Getting the spec right
An explainer earns its cost by removing the 'what is this?' question from every sales call that follows.
Delivered to spec: scripted voiceover, brand-system animation, two language versions, source project handover. Format work fails on technicalities far more often than on creative — the wrong ratio, missing captions, a hook that arrives two seconds too late — so we build the delivery requirements into the shotlist rather than discovering them at export.
Budgets run ₹35k to ₹3L depending on volume and production value. Because web / sales rewards consistency over one-off polish, most Pune clients get better results buying a batch from a single shoot day than a single expensive asset.

An itemised quote, not a lump sum. You see every line — crew, days, locations, post — before anything is booked.
A written reply within 24 hours. A real scope and a real number, from the person who will run your project.
NDA before the brief, if you need it. Signed first. We shoot inside plants, R&D floors and pre-launch product rooms.
Nothing to pay to talk. Scripting direction and budget guidance cost nothing. You pay when dates are blocked.
The parts that decide the number
The technical spec for web / sales is not a formality. Scripted voiceover. Brand-system animation. Two language versions. Source project handover. Getting any of these wrong means the platform re-encodes, crops or normalises your file, and the version your audience sees is not the version you approved. We deliver platform-correct masters plus the source file, so re-versioning later does not require a new export from us.
Pune brands in this format typically fall into one of two mistakes. The first is treating it as an afterthought — cutting a vertical from a corporate film in the last hour of the edit. The second is over-producing a single asset and having nothing to follow it with. The correct approach is a planned batch from one shoot: one day, one crew, a month of scheduled output.
Measurement should be set before the shoot. For web / sales, the meaningful signals are early retention, completion rate and the action taken after viewing — not raw view counts. We build the CTA and the end frame around the metric you name, and where useful we cut two variants of the opening so you can test which hook actually holds.
Included as standard, whatever the scope: scripted voiceover, brand-system animation, two language versions, source project handover. Each of those is a line on the quote rather than an assumption, because "full package" means nothing until someone writes down what is in it. If a line does not apply to your brief we take it off and the number comes down — that is the point of quoting this way.
Delivery runs 7-18 days with 3-8 crew involved, and the working budget sits between ₹35k and ₹3L. We hold dates only against a confirmed advance because those days are blocked for you, and we would rather tell you a date is gone than take the booking and quietly downgrade the crew.
How we approach Web / Sales work
- 01
Built for Web / Sales, not adapted to it
16:9 at 60-120 seconds is designed into the framing on set. Cropping a horizontal master into this format is why so much branded content underperforms — the composition was never made for the frame it ends up in.
- 02
What actually works here
Write the script before any design. One problem, one solution, one CTA. Use your own product UI, not stock. Keep it under 90 seconds.
- 03
Volume beats polish
On Web / Sales, a consistent stream of well-made assets outperforms one flagship film. We plan shoot days to produce batches — same crew, same setup, many finished pieces — which drops the cost per asset sharply.
- 04
Itemised before it is booked
Crew, gear, locations, talent, travel and post are priced line by line. You approve the sheet before a single date is blocked, and any scope change is re-quoted in writing rather than appearing on the final invoice.
- 05
One accountable team
Script, shoot and post sit under one roof in Pune. There is no handoff gap where the idea quietly gets diluted, and one producer owns the timeline from the first call to the delivered master.
- 06
Permissions handled early
Site inductions, society approvals, mall and MIDC permissions and drone clearances are cleared before the shoot day rather than negotiated at a gate with a crew on the clock.

Six stages, no surprises
- Stage 01Day 1-3
Discovery & brief lock
We sit with whoever owns the outcome — sales, HR, product or the founder — and get to what this has to change. The output is a one-page brief with one measurable objective, not a mood board.
- Stage 02Day 3-7
Script & treatment
A written script, a shot-by-shot treatment and reference frames for explainer video production in pune. Nothing is booked until this is signed — the cheapest place to change your mind.
- Stage 03Day 6-10
Recce & pre-production
Location recce, casting, permissions, art direction and a timed shotlist. 3-8 crew are scheduled against that list so the shoot day carries no dead hours.
- Stage 04Shoot days
Production
We shoot for every deliverable in one pass — master, cutdowns and vertical crops — instead of returning for pickups and billing a second day.
- Stage 05Day 10-18
Post-production
Assembly, fine cut, sound design, colour grade and graphics. Reviews run on timestamped links with two structured revision rounds inside the schedule.
- Stage 06Final week
Delivery & rollout
Platform-correct exports, subtitle files, thumbnails and a short rollout note on where each cut belongs and what it is meant to do.

Questions we get asked first
What does explainer video production cost in Pune?＋
₹35k to ₹3L depending on how many assets you need and the production value. A batch of six to twelve pieces from a single shoot day is dramatically cheaper per asset than commissioning them one at a time.
What are the delivery specs?＋
Scripted voiceover, Brand-system animation, Two language versions, Source project handover. We deliver the platform-correct master plus source files, so future re-versioning does not depend on coming back to us.
How long should the video be?＋
60-120 seconds is the working range for web / sales. Longer is possible when the content genuinely earns it, but the format's retention curve is unforgiving and most films are improved by being cut shorter than the client's first instinct.
Can this come out of an existing shoot?＋
Yes, if the shoot was planned for it — meaning the framing left room for the crop and the coverage supports a different edit. If it was not, the honest answer is that a reframed horizontal film usually looks like exactly that.
What does explainer video production in pune cost in Pune?＋
Realistic budgets run from ₹35k for a focused, single-day scope up to ₹3L once you add crew, talent, locations and extended post. The variables that actually move the number are shoot days, crew size and how many finished cuts you need — not the camera body. Every quote we send is itemised so you can see what each of those lines costs before approving.
How long does it take?＋
Plan for 7-18 days from locked brief to final master. Pre-production takes the largest share of that window because scripting, casting and the recce decide how efficient the shoot day is. Fast-track schedules are possible when the script is already approved and locations are confirmed.
Do you work across Pune and PCMC?＋
Yes — Hinjewadi, Kharadi, Baner, Viman Nagar, Camp, Kothrud, Chakan, Talegaon, Pimpri-Chinchwad and the outer belt towards Pawna and Shirwal. Crew, kit and power are ours, so a shoot at your premises does not depend on what is available locally.
Who owns the footage and the final files?＋
You own the licensed deliverables outright. Raw rushes are archived for twelve months and can be handed over on a drive at cost. We do not hold footage as a retention tactic — repeat work should come from the last project being good, not from a hostage archive.
