Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Manic Sky’s mission and core values?
At Manic Sky, we hold a steadfast mission to serve storytellers — video production and media companies — especially those rooted in faith and nonprofit-driven work, with post-production that honors your vision and believe we make every piece for a real and passionate audience.
We carry your story gently and without ego, delivering swift, precise craft born from respect, integrity, and a deep sense of responsibility to the meaning entrusted to us—with creativity and integrity that hits the mark every time.
2. What post-production services does Manic Sky offer?
We offer tailored post-production services for small to medium production companies, skillfully editing, coloring, and sound design, cutting in Premiere Pro of Davinci Resolve, leaving it to our Visionary Partners (clients) preference. And keeping a mindful eye on cinematic quality that fits your budget and meets the demands of streaming, projection, broadcast, or digital platforms.
3. Does Manic Sky have experience working with mission-driven or faith-based clients?
Yes—The majority of our work supports faith-based and nonprofit clients, where we cherish the weight and nuance of each story, collaborating with our Visionary Partners closely to ensure the tone and message reflect the heart of your mission with care, respect, and emotional truth.
4. What editing platforms and technical standards does Manic Sky use?
Our craft centers on Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. While your story is in our hands, its media files are kept safe, following strict internal protocol for backups or cloud based storage. And when the work is done, we offer a place for it to rest—archived, preserved—so that what you’ve made may endure, long past the final fade to black.
5. How does Manic Sky handle project workflow and quality control?
Every visionary partner brings their own ways of working, and we adapt to them gladly, while holding fast to our own internal discipline—physical or cloud based backups, clean organization, and consistent file naming. We watch down every version of the edit before it is sent and welcome our Visionary Partners feedback and revision requests at every stage so that the final cut arrives not by chance, but by shared purpose—clean, exact, and precisely true to your audience.
6. Can Manic Sky work remotely or do you require in-person collaboration?
We work remotely with all of our Visionary Partners. All of our systems are optimized for convenient remote collaboration, using the most advanced technology available to us coupled with fiberoptic internet.
However, we never say no to a cup of coffee at a local cafe around town.
7. How does Manic Sky protect client confidentiality?
We pride ourselves on confidentiality, ensuring only trusted team members, bound by strict agreements, handle our Visionary Partner’s projects. We do not disclose our share any media or version of a project until it is released publicly, at which point, unless otherwise agreed to, we hold the right to share for marketing purposes only. See our privacy policy here for more information.
