    How a US or UK Team Runs an India Shoot Without Flying Anyone Out

    Most of the corporate work I shoot for overseas clients happens without anyone from their side in the country. Here is how that actually runs.

01

Flying a crew in is the expensive way to do this

When the shoot is in India, sending your own crew means airfares, oversized baggage, transit damage risk and days of lost time. And once they land, they still do not know the local vendors, the venues or how things actually get done here.

01

One senior contact

You deal with one person who has produced, directed and shot for global agencies. No coordination layer, no telephone game.

02

Local crew and gear

I source trusted crew and equipment through networks built over years of shoots across Indian cities. It usually costs less than flying a single lighting kit over.

03

Your style guide, followed

I have shot to strict global style guides for years. The assets cut together seamlessly with footage from your shoots in other countries.

04

Honest production judgement

I will tell you when a third crew member is unnecessary and when a buffer day protects your shoot. You get the plan I would want if it were my money.

02

One partner, every role you need on the ground

Depending on the project I work as one or several of these. You decide the footprint, I fill the gaps.

How a shoot with me runs

  1. 01

    Brief and scope

    You share the brief, shot list and style guide. I come back with a crew plan, an equipment list and a clear quote. Travel is always itemised at cost, never padded into fees.

  2. 02

    Plan and crew

    I scale the crew to the actual day. A two person team covers most corporate shoots. If the schedule genuinely needs a third pair of hands, I will say so and price it.

  3. 03

    Shoot day

    I arrive the evening before any out of town call time, so a delayed flight can never put your shoot day at risk. On the day I direct, shoot and keep the schedule moving.

  4. 04

    Delivery

    Selects, edits and retouching to your spec, delivered on your timeline. I stay on it until your team signs off.

04

Where I have shot

Based in Bengaluru, I have produced and shot across India and internationally for agencies and direct clients.
