FMCG Video Production in Mumbai

01

FMCG context

Fast-moving consumer goods brands operating at national media scale.

For fmcg teams, video sits inside an approval chain, not outside it. FSSAI and ASCI compliance on every claim. We build that into the schedule rather than discovering it at the sign-off stage.

• TVCs — briefed, scripted and delivered as a distinct asset rather than a cutdown afterthought.
• Digital ad films — briefed, scripted and delivered as a distinct asset rather than a cutdown afterthought.
• Trade films — briefed, scripted and delivered as a distinct asset rather than a cutdown afterthought.
• Recipe and usage content — briefed, scripted and delivered as a distinct asset rather than a cutdown afterthought.

What good looks like in this sector

Trade films move distributor behaviour as much as consumer ads move sales.

Production is the easy part; agreeing what the film must achieve is the work. In fmcg, the most common failure is a film that is technically excellent and commercially silent — beautiful footage that never states the proposition. We test the script against the buying decision before the camera is booked.

Formats that work for fmcg

Sector fit matters more than production value. These are the formats that consistently earn their budget here.

• Corporate Photography Services — A stills library that matches the film language. 2-3 weeks, Rs 55K - Rs 5L.
• Video Studio Rental — A controlled environment with zero weather risk. Book 48 hours ahead, Rs 18K - Rs 1.6L per day.
• Green Screen Video Production — Any backdrop, any language, one shoot. 2-3 weeks, Rs 90K - Rs 7L.
• Video Scriptwriting Services — A story that survives contact with the boardroom. 1-2 weeks, Rs 25K - Rs 2.5L.
• Voice Over Services — A read that sounds like your brand, not a template. 3-7 working days, Rs 12K - Rs 1.5L.
• Subtitling and Dubbing Services — One film, every market you sell into. 5-10 working days, Rs 8K - Rs 1.2L per language.
• Colour Grading Services — The polish that separates brand film from footage. 3-7 working days, Rs 30K - Rs 3L.
• VFX Services — Shots that would be impossible or unsafe to film. 3-8 weeks, Rs 1L - Rs 40L.

04

Approvals and compliance

FSSAI and ASCI compliance on every claim. We route the script through your compliance reviewer before production starts, not after the edit, because a late legal change is the most expensive kind of change.

Where regulated claims are involved, we keep a claims-substantiation sheet alongside the script so every on-screen statement has a source.

Five ways fmcg video projects go wrong

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

• 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.
• Approving a script by committee: Every extra approver adds a message. Nominate one decision maker and let them arbitrate.

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.
