Reels & social video
Reels production for brands
One planned shoot day, a month of vertical content, made by the director behind a 3.3M-view campaign reel. I’m Yedukrishna Suresh, and through YKS Productions I plan, shoot and edit Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts for brands in Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune and Dubai. Not phone content and not a TV crew: cinema-grade vertical video, planned for how people actually scroll.
Proof, not promises
Work brands have actually run
A campaign reel past 3.3M views, plus reels for the Marriott campaign and brand content for Vaseline (Unilever).

The 3.3M-view reel
What a reel that travels has in common
The first second earns the rest. The opening frame is planned in the brief, not found in the edit.
It’s made vertical. Framed for 9:16 on set, with captions and text-safe areas in mind.
It looks better than the feed around it. Real light, a proper grade, clean sound.
How a batch day works
A month of reels from one day
Content plan
We agree the month: hooks, formats (product, behind-the-scenes, founder, trend, testimonial) and a shot list for each reel.
Batch shoot
Several reels shot back to back across a few set-ups, so the day is efficient and the look stays consistent.
Edit & deliver
Each reel edited, graded and captioned, plus cover frames, ready to schedule. Paid-ad versions on request.
Batching is the difference between a brand that posts good reels every week and one that posts a good reel every few months. The planning matters as much as the camera.

Reels or a content creator?
Production house or creator?
If you want a face to post on your behalf, that’s a content creator brief. If you want your brand, products and people filmed well and posted on your own account, that’s reels production, and it’s what this page is about. Many brands do both, and the same shoot day can cover both.

Who you’re hiring
One person, start to finish
I want to be straight about this, because most production-house websites aren’t. YKS Productions is me, Yedukrishna Suresh. There is no office, no account manager and no junior who turns up on the day instead of the person you briefed. I write the treatment, direct, shoot and edit.
When a brief genuinely needs more hands (a gaffer for a big lighting set-up, a sound recordist for interviews, a stylist or a make-up artist), I bring in freelancers for that project only. They report to me, they’re in the quote from the start, and you still deal with one person from first message to final file. If the shoot needs faces, I can cast them through YKS Talents.
What that means for a brand in your city: one conversation instead of a chain of hand-offs, decisions made on set by the person who will edit the footage, and a quote that is one all-in number rather than a rate card with extras.
How it works
From brief to final cut
Brief
Send the brief on WhatsApp or through the quote form: what you are launching, who it is for, where it will run, and the date you need it by.
Treatment & quote
I come back with an approach (look, references, shot list outline) and one all-in number covering shoot, edit and any freelancers the brief needs.
Pre-production
Locations, permissions, casting, props and a call sheet. You approve the plan before anyone is booked, so the shoot day has no surprises.
Shoot
Sony FX3 for video, Sony A7 IV for stills, real lighting and a gimbal. I direct and operate the camera myself, so what we agree is what gets shot.
Edit, grade, deliver
I edit and colour-grade what I shoot, then deliver every cut and aspect ratio you need for web, social and ads, with revisions as agreed in the quote.
FAQ
Questions brands ask first
How many reels do I get from one shoot day?
It depends on the formats and number of set-ups. A simple talking-head plan returns more reels than a multi-location product story. We agree the exact count in the content plan before the quote is final.
Reels shoot kitne ka hota hai?
Price project par depend karta hai: kitne reels, kitni locations, models chahiye ya nahi. Main ek all-in quote deta hoon, koi hidden charges nahi. Quote form bhariye ya WhatsApp kariye.
Do you post the reels or manage our account?
I plan, shoot and edit the reels and deliver them ready to post. Posting stays with your team.
Can reels be used as ads?
Yes. Usage for paid ads is included as agreed in the quote, and I can cut ad versions with stronger hooks and calls to action.
How much does it cost?
Every project is quoted as one all-in number once I know the brief: number of shoot days, locations, cast, and how many cuts you need. There is no public rate card because two “brand films” can be completely different jobs. The fastest route is the 60-second quote form or a WhatsApp message.
Do you own the footage, or do we?
You get full usage rights to the delivered films and photos for your brand, including paid ads, as set out in the quote. If a cast member’s usage needs to be limited (for example to a period or a market), that is agreed up front.
Can you edit footage we already shot?
No. I edit what I shoot, because the edit is planned on set. I’m not an editor-for-hire for other people’s footage.
