Final polish for indie filmmakers, YouTube creators, and small studios.

Studio-quality polish, optimized for creators.

You bring the locked cut. I handle the color, graphics, and light VFX so the final piece feels intentional, cohesive, and ready to release.

See the difference finishing makes.

Color grading for real-world footage.

Matching shots, creating a unified look, and shaping mood so your project feels intentional and cohesive — not auto-corrected.

About 01_FINAL

I’ve spent more than 20 years in video production and post — shooting, editing, animating, and finishing work for major brands, broadcast content, and large organizations. Working at that level taught me how much the final 10% of polish matters — and how often smaller teams and independent creators don’t have access to it.

That realization led me to start 01_FINAL: a dedicated finishing service for creators and small studios who want their projects to feel intentional, cohesive, and release-ready without the overhead of a full post house. I handle the color, graphics, and cleanup needed to bring a solid project to its full potential.

When you’re ready, send your cut — I’ll take it from there.

Share your edit and I’ll send a clear finishing plan, timeline, and quote — no retainers, no agency overhead. Just the polish your project deserves.
