Our 5-Step Production Process
1. Brief & Script Development
Every great video starts with a strong script. We collaborate with you to understand:
- Purpose: Is it a product demo, investor pitch, or internal update?
- Audience: Who will watch this video?
- Tone: Professional, inspiring, conversational?
Then we write or enhance the script using our creative team + AI tools like GPT-4o to explore multiple angles.
✅Example: For BlueVerse, an AI agentic product from LTIMindtree, we developed a script that highlighted their innovative solutions in a tone that resonated with their target audience.
2. Stock Footage & Voiceover Selection
We source visuals from premium stock media libraries like Shutterstock, Artgrid, Getty Images and more.
If we can't find the right visual, we create custom scenes using generative AI tools like Midjourney and RunwayML.
We also help you choose between:
- Premium AI voiceover (included)
- Human voiceover (optional add-on)
We collaborate via shared documents, allowing you to approve or suggest adjustments easily.
✅Example: We helped a worker safety firm visualize the life of Indian factory workers using AI-generated scenes, something no stock library could offer.
3. First Draft Assembly
This is where the video starts to take shape:
- Combine approved visuals (initially in watermarked form).
- Add the selected voiceover.
- Integrate any provided assets like product UI or logos.
- Present 2-3 background music options to set the mood.
✅Example: For BlueVerse, we assembled a draft that showcased their vision features using dynamic stock footage, AI voiceover and music options.
4. Refinement & Feedback
We fine-tune the video based on your feedback:
- Enhance pacing and flow.
- Add transitions, typography overlays, and branding elements.
- Incorporate any requested changes to visuals or narration.
✅Example: We refined BlueVerse's video by integrating smooth transitions and stylized text animations to emphasize key messages.
5. Final Touches & Delivery
Time for polish before the big release:
- Replace watermarked visuals with licensed, high-resolution visuals.
- Add sound effects, color consistency, balanced audio mixing, and clean subtitles.
- Deliver the video, optimized for your platform- ready to launch.
✅ Result: BlueVerse’s final delivery was presentation-ready for their global audience in less than two weeks

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How fast can I get my video?
Most clients get their first draft within 7-12 business days from kickoff. Final delivery depends on complexity and response time- but we’re built for speed.
What's the price range?
Our pricing starts at $1,500, which includes stock footage and a premium AI voiceover. If you need additional services like a human voiceover, logo animation, product animation, or custom-produced music, the cost will increase accordingly. We'll provide a detailed quote based on your specific requirements.
Will my video look generic using stock footage?
Not really! We carefully select clips that match your message and brand tone. By combining stock footage with your own assets and AI-generated visuals, we create a video that feels tailor-made for your company.
Do I get an AI voiceover or a human voiceover?
We start with a premium AI voiceover, it sounds natural and is easy to revise. If you'd prefer a human voice, we offer that too for a small additional fee.
🎧 Compare both here: AI Version | Human Version
One of the key benefits of using AI voiceovers is flexibility: if you need to update the script or change phrasing later, we can regenerate the voice quickly without re-recording. This makes the production process faster and more cost-effective.
Do you help with ideation and scriptwriting?
Yes! Whether you're starting from scratch or have a rough draft, our team will guide you from concept to final script- included in every project.
How many revisions are included?
You can request as many revisions as needed - as long as they align with the approved script and storyboard. If you change direction after approving something earlier, we’ll discuss extra time/cost transparently.
Can you integrate our product UI or existing footage?
Absolutely! We can incorporate your product UI demonstrations, screenshots, or any existing footage you have to make the video more personalized and relevant.
What kind of footage do you use?
We license footage from top libraries like Storyblocks, Shutterstock, Getty Images, Pond5, and Artgrid. When standard footage isn’t enough, we generate custom scenes using AI tools like Midjourney or RunwayML to fill in any creative gaps.
Can we create completely custom visuals?
Yes! Using generative AI, we can create unique visuals to represent concepts or scenes that are specific to your brand or message. This allows for greater creativity and personalization in your video.
Do you offer services in multiple languages?
Yes, we can produce videos in multiple languages.
How involved do I need to be in the process?
While we handle the heavy lifting, your involvement is important for providing input on the script, approving visuals, and giving feedback on drafts. Our collaborative approach ensures the final video aligns with your vision.
