elements like text, shapes, and illustrations with animation techniques to convey information in a visually engaging way. Whether it's a logo animation, explainer video, or title sequence, motion graphics add a heightened level of professionalism to any project. 

Color grading is the cinematic equivalent of painting with light, where the mood and atmosphere of a video are sculpted through the manipulation of colors and tones. It's the final polish that transforms raw footage into a cohesive and visually striking work of art, enhancing the overall viewing experience and immersing audiences in the world of the story. 

A sundog, also known as a mock sun or parhelion, is an atmospheric phenomenon caused by the refraction of sunlight through ice crystals in the atmosphere. It appears as bright spots or patches of light on either side of the sun, often forming a halo-like effect.

Sundogs are most commonly seen when the sun is low on the horizon and can create stunning visual displays in the sky. 

Our Sundog Studios team has over 15 years of experience in the video and film production industry. Our team consists of experienced professionals who are dedicated to delivering high-quality video content.

No, we specialize exclusively in Post-Production services. However, we maintain partnerships with reputable Production companies whom we can recommend for comprehensive Production solutions. Should you choose to engage these partners, please note that billing will be handled separately by both the partner and Sundog Studios.

Production involves capturing the raw footage or content for a project, such as filming scenes or recording audio. Post-production, on the other hand, encompasses all the editing, sound design, visual effects, and other enhancements done to the raw footage to create the final product. It's where the footage is refined, polished, and transformed into its finished form.
