My process has six steps: you send a brief, I reply with questions and a fixed quote, we agree and you send materials, I deliver a first draft, we go through the agreed feedback rounds, and you receive files that are ready to post. You work with me directly the whole time.
The six steps
- Send your brief. Use the contact form, WhatsApp, email, Upwork, Fiverr or Contra. Include your goal, audience, length and format, material, reference videos, and your deadline and budget.
- Get questions, ideas and a clear quote. I read your message and reply with questions or ideas. You then get a fixed price and a timeline before any work starts.
- Approve and send materials. Once we agree, you send footage, script, screen recordings and brand files in one shared folder. If you do not have a script yet, I can help shape one.
- Review the first draft. I send a first draft so you can steer early and tell me what to change.
- Give feedback in rounds. Send your feedback as one consolidated list per round. The number of rounds is agreed in the quote.
- Receive files ready to post. You get the final video in the formats you need: vertical, square or wide, and transparent files for logo animation.
What I need from you
- Your goal and who the video is for
- Footage, a script or screen recordings (a draft is fine)
- Logo, brand colors and fonts if you have them
- Two or three reference videos and what you like about them
- One decision maker and a deadline
The full template is in how to brief a video editor, and the file checklist is in what files to send your video editor.
How long it takes
A simple edit can take days. An animated explainer takes a few weeks because of scripting, animation and revisions. I give you dates in the quote. More detail is in how long video editing takes.
How feedback works
One round is one batch of feedback on one version. Consolidated feedback keeps the project fast. Read how to give video feedback and how many revisions a project should include.
How I use AI
I use AI tools such as Higgsfield and Kling for AI video and UGC-style ads, and I label that work clearly as AI. On other projects I only use AI if you are comfortable with it. See is AI video safe for brands.
Communication and time zones
I am in India (IST, UTC+5:30) and work with clients worldwide. We agree on update times and review windows at the start. WhatsApp is the fastest way to reach me.
