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
Honda operates in automotive, and the work was produced in Pune in 2026. Deliverables: master ad film, 9:16 vertical cut, dealer social variants, sound design & mix. Services applied: ad-film-production, video-editing, motion-graphics.
We storyboarded the customer journey frame by frame, then built the entire spot through a controlled generative pipeline: character consistency locked per shot, Honda brand colours and product geometry supervised at every pass, and a conventional edit, grade and sound design finishing the film exactly as a live-action ad would be finished.
Every project on this site is a real, published engagement with a named client. We publish briefs, approaches and outcomes rather than a reel of anonymous shots, because a reel proves someone can hold a camera and a case study proves someone can solve a problem — and the second is what you are actually buying.
Included as standard, whatever the scope: master ad film, 9:16 vertical cut, dealer social variants, sound design & mix. 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 12-25 days with 6-16 crew involved, and the working budget sits between ₹45k and ₹9L. 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 this project ran
- 01
The brief
Honda needed a film explaining Dr. Activa — doorstep two-wheeler servicing — without the cost, permissions and weather risk of a multi-location live-action shoot across residential Pune.
- 02
What we did
We storyboarded the customer journey frame by frame, then built the entire spot through a controlled generative pipeline: character consistency locked per shot, Honda brand colours and product geometry supervised at every pass, and a conventional edit, grade and sound design finishing the film exactly as a live-action ad would be finished.
- 03
The outcome
A broadcast-quality service ad produced without a single location permission, delivered in both horizontal and vertical ratios for dealer social, YouTube pre-roll and in-showroom playback.
- 04
Finished properly
Colour grading on calibrated reference monitors and a designed sound mix, not a preset LUT and a music bed. This is the stage cheap quotes silently skip, and it is the one viewers feel without being able to name.
- 05
Built for the cutdowns
The 16:9 master, the 9:16 reel and the six-second bumper are planned into the same shoot. You leave with an asset library, not one long file you then pay a freelancer to chop up.
- 06
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.

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 honda dr. activa — ai video ad. 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. 6-16 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.

- 05Two or three reference films you like, with reasons
- 06Target platforms and the aspect ratios they need
- 07Any compliance, safety or confidentiality constraints
- 08A realistic go-live date to work backwards from
Questions we get asked first
Who was this project for?＋
Honda, in automotive, produced in Pune in 2026. AI-generated video advertisement for Honda's Dr. Activa doorstep service — a technician arriving at a customer's home with a fully equipped Activa to perform on-site two-wheeler servicing.
What was delivered?＋
Master ad film, 9:16 vertical cut, Dealer social variants, Sound design & mix. Services applied were ad-film-production, video-editing, motion-graphics.
Can you do something similar for us?＋
Yes. Send the brief or just the problem — the process starts with a written objective, then a script and a line-by-line number. Most projects of this type run 12-25 days from locked brief to final master.
What does honda dr. activa — ai video ad cost in Pune?＋
Realistic budgets run from ₹45k for a focused, single-day scope up to ₹9L 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 12-25 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.
How do payments work?＋
A standard schedule is 50% to lock dates, 30% at the shoot and 20% on final delivery, GST invoiced. Dates are held only against a confirmed advance because crew and equipment are blocked out for you on those days.
