Dear Valued Clients,


As we embark on a new year together, we at Eight Eighteen Studios want to take a moment to share with you an important aspect of our behind-the-scenes process: the purging of raw video footage from previous projects. While this may seem like a routine task, we believe it's essential to shed light on its significance and how it ultimately benefits you, our cherished clients.


You see, every project we undertake leaves a digital footprint—a treasure trove of raw footage capturing every moment, every angle, every emotion. It's a testament to the dedication and creativity poured into each collaboration. But as time passes, these digital archives can grow unwieldy, filled with footage that has served its purpose and is now simply taking up space.


We understand how nerve-racking it can be to contemplate deleting footage from past projects. Each frame represents countless hours of hard work, passion, and dedication. It's like saying goodbye to a piece of our creative journey—a sentiment we don't take lightly.

However, we want to assure you that this process isn't about erasing the past; it's about making room for the future. Here's why purging raw video footage is crucial for us—and for you:

  1. Optimizing Your Experience: By clearing out old footage, we ensure that our focus remains squarely on your current project. This means quicker turnarounds, more efficient editing, and ultimately, a better experience for you.

  2. Protecting Your Assets: Your trust is paramount to us. By purging outdated footage, we're safeguarding your content against potential security risks. Your stories deserve the utmost protection, and we take that responsibility seriously.

  3. Fostering Creativity: Creativity flourishes in a clutter-free environment. By decluttering our archives, we're creating space for fresh ideas, innovative approaches, and ultimately, a more compelling final product for you to share with the world.


We understand that transparency is key in our partnership, which is why we're committed to keeping you informed every step of the way. Before purging any footage related to your projects, we'll reach out to discuss our data management practices and address any concerns you may have.


In the end, our goal remains unchanged: to bring your vision to life in the most vibrant, authentic way possible. By purging raw video footage from past projects, we're not just making room on our hard drives—we're making room for new stories, new memories, and new moments of magic.


Thank you for entrusting us with your stories. Here's to another year of collaboration, creativity, and capturing moments that matter.


Warm Regards,


Brandon Hudson
