Time taken to film a project to editing to the final project.
Filming a project is only one aspect. A day of filming will take another day of editing. Adding menus and chapters, adding transitions, adding b-roll, cutting down the film, transferring it to the editor, to DVD or on the Internet, and creating labels and covers, all takes as much time as the actual filming, if not more. The more time spent editing, the better the final product will be.
Filming the project takes skill, editing the project is another skill which must be done by someone who can put it all together. When two or more cameras are used, it doubles or triples the time to edit. It is important to keep in mind that from the day of filming to recieving the final project is something that takes time, and should not be rushed.
