Community
Think of us like the newest member of your inner circle. Invested in creating and moving forward together.
Versatile
Your style is our specialty. We constantly adapt so your audience will never even know we were there.
Collaboration
We believe in a two way street, bouncing ideas back and forth in order to find the best way to tell the story.
Experience
We’ve seen it all when it comes to editing, so there is no challenge we’re afraid to face.
Quality
Every project is supervised by an experienced editor to ensure that it lives up to our standard and yours.
Innovation
We are forever students of the craft, always looking for better, more engaging ways to tell your story.
our tools of the trade
We have established workflows in Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro. Each editor follows strict internal guidelines so no matter the editor, the NLE, or project, you can rest assured we’re on top of it.
Examples
Commercial
If you’re ready to bring yourself to the world, let’s do it! We know a lot of work goes into scripting and producing a great commercial. Let us add some extra polish in post-production to make sure all your hard work really shines.
Destination
Let us take you on a trip! All of us at Archaius have gotten lost in that video of the beach with crystal clear water. Maybe we’ve even been a little too excited when we see the hustle and bustle of New York. Buckle up, and let us be your captain on a trip wherever you want to go.
Corporate
As a business, we understand that nothing is more important than the employees that work with you. We can partner together to craft amazing internal videos that help train current employees, explain important company policies, or even attract new talent to join your already amazing team.
Promo
A promo video is a great way to highlight products, companies, or anything really. These types of videos have endless possibilities with technical execution, narrative construction, and visual tricks depending on the run time. These videos can fulfill a wide range of needs, only limited by your imagination.

Sizzle
Sometimes words can be too much and weigh a video down. If you’ve got a great song, sometimes that’s all the emotion you need to get your point across. Let’s show rather than tell and make sure all eyes are focused on you.
Social
Social content is arguably the most heavily viewed form of media. We have experience in crafting YouTube content, cutting down existing videos for use across all social platforms, and are always up for a good throwback boomerang. Too soon for a comeback?
Testimonial
When marketing your brand or product, nothing is more powerful than a testimonial. Being able to have someone talk about how important you are to them brings a deeper level of connection with your audience. We love taking unscripted content and finding those jewels that explain how amazing you really are.
Explainer
When you want to help someone learn, you need to not only grab but also keep their attention. We ensure a seamlessly edited video to make sure your knowledge is getting across accurately in a compelling way to keep your audience engaged.
Event
Maybe you want to add a little extra flair to your guest speaker’s presentation, or maybe you just want to make everyone jealous with what happened at your event last weekend. We can help with recaps, creating digital presentation assets, or even on-site editing.
Process
Ingesting
This process serves as the base for all of our projects. Systematically sorting footage in the NLE of your choosing allows us to not only work smart and efficiently, but also ensures that at the end of the project everything is easily navigated for you or your client.
As we sort footage there is no stone left unturned. Scouring through every piece of media, we’re trained to look for the diamonds in the rough, the clip that may be the unsung hero of the video. We make sure any details are found that would push your video to the next level.

editing
Every great video starts with a compelling story. We focus on identifying the strongest narrative threads and how we can sew them together into a powerful and effective piece. We love crafting those hidden details that you may not notice, but affect you as the viewer. We use different programs and techniques to open up the possibilities of each project — not only to think outside the box, but elevate above it entirely.
In this process you can be as hands-on or hands-off as you’d like. Want to pick the songs yourself? No problem. Want to let us take the reins? We’ve got you. We always enjoy collaboration and making this the most fulfilling experience for you and our editors.

internal review
Each project is assigned to an experienced editor to oversee the creative process. They will be your eyes on the ground throughout the entire project. This ensures that the communication between you and every team member is knowledgeable and that someone on our team is in your corner every step of the way.
As each cut is finished internally, your supervising editor will review drafts until it’s ready for you. Our supervisors scrutinize everything from pacing, to shot selection, to minor cut points. Being in contact with you, the supervising editor will not only judge by our standards, but also based on your direction, notes, and expectations for the video

feedback
We know the old cliche is that your feedback is very important, but we really do think it’s important! We view our relationship as a partnership, and we want that partnership to flourish. We’ll never shy away from making the film exactly what you want it to be. Even if the project’s scope limits our revision round potential, we still want to know any notes you have so we can make the next video even better.
For feedback we are proud to utilize the Frame.io platform for sending drafts to elevate the draft experience. Then based on the comments left on the Frame.io platform, discussion threads with your supervising editor, or video touchpoint calls, we’ll work to perfect the next cut so you’re excited to send it to your client.

Once all the video edits have been made, we’ll be ready to move on to the next step in the process. If the project includes color grading, audio mixing, and/or motion graphics, we’ll pass the baton to the next talented member of our team. If this is the last step, we’ll send the final video and all working files for a fully comprehensive deliverable.
Working in the NLE of your choosing allows for a greater level of collaboration between all parties involved. You can rest assured knowing that if the need arises, you can confidently open the project file and make any adjustments easily, and in a way that is familiar to you. If you want us to handle anything further down the line, we’re happy to get back under the hood and help knock out any added revisions, versions, or cutdowns that your client's request.
