Video production for d2c brands in Pune
Corporate Video Production for D2C Brands either shortens the sales conversation or lengthens it — nothing in between. Boardroom-grade films that explain what your company actually does. We work as a production unit, not a rental desk — the same team that writes the script is on set for the shoot and in the room for the final grade, which is why the film that gets delivered still resembles the one that was approved.
Creative volume wins — the system must produce testable variants, not one hero film. In practice that changes the entire production plan. The person approving the film is usually the founder / performance marketer, the hardest constraint on set is fast-moving sku calendars, and the number that decides whether the project was worth it is cpa and hook-rate. We design the schedule, the script and the deliverable set around those three realities.
We shoot for the cutdowns from day one, so the vertical, the 15-second and the master all come from one schedule. The strongest performing cuts are almost never the longest ones. A typical corporate video production engagement runs 12-18 days end to end with 6-10 crew on the production days, and lands between ₹45k and ₹3.5L depending on scale.

Why d2c brands teams in Pune brief us
- 01
Regional language ready
Marathi, Hindi and English versions are produced in-house with native artists and sync QC, so one production serves three audiences.
- 02
Compliance-aware
We plan around fast-moving sku calendars from the recce onward, so approvals do not stall the edit at the last minute.
- 03
One accountable team
Script, shoot and post sit under one roof. There is no handoff gap where the idea quietly gets diluted, and one person owns the timeline from brief to master.
- 04
Fixed, itemised quotes
Every line is priced — crew, gear, locations, talent, post. You approve the sheet before we book anything, and scope changes are re-quoted in writing rather than appearing on the final invoice.
- 05
Local to Pune
Our crew, gear and post suite are all in Pune. Nothing is subcontracted to a Mumbai unit and marked up on the way back.
- 06
Built for the cutdowns
The 16:9 master, the vertical reel and the six-second bumper are planned into the same shoot. You get an asset library, not a single file you then pay someone else to chop up.
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.
Six stages, no surprises
Approval chains in d2c brands are planned into the schedule, not discovered halfway through the edit.
- Stage 01Day 1-3
Discovery & brief lock
We sit with the people who actually own the outcome — usually sales, HR or the founder — and get to what the film has to change. The output is a one-page brief with a single measurable objective, not a mood board.
- Stage 02Day 3-7
Script & treatment
A written script, a shot-by-shot treatment and reference frames. Nothing is booked until this is signed. This is the cheapest place to change your mind and the most expensive place to skip.
- Stage 03Day 6-10
Recce & pre-production
Location recce in Pune, casting, permissions, art direction and a shotlist with timings. 6-10 crew are scheduled against that list so the shoot day has no dead hours.
- Stage 04Shoot days
Production
Filming with Sony FX6, Cine primes, Aputure 600d. We shoot for every deliverable in one pass — master, cutdowns and vertical crops — instead of returning for pickups later.
- Stage 05Day 10-18
Post-production
Assembly, edit, sound design, colour grade and graphics. Reviews run on timestamped links with two structured revision rounds included in the schedule.
- Stage 06Final week
Delivery & rollout
Platform-correct exports, subtitle files, thumbnails and a short rollout note on where each cut belongs. Shortens enterprise sales cycles by giving buyers one credible film.

How corporate video production actually gets made
The part of corporate video production that decides the outcome is pre-production, and it is the part most quotes compress. A shotlist that maps every deliverable to a specific setup means a 6-10 crew unit can cover in one day what an unplanned crew spreads across three. That is where the cost difference between a disciplined production and a cheap one actually shows up — not in the day rate, but in how many days you end up paying for.
On set we run Sony FX6, Cine primes, Aputure 600d because the format has to hold up under grading and cropping later. Shooting at higher resolution than the delivery spec is not vanity: it is what allows a single wide take to yield a clean 16:9 master and a 9:16 vertical cut without a second shoot. Across Pune the practical variables are ambient noise, power stability and access windows, all of which we lock during the recce.
Post-production is where the film either becomes an asset or a folder nobody opens. The assembly edit answers whether the story works; the fine cut answers whether it holds attention; the grade and mix answer whether it feels like it came from a serious company. For d2c brands clients we also build the cost per acquisition narrative directly into the structure, because that is what the founder / performance marketer is actually evaluating.
Use cases we plan for on this kind of project include company profile, investor deck film, onboarding. Each one implies a different length, a different opening and a different call to action, which is exactly why we produce a set of cuts rather than one film with a generic ending stitched on. Shortens enterprise sales cycles by giving buyers one credible film.
What to bring to the first call
- 01A single, written objective for the film
- 02The person who signs off, identified before scripting
- 03Brand assets: logo files, fonts, colour codes, existing footage
- 04Confirmed shoot locations and access windows
- 05Two or three reference films you like, with reasons
- 06Any fast-moving sku calendars we need to plan around
- 07Target platforms and the aspect ratios they need
- 08A realistic go-live date to work backwards from
Questions we get asked first
How much does corporate video production cost in Pune?＋
Realistic budgets run from ₹45k for a focused single-day production up to ₹3.5L for a full-scale build with a larger crew, art direction and extended post. The variables that actually move the number are shoot days, crew size, talent, locations and how many cutdowns you need. We quote line-by-line, so you can see exactly what a day of 6-10 crew or an extra grading pass costs before you approve anything.
Do you provide regional language versions?＋
Marathi, Hindi and English are handled in-house with native voice artists, and we run a sync QC pass on every dub. Subtitle files are delivered as both burned-in variants and separate SRTs so the same master works on broadcast, social and an internal LMS.
Can you shoot at our own premises?＋
Yes. We shoot on-site across Pune and PCMC and bring our own power, lighting and sound control. A recce before the shoot day lets us design around ceiling height, ambient noise and access windows.
How long does the whole process take?＋
Plan for 12-18 days from locked brief to final master for a standard corporate video production project. Pre-production takes the largest share of that window because scripting, casting and location recce decide how efficient the shoot day is. Fast-track schedules are possible when the script is already approved and the locations are fixed.
Who owns the raw footage?＋
You do, for the licensed deliverables. Raw rushes are archived for twelve months and can be handed over on a drive at cost. We do not hold footage hostage as a retention tactic — the reason clients come back is the next project, not the archive.
What if we do not like the first cut?＋
Two revision rounds are standard and built into the timeline. Reviews happen on a timestamped review link so feedback is attached to the exact frame instead of arriving as a paragraph of notes. Structural changes after the first cut is approved are quoted separately, which is precisely why the script lock stage exists.
What do we actually receive at the end?＋
The delivery kit includes master 4k film, 60s cutdown, vertical social edit, subtitled variant, plus platform-correct exports, subtitle files and a clearly licensed archive of the master. You own the finished deliverables outright, and we hand over the project files on request so no future vendor is locked out.
