Integrated Post-Production Packages

(Most Comprehensive & Highest-Value Option)

For projects that benefit from a single creative hand across post-production, Gemini Film Studios offers combined editorial packages.

These packages create a more unified film by aligning editing, color, VFX, and sound under one vision.

Combined Services May Include:

  • Picture editing

  • Color grading

  • Visual effects (VFX)

  • Sound design & mix prep

  • Final exports and festival deliverables

Best for:

  • Short films

  • Experimental and art films

  • Documentary projects

  • Projects preparing for festivals or exhibitions

These packages are a higher investment but result in a significantly more cohesive, polished, and distinctive final work.

Experimental & Expanded Cinema Consulting

For filmmakers, artists, and institutions working outside conventional narrative formats.

  • Symbolic and non-linear editing systems

  • Experimental montage and pattern cinema

  • Expanded cinema & live AV performance development

  • Research-based film projects and installations
