We pride ourselves on partnering with our clients to do our part to create consistently outstanding film and video productions… together. Programs that motivate, entertain and drive viewers to action, whatever the project content, complexity or budget.
Of course, everyone says this. Each claims to be the best post company around. In reality we are far from being the same. Skill, experience, raw creative talent, the critical ability to listen and understand, equipment capabilities, and simple passion about the story varies as enormously as the final budgets and client satisfaction.
For Chris it is purely about making the project exceptional and the satisfaction of doing an outstanding job.
We view the business side of film and video post-production a little uniquely and we do things a little differently from the other guys – in a good way. We choose to operate at the highest end of the editing, color grading and finishing production spectrum in terms of quality and creativity but to remain affordable enough for the smallest startup or arts budget… putting profit a very distant second to making great films and videos that are outstandingly successful.
But, of course, at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what anyone says about their work, it’s the final program that has to actually walk the walk – and how the client feels after it has been shown that talks the talk.
It’s only what is actually seen and heard on the screen that tells the story.
These are a few of the film and video projects that CLAi have created or have worked on…
(and there are many more in EXCELLENCE/Portfolio)
And this is our color grading show reel – with a teeny bit of editing…
Last, but definitely not least, these are one or four testimonials
(there are more film and video opinions in CREATIVITY/About Us)
Being prepared to put every project and it’s success ahead of earnings and egos. Doing whatever it takes to make it work. Sitting in front of an edit or colorist system at 4am to get everything just so – one more time – without ever missing a deadline or going over an agreed budget. It’s not a job, it’s a life well lived.
