Time is the
only thing
we bend.

With 24 frames per second the cinematographic tradition began. It is not arbitrary — 24 fps is the rate at which the human brain perceives motion as smooth and cinematic.

But the real power of video over time lies in the ability to manipulate time itself. Video can stretch a second into a minute, or condense a day into ten seconds. No other medium has this capability in the same way.

Pacing — the rhythm with which images follow each other — is one of the most powerful tools in post-production. A fast edit creates energy. A slow edit creates reflection and emotional depth.

pmeijer shoots at variable frame rates — from standard 24 fps for the cinematic character, to higher framerates for slow-motion shots that are brought back to 24 fps in post.

The editing and timing of every production is carefully matched to the emotional arc of the story. Not cutting to the beat of the music as a reflex, but deliberately choosing the moment of each cut.

All editing, speed ramping and time manipulation is done in DaVinci Resolve by Blackmagic — one integrated post-production from start to finish, without quality loss.
