Jason Henry, Chief Lumberjack

First time? I'll do it with you.

Call me and we'll go through it together. What you've got, what it should be, what it'll cost. 5 minutes and you'll know exactly where you stand before you spend a cent. Most people only need that once. After that they just upload and go.

You won't end up on a list getting calls for the next three years. I'm a lumberjack, not a real estate agent.

FAQ

Common questions

Lumberjack is the edit room behind Welcome to the Fold and has been for twenty years. Boeing, Suncorp, the Queensland Government and a lot of organisations in between. Same editors, same standard. We've just opened the door so you can book us direct.
Mostly corporate and government teams who have shot their own footage and need a specialist editor to finish the job properly. Comms managers, EAs, L&D coordinators, events teams, marketing departments. If you've got footage sitting on a hard drive and a brand guide to match, you're exactly who we built this for.
First cut in three days. Two rounds of revisions are included, so most jobs are finished inside the week. Need it faster? Next-day is 25% on top of the service price. Send it before 5pm AEST and the first cut is in your inbox tomorrow. It's always available. There are no blackout days and you don't need to check first. Tick it when you order, or just call me.
Yes. About half the footage we get is shot on a phone. They shoot better video than the broadcast cameras we started on. Vertical, horizontal, whatever your comms officer managed on the day. Send it as it is. We'll tell you straight if something genuinely can't be saved, but that almost never happens and it has nothing to do with what it was shot on.

It's not getting any fresher.

Send it over and you'll have a first cut in three days.
