Frequently Asked Question :

Who picks the music and film titles for the movies that are released?

Music and songs selection are a joint decision of the Director, Client and the Edit team. A client co-ordinator from the studio shall be co-ordinating this. Usually the creative visualiser of the project takes care of all these details. The film titles are usually suggested either by the client or the film director and approved by both.

Do we get to see the Highlight Film before the final delivery?

Once the Highlight film is ready, we send couple the first cut as we want them to see and approve of it first. If they disapprove of any clip / footage during the first screening, we can make the edit changes and corrections (in the one round of permissible edit changes) and present the final film for the friends and family to see and enjoy. Nothing is delivered / released without the approval of the couple. If we do not receive any changes within Twenty (20) days, we will assume that you approve of the film and no changes are required. We will then close your project and deliver the high resolution final rendered version of the film. Any changes after that period shall be charged extra.

What is the one round of permissible change allowed once we see the film? Is it one change per delivery (FF, HL, TR etc.)?

No changes are permitted in the Full films (FF) unless there is a grave edit error. One round of changes in the Highlight film and Trailer means that once the couple sees the film for the first time, they can add / delete some clips as per their liking. Some close relatives whose footage is unintentionally missed by the editors can be added in this round. Any other minor changes can also be corrected. But please note that major changes may not be possible / charged extra. After that it is paid Rs. 2500 per cycle
