Script writing
Slate and Mortar produce scripts for a huge range of creative products, from promotional films, corporate videos, sport’s documentaries, live-events, animations and even full podcast series.
We have in-house copywriters and scriptwriters as well as a network of talented specialist journalists to cover every subject. We understand how tricky it can be to create a script, so our writer will be with you from the very start; they’ll do preliminary research, conduct telephone interviews to dig deeper into the subject area and develop an outline that they’ll then use to develop a script tailored specifically to your target audience… meaning that your messages hit home every time.
So if you need a script that’s light on technical jargon, or just want a script that will inject a bit of humour into your explainer video, get in touch today.
Editing services
Telling a story that will capture your audience's attention is key to any successful video project, and at Slate and Mortar we understand how important it is to do this in a unique, engaging and contemporary manner.
The edit process is where the story takes shape; where the audience is hooked and where powerful messages can be shared.
And we think it’s also the most fun part of the production process! Slate and Mortar has Apple accredited in-house editors on staff who have vast experience of producing dynamic, engaging edits for TV, cinema and online commercials.
From talking head commercial videos, through to award-winning documentaries; Slate and Mortar’s editors can work independently or with you, on-site to cater to all your editorial needs. We’ve even been known to turn around fully realised edits within 24hours! We utilise the latest editing software and pride ourselves on keeping up-to-date with the latest developments in editing practise.
All our edits are professionally mastered with full colour-correction, colour grade and audio dubbing, and as part of our package, we always include up to six short social media edits suitable for publishing on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter or TikTok.
