The Truth About Editorial Revisions in Video Production

Those who have worked in customer service understand the importance of making sure the customer is satisfied. Have you ever ordered a hot meal at a restaurant and the food came out cold? If you are like most patrons, you would probably send it back. With anything you pay for, you want to make sure it is right. So what makes video production any different?

Actually there is a lot. In production, we feel customer service really starts with post-production. If you ever have the opportunity to sit in with an editor, you will soon realize that editing is a very tedious and time consuming process.

To the unfamiliar, one would never fathom how long post-production can really take. In advertising, even the slightest revision can run a client into the thousands. One might say, "with technology why should revisions be so expensive? Small edits can be done with the click of a mouse." That statement is almost true. However, the average person does not know that hours can follow small edits due to the supplemental processes such as time for rendering effects, exporting, compressing and transferring files all over again.

When working with ERS, clients receive two complimentary rounds of revisions. Each client receives a unique login so that files may be accessed as soon as content is ready for viewing. This saves time and makes the approval process convenient and fast. 
If you have questions about having a video produced or post production services please email info@exclusiveremediesstudio.com. We will be more than happy to have a producer speak with you regarding a project you have in mind.

The Lay Over in San Juan

In route to our final destination to Grenada the Exclusive Remedies Studio production crew stopped to take in the sites of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. With an eight hour lay over, you had many options of things to get into. On a previous trip with my family, I had the opportunity to visit El Yunque, the only rainforest in the United States National Forest System. However, this time I suggested seeing Old San Juan. However, if you're not comfortable leaving the airport and taking the possible risk of missing your flight, there is a Casino at the airport.

We took a ten minute taxi drive into Old San Juan and started on our quest for food. We quickly spotted a Starbucks and used that as our reference point to find our whereabouts in the area. 



After roaming the streets, reading menus, and considering all of the recommendations we heard from the locals, a nice lady stepped out from one restaurant and showed us their lunch menu. We were quick to notice the music and how nicely the restaurant was decorated. Before we knew it, we were seated and having a bite to eat at the Parrot Club.

So what should you eat? Ask anyone that loves Puerto Rican food and they will say, "if you go to Puerto Rico you must east mofongo." So of course, I had the monfongo with chicken; and for dessert, Andre insisted we try his tres leches cake. It was delightful.

We really appreciated the free trollies that ran every  fifteen minutes  making it quite easy to get around and see almost anything in a short time frame.  We stopped to view the Castillo de San Cristobal which can be seen in the picture below.

Hours later, we made our way back to the airport to check-in for our final flight. Needless to say, if you have a lay over in Puerto Rico,  you can find many things to do. We used this article to help us with ideas before we arrived.  Visit our blog frequently to learn about what's new with Exclusive Remedies Studio.
