On Location
Turkish editors cut features, commercials and dizi series in Istanbul post houses, working at the pace set by the world's second-largest television-series export industry.
Here is what we have to work with. We supply editors who assemble and finish shoots in Turkey, working from Istanbul edit suites equipped for collaborative cutting, remote review and delivery to theatrical and streaming specs. Our team places editors who join a project at the dailies stage and carry it through assembly, fine cut and locked picture, working closely with the director to find structure and pace. Because the country's editing pool is sized by its huge episodic output, the editors we engage are as well at home with the relentless turnaround of a long-running series and the more deliberate rhythm of a feature or top commercial. They manage media-ordered workflows, set up with the colorist and sound team for finishing, and version cuts for the many areas that license Turkish content.
Here is the layout. Turkey's post-prod base grew with the 'dizi' industry — the country is the world's second-largest exporter of television series after the United States — and that volume produced editors fluent across genre, from historical epics like 'Magnificent Century' to today's streaming thrillers such as 'The Protector'. Istanbul facilities also support the country's worldwide honoured cinema. The cutting on Nuri Bilge Ceylan's measured, dialogue-driven features represents a very different editorial discipline from high-speed series work, and Turkish editors move between the two. University film programmes at Istanbul, Marmara and Bilgi feed new editors into the field, while the favourable Turkish lira and the up-to-30% cash rebates make Istanbul post strongly cost-competitive for global finishing.

At what stage should an editor get involved?
Here is how the picture comes together.
