If something is the Bomb Diggity it is the best, cool, awesome. Just like us ;)
I (Peter) live in Australia and started the business here in Melbourne. I moved here from my home in the UK in 2016.
The editors on my team are based here as-well-as Canada, UK, US and Barcelona.
The team has grown from editors that I have worked with over the years, admired, and wanted to work with again.
Yeah man, that's what we do!
On your first projects we'll work from your brief, feedback and your past videos/images to emulate your style. Then as our relationship continues and your vision evolves we can use our editing prowess to help grow and adapt your style into your vision.
Absolutely. I would love to help, this is what makes me (and this business) tick!
Sit down (over a zoom call) with either myself or one of our senior editors and discuss what you want for your brands content. Then we'll go away and craft it for you.
A full wedding album will typically be turned around and delivered back to you within 10 days assuming you booked the edit in in advance.
It may take us a little longer if you don't order in advance and we have a current editing cue.
A highlight film can be turned around in a fast as 10-14 days assuming you have booked in advance. We like to spend a good amount of time on each edit regardless of our current order-we do not rush an edit. Because of this ethos, if you haven't booked your edit in and it is a busy time, we may have an editing cue and it could take a few extra weeks to receive your order back. For more on estimated time see
this section on the homepage.
Short answer; Yes!
You do not have to credit Bombdiggity Wedding Edits in the film or your post in any way.
Much like yours, our future business relies on showing our work on our website, occasionally on social media and marketing. Our editing fee includes a discount for allowing us to use your content for this purpose.
As a rule we never display your business name unless you give us permission. We just show off our abilities with a clip or an image and use the best ones in our our showreels.
If we ever use something of yours in a way you like we are more than happy to share and provide you with that edit for free- most of our partners love this and take advantage to get some bonus social media content once and a while :)
Our business isn't directed at couples or your client base, just other wedding photographers and videographers.
So only photogs and videographers will see our content and the owner of that content anonymous. No worries, aye!
When you order an edit you can select to opt out of this and remove your permission to show any of the content at all and give up the discount (15%).
We'll do what we can but probably not. We will of course always do what we can to salvage/polish up any footage of yours we receive and want to use in the edit. But we are limited by the footage you give us and the quality of a finished film depends largely on the quality of the footage you provide.
If we have concerns we will be upfront and speak to you at the start of any project.
We primarily use Adobe Lightroom to edit photos and Adobe Premier Pro to edit video.
We also frequently use additional plug-in's to help raise the quality of your edits.
On the first project we'll prompt you to provide any presets, LUT's plugins, logo's, ect that you use for your brand and well then keep them on file to use again on your future projects.
It really is.
We use dropbox where we will set up a shared folder for you to upload all your content to.
For photos you don't need to upload all the raw files, We work from Smart Previews inside Adobe Lightroom, meaning upload times are super fast and we can turn your project around quicker. We will guide you through smart previews when you order, or you can see more about how to use Smart Previews
here.
For Video, you can upload all your video and audio files to the shared folder and we'll take care of the rest.
You get brownie points (and probably a quicker edit) if you provide proxy files. But it isn't necessary.
And thats it. We take it from there.
We will edit your Lightroom Album or Film and when it is done send you a link for review. You can provide feedback if you wish for up to 2 rounds of revisions. Then when you're super satisfied and ready to sign the order off as completed you simply let us know and well upload you're the full files and master project files for you to download and keep safe.
We sure as heck do! Colour and Audio really give a film the icing it needs to be amazing.
As a standard we will mix any audio you provide to create a narrative along with music to create an engaging edit. Minimal noise removal treatment is also provided. Extreme noise removal, audio recovery and mastering will require an additional fee as it is time consuming and requires a senior editor. In our experience though, this is rarely needed.
On order you can choose to have your footage colour corrected, colour graded or none.
Learn what the difference between colour correction and colour grading is
Our client is you, not your couple. We of course want your clients to be stoked with what they receive, that's why we offer the 2 rounds of revisions as standard. We will work with you to make sure you are beyond happy with the content you are receiving back from us.
Once you've signed off on a project as complete and the master files have been given back to you we don't offer any more revisions or refunds.
Projects can be reopened for further editing at a further cost, on a project by project basis.
Bombdiggity Wedding Edit's aim is to help you run your your business and serve your couples by providing a seamless, easy to use personal editing service. Having to calculate the cost for each individual edit is not a hassle we want you to have and so we offer Locked-Off pricing for our partner studios.
After a handful of edits with us, a studio can apply for locked-off pricing. We will evaluate your previous edits, the time and complexity involved and offer you a flat-rate for any future edits your order. This allows you to book in your clients already knowing what your post-production will cost. It also helps you book in your edits with us well in advance staying ahead of the editing cue and keeping that turnaround time tight!
Submitting your details doesn't automatically mean we're partners. Before we get attached we review each application to see if there is the spark of a potential partnership.
We really want to be the best option for our partners so that means just cant serve everyone.
We don't want a quick fling, we want the real deal baby!
