Our Story
Earwig started because every shooter knows this feeling: you film something brilliant, you know it the second it happens, and then you lose hours hunting for it again in the edit.
Who Built This
Earwig was built by Harry Winteringham, a producer-director with seven years in prime-time factual for BBC One, Channel 4, Netflix, and Apple TV+. Credits include Ambulance (BAFTA-winning), Educating Yorkshire (BAFTA-nominated), Freddie Flintoff's Field of Dreams (BAFTA-nominated), and Leaving Neverland.
NHS frontline, schools, families in crisis. You only get one take, and the best moments were always the hardest to find again. Earwig exists so they never get lost.
The Problem
You're filming and you know it: that's the bit. The line, the look, the moment the whole story turns on. You move on. Days later you're in the edit, scrubbing hours of footage trying to find it again. The moment is in there somewhere. Finding it is the job nobody enjoys.
Mark the moment. Find it in the edit.
The Solution
Earwig lets you mark the moment the instant it happens. Tap your phone or watch on set and it captures the timecode, the exact words, and a short summary of what just happened.
When you wrap, those become smart markers that drop straight onto your DaVinci Resolve or Premiere timeline through Earwig Sync. Your editor opens the project and the good bits are already labelled.
Earwig also preps your interviews: it spots the gaps in your questions, keeps you on track one prompt at a time, and hands you a report when you're done.
What We Believe
The best moments are obvious on set. Catch them before they vanish into the rushes
One tap, no scribbled notes. You watch the person, not a logbook
Earwig captures the quote and the summary. The editorial judgement stays with you
Your footage and transcripts are used only to build your own markers and shoot log. We never sell them, and they only help train our AI if you opt in
