Clayfield's Portfolio
CLAYFIELD IS A TEAM
What does that mean?
When you hire me (Justus) as an editor, producer, writer, etc., you receive the benefits and resources of my company, an officially registered LLC in the state of Idaho. With these benefits, you'll have access to a talented team of creatives who consistently collaborate to produce high-quality work. Together, we are dedicated to creating the best product possible, regardless of the type of project presented. Thanks to my amazing team, Clayfield can now offer additional services, including music composition & creation, logo design, storyboarding, illustrative drawings, voice acting (male/female/gender neutral), prop making, miniature set building, and lyric writing.

frequently asked questions
What software do you use? ... We use Final Cut Pro X and Garageband along with additional plugins when needed.
How much do you charge? ... We charge based on the project. We take into account the amount of time worked, people involved, and resources required to execute our client's vision.

What happens if a client completely changes their vision halfway through, and how is that handled in your fee structure? ...

How many people are involved in creating my project? ... This depends on the project. For projects strictly involving one skill, such as editing or drawing, only one person will be involved. For projects that involve multiple skillsets, multiple people will be involved.

How do you ensure your edits align with our specific visual style and target audience? ...

How long does editing take? ... The time for a project varies depending on the length and type of edit being done. Talking head videos of less than an hour take about two hours to edit, whereas a five minute short film could take eight hours. Short form content of sixty seconds or less on average take an hour to an hour and a half. Each of these numbers is an estimate and could vary depending on various aspects of the individual project.
Do you provide sound design as part of the service? ... Yes, if the client requests, but this does impact pricing.
Who legally owns the final deliverables, and how do you handle the licensing of third-party music or stock footage? ...
