Short-form video and reels production · Marketing

Shoot a month of vertical video in one day, or do not start.

Our video production page covers the whole trade, including the walkthrough and the explainer that live on your website. This is the narrow one: short vertical clips, made in quantity, for a feed.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

In one paragraph

Short-form video and reels production makes vertical clips in volume for the feeds where they are watched on a phone with the sound off. GullySales plans the month before anybody films, shoots it in one session, cuts and captions every clip, and reports which ones brought enquiries.

The arithmetic only works in batches. One planned day with the light, the room and the person who speaks well gives you a month of clips. The same day spread across four weeks gives you two and a lot of rescheduling.

Volume on its own does nothing. Thirty clips with no reason to watch them earn nothing thirty times, and the fix is a better first three seconds rather than sixty clips.

The problem

Does this sound like your business?

What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.

  • “One reel takes us the whole morning”

    Setting up, clearing the counter, finding the person, three takes, then editing at night. At that rate nobody sustains two clips a week past the first month.

  • “We have no captions and nobody hears a word”

    Most of this is watched in a queue, in a waiting room, or in bed at midnight with the sound off. An uncaptioned clip is a silent film of somebody's lips moving.

  • “People leave in the first three seconds”

    The clip opens with a logo animation and a greeting. By the time the point arrives the viewer has already gone, and the rest of the edit was wasted.

  • “The person who was going to be in it is never free”

    Filming keeps getting pushed because it depends on one busy doctor, chef or owner. Nothing gets made, and the calendar quietly dies.

What we do

Everything that is included.

Each deliverable, and what it gets you. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. The month written before anybody films

    Every clip listed with its first line, what it shows, and who is in it. Deciding this on the shoot day is how a day produces five clips instead of twenty.

  2. One shoot day, planned to the hour

    Setups grouped so the camera moves twice rather than twenty times, and the people you need are each called for a stated window rather than the whole day.

  3. Phone or crew, decided honestly

    A stylist talking to camera is better on a phone, because it matches what people are used to seeing. A machine in a dark workshop needs lights and somebody who knows how to place them.

  4. Captions burned into the picture

    In the language your buyers read, including Kannada or Hindi in Roman letters where that is how they actually type. Platform auto-captions mangle trade words and brand names.

  5. Cuts sized for each feed

    One clip prepared for Reels, Shorts and WhatsApp status, with the opening frame changed where a feed needs a different hook.

  6. A calendar with clips already in it

    Scheduled out of the batch so nothing is invented on a Thursday morning, and gaps for anything topical that comes up.

  7. A hook rewrite when clips fail

    When a set dies, the first three seconds get rewritten and reshot in the next batch. Same subject, different opening, and we report what changed.

  8. The line back to enquiries

    A link, a profile button or a WhatsApp number that belongs to this work alone, so bookings from clips are counted in the report rather than guessed at.

How the result is measured

  • Clips published against clips planned
  • Watch-through at three seconds and at the end
  • Saves, shares and replies, which move before anything else does
  • Bookings and enquiries traced to a clip's link or profile button
  • Cost per finished clip across a shoot day

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Who it is for

This is written for you if these sound familiar.

  • Clinics, salons and studios where the treatment or the finished result is worth watching
  • Dealers and showrooms whose stock changes weekly and needs showing rather than describing
  • Anyone running paid social who burns through creative every few weeks
  • Owners who speak well on camera with no system for capturing it
  • Restaurants and bakeries where the kitchen is the most interesting thing the business owns

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have nothing to show and nothing to say, and a month of clips only publishes that more often
  • Your buyer is a purchase manager comparing specification sheets, who wants a detailed page and a drawing
  • Nobody at the business will appear on camera, which leaves stock footage nobody believes

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the work runs

  1. 1

    Decide what the clips are for

    Bringing walk-ins, feeding paid social, or answering the question that eats your phone time. Each produces a different batch, and trying to do all three gives you a weak version of each.

  2. 2

    Write the batch in one sitting

    Hooks, shots and captions listed together. You read it before the shoot and strike anything you would not want a customer to see.

  3. 3

    Hold the shoot day

    We arrive with the plan, the frames and the order of setups. Your side brings the room, the stock, the people at their stated times, and a change of clothes so a month of clips does not look like one afternoon.

  4. 4

    Cut, caption and check

    Clips are edited, subtitled and sent to you in one batch. Anything a customer could argue with is checked by whoever actually knows the trade.

  5. 5

    Publish and read the drop-off

    Posting runs on the calendar, and we watch where people leave rather than the view count. The next batch is written from what the drop-off point told us.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

Engagement options

Ways to work with us.

Pick the size of commitment that fits. Every option starts with your brief and a conversation.

  1. Option 1

    The conversation on its own

    A call after you send your brief. It says honestly whether you need outside help, and many fixes are ones your own team can make.

  2. Option 2

    One fix, scoped

    Start with the fix that matters most, such as reply time or follow-up. The fee is in writing before anything starts.

  3. Option 3

    An ongoing programme

    We run the work, report against the baseline, and you renew on the numbers. The term and the reporting are agreed in writing first.

  4. Option 4

    Guidance for your own team or agency

    We plan, brief and check the work of your in-house team or current agency, instead of replacing them.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Can we shoot all this on a phone?
For a person talking to camera, a phone is usually the better choice, because polished lighting makes a clip look like an advertisement and people skip advertisements. Low light, machinery and anything with a fast movement in it are where a crew earns its cost.
What do you need from us on the shoot day?
A room we can keep quiet for three hours, your people called at fixed times, stock and products ready, and permission settled in advance for filming staff or customers. A second outfit helps, otherwise every clip that month is visibly the same afternoon.
How many clips come out of one day?
We agree the number before the day, after seeing how many setups your premises allow and how long your people can be spared. Anybody quoting a figure without visiting is guessing, and the honest limit is usually your staff's patience rather than the camera.
Do the clips have to be in English?
No, and for a local business they often should not be. A Kannada or Hindi clip with captions works better with buyers in your own city, and we caption in whichever script your customers actually read on a phone.
Our staff do not want to be filmed. What then?
Nobody should be pushed in front of a camera. Hands, product, process and the finished result carry a surprising amount on their own, and plenty of good clips never show a face. If the owner is willing, one person carrying the channel is enough.
How is this priced?
There is no published price. A shoot day, the editing hours and the number of clips set the cost, and production is shown separately from our planning and posting time. The scope is agreed in writing before anything is booked.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
