Product, service, founder and corporate reels for Instagram, Facebook and YouTube Shorts — planned, filmed and cut by one team.

More Than Just Another Reel
No random content. No copy-paste trends. Reels built around your brand.
Anyone can post a Reel. Creating one that actually represents your brand is different.
Most short-form video production in Chennai begins after the footage already exists — someone shoots, an editor cuts, and the two never speak. We start earlier. Concept, script, shot list, filming, lighting, edit, captions, music and the final vertical export come from one team, which is why a month of reels looks like it came from one brand instead of four freelancers.
The result is content that looks considered, feels authentic and says something worth remembering in the first two seconds.

One Shoot Day, a Month of Reels
Batch shooting is what keeps the cost per reel down.
A shoot day is rarely one reel. We plan the shot list in batches — two or three backdrops, a wardrobe change, a block of talking-head takes, B-roll of the product, the space or the process — and the footage is cut into separate reels afterwards.
As a working guide, a half day gives us four to six reels and a full day gives eight to twelve, depending on how many setups, locations and people are involved. Founder and talking-head content batches fastest because the lighting stays where it is. Product and process reels take longer to set up but reuse the same B-roll across several edits.
Shooting once instead of four times is the whole reason a monthly reels package costs less per reel than four separate shoot days.

Monthly Reels Packages for Brands
A fixed number of reels every month, shot in a single visit.
Most brands do not need a reel. They need a calendar. A monthly reels retainer fixes how many reels you get, when they are filmed and when they land in your folder, so the feed does not go quiet in week three.
A typical retainer runs one shoot day a month at your place or ours, a fixed count of eight to twelve finished reels, a content plan approved before the camera comes out, and vertical masters with captions ready for Instagram, Facebook and YouTube Shorts. Reel counts, shoot frequency, travel and revision rounds are written into the quote rather than left open.
We produce and deliver. If you also need someone to publish the reels, hold the posting calendar and answer comments, we will say so upfront and work alongside your social media team instead of pretending to be one.

Turnaround and Revisions
Dates go into the quote before a shoot day is blocked.
Clocks start from the shoot day, not from the enquiry. Volume moves these numbers, so the final dates are confirmed in writing before anything is booked.
| Deliverable | Standard | Rush |
|---|---|---|
| First cut of a single reel | 3 to 5 working days | 48 hours |
| Batch of 8 to 12 reels from one shoot | 7 to 10 working days | 5 working days |
| Edit-only reels from footage you shot | 2 to 4 working days | 24 to 48 hours |
| Captions, subtitles and extra aspect ratios | 1 to 2 working days | Same day |
Every reel carries two rounds of revisions on the approved cut, covering trims, pacing, on-screen text, music swaps and colour. A new concept or a re-shoot after sign-off is quoted separately. Rush work carries a surcharge and depends on the calendar, so if a launch date is fixed, say so early and the schedule gets built backwards from it.

Built to Platform Spec, Not Cropped Later
Vertical framing, safe zones and captions handled on the day.
A reel framed for a 16:9 timeline and squeezed into 9:16 at the end always shows. We frame vertical while the camera is still up, then export to the spec each platform actually wants.
| Platform | Ratio and size | Length | What we watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Instagram Reels | 9:16, 1080 x 1920 | Up to 90 seconds | Headlines kept clear of the top and bottom interface bands |
| YouTube Shorts | 9:16, 1080 x 1920 | Up to 3 minutes | Opening frame and end card readable at thumbnail size |
| Facebook Reels | 9:16, 1080 x 1920 | Up to 90 seconds | Same master, separate export and caption burn |
| Feed and paid cut-downs | 4:5, 1:1 and 16:9 | 15 to 60 seconds | Reframed from the same footage rather than letterboxed |
Captions are burned in as standard because most of the feed is watched on mute, and an SRT file comes with the delivery if you would rather add them natively. Logos, headlines and end cards sit inside the middle band so the username, caption and share icons never cover them. Audio is mixed to read on a phone speaker, not only on headphones.

Reels We Have Shot in Chennai
Automobile, spa and fashion sets, cut in house.
Formats are easier to judge than adjectives. The sets below were concepted, filmed and edited by our own team — an automobile series, a spa and wellness series and a fashion series — so you can see the hooks, the pacing and the caption style before you brief anything.
More categories, including product and corporate work, sit on our work page.

Reels Editing Only?
Already have the footage?
If the filming is done and you only need the cut, that is a different job and it is priced differently. Send the raw files and we handle the hook, pacing, captions, music, colour and the vertical export, usually inside two to four working days.
That work sits on our video editing services page. If you want the reels planned and filmed as well, this page is the right one, and both can run on the same retainer.

FAQs
How many reels can you make from one shoot day?
Four to six reels from a half day and eight to twelve from a full day is the usual range. It depends on how many setups, outfits, locations and people are involved. Founder and talking-head content batches fastest, while product and process reels need more setup time but let us reuse the same B-roll across several edits. The exact count is agreed in the content plan before we shoot.
How much do brand reels cost in Chennai?
There is no single rate, and anyone quoting one before seeing the brief is guessing. The number moves with how many reels you need, how many shoot days and locations are involved, whether a presenter or talent is required, and how much motion graphics the edit carries. Batch shoots and monthly packages work out cheaper per reel than one-off shoots. Send the brief and you get a fixed quote with the reel count spelled out.
Do you script and plan the reels, or do we send the ideas?
We plan them. You get concepts, hooks, scripts or talking points and a shot list before the camera comes out, and nothing is filmed until that is signed off. If you already have ideas or a campaign calendar, we build around them rather than starting from scratch.
What is the turnaround for brand reels?
A single reel takes three to five working days from the shoot day. A batch of eight to twelve reels takes seven to ten working days. Edit-only work from footage you shot runs two to four working days. Rush delivery is possible for a surcharge, subject to the calendar, and every reel includes two rounds of revisions.
Can you edit reels from footage we already shot?
Yes. Send the raw files and we handle the hook, pacing, captions, music, colour and the vertical export. That is priced as an edit-only job and explained on our video editing services page. If the footage has gaps, the missing pickups can be shot separately.
Do you also post the reels and manage the account?
We produce and deliver; we do not run your account. Reels arrive as ready-to-post vertical files with burned-in captions, an SRT file and suggested on-post copy, and we work alongside your in-house or agency social team. If you need full account management, we will say so upfront instead of stretching the scope.
Do you handle both shooting and editing?
Yes, and that is the point of the service. Concept, script, filming, lighting, sound, edit, captions and the final export are handled by one team, which is why colour, pacing and tone stay consistent across a whole month of reels.
Can you create reels regularly for our business?
Yes. Most brands move to a monthly reels package after the first shoot: one shoot day a month, a fixed number of finished reels, an approved content plan and a delivery date in writing. It keeps the feed active without a fresh negotiation every few weeks.
What are brand reels?
Short vertical videos made to show a brand’s products, services, people, expertise or story on Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels and YouTube Shorts. Unlike trend-chasing clips, they are planned around what the business actually needs to communicate.
Do you create reels for paid advertisements?
Yes. Promotional and ad reels are built for paid social: a hook inside the first two seconds, a clear offer, captions and safe-zone framing, plus alternate hook variants and 4:5 or 1:1 cut-downs from the same master so you can test creative without a second shoot.
