Podcast Video Production in Mumbai

01

What podcast video production actually involves

Multi-camera video podcasts with an episode engine that keeps the calendar full.

We would rather cut a scene in the script than discover the problem in the grade. For video podcasts, that means deciding early whether the film is doing persuasion work, explanation work or proof work — because those three jobs need different structures, different running times and different crews.

A typical engagement runs weekly cadence and is delivered by producer, 3-cam operator, sound engineer, clip editor. The technical package is built around 3x fx30, shure sm7b, rodecaster pro ii, acoustic studio, scaled up or down against the brief rather than the invoice.

02

What you receive

Deliverables are agreed in writing before the shoot, so nothing is negotiated after the fact. The standard package for video podcasts includes:

• Full episode master
• 8-12 vertical clips
• Audiogram set
• Show artwork

03

How we run the project

Six stages, each with a named owner and a dated checkpoint.

• Post production: Offline cut, client review, online conform, colour grade, sound mix and graphics. You see the film at rough cut, fine cut and final.
• Delivery and measurement: Platform-specific masters, captions, thumbnails and an asset index. We review performance after 30 days and feed it into the next brief.
• Discovery: A 90-minute session with the people who own the outcome. We leave with the audience, the proposition and the single action the film has to drive.
• Strategy and script: A written treatment and shooting script, reviewed against the brief. Two revision rounds are built into the schedule so feedback does not delay production.
• Pre-production: Recce, permissions, casting, art direction and a call sheet issued 72 hours ahead. Everything that can be decided before the shoot day is decided before the shoot day.
• Production: A crew sized to the brief. We shoot to the edit, capture protection coverage, and review selects with you at wrap.

Investment and what moves the number

Podcast Video Production projects typically sit between Rs 55K - Rs 4L per episode. The variables that move that figure are crew size, number of shoot days, cast and location fees, and the depth of post production.

We quote in three tiers against the same script so you can see exactly what an extra day or an extra grade session buys. What we do not do is win the brief on price and rebuild the margin through change requests.

• Included as standard: delivery specs matched to each platform, not one master for everything.
• Included as standard: a named producer who answers the phone on shoot day.
• Included as standard: a locked shooting script before any kit is booked.
• Included as standard: day-rate transparency with no post-shoot surprises.

Five ways video podcasts projects go wrong

Most failed video projects fail for the same handful of reasons. These are the ones we plan against.

• Shooting without a distribution plan: A film with no media plan and no owner on the marketing side quietly dies on a shared drive.
• Underestimating audio: Viewers forgive soft focus. They abandon a video with bad sound within seconds.
• Skipping the recce: Most Mumbai overruns trace back to a location nobody visited before the shoot day.
• Briefing a format instead of an outcome: Asking for a two-minute corporate video is a specification, not a brief. Start from what has to change in the viewer's mind.

Working with us

We are a Mumbai production company that works to a written scope, a fixed schedule and an agreed deliverable list. Briefs come in from marketing heads, founders, HR leads and agency partners, and all of them get the same first step: a conversation about the outcome.

If a video is not the right answer, we will say so. That has cost us projects and won us clients.
