● HOW A PROJECT ACTUALLY RUNS

Four stages, timed to when applicants decide.

No black box. Here's exactly what happens between your first call and a Reel going live - what we need from you at each stage, and what you get back.

4
Stages, start to finish, repeated every cycle
1
Shoot day usually covers a full batch of Reels
3
Founders across strategy, shoot and edit - no handoffs
THE FOUR STAGES

What happens, and in what order.

Each stage ends with something concrete in your hands before the next one starts - nothing gets filmed on a guess, and nothing gets posted without a review.

01

Pre-season audit

BEFORE ANY SCRIPTING

We start by reviewing what already exists - last cycle's content, what got watched, what didn't, and where applicants actually came from. This is what the next batch of scripts gets built on.

You provide

  • Access to past content and basic performance numbers
  • Your intake dates and key decision windows
  • Any formats that have already worked or flopped

You get back

  • A short audit of what to keep, drop, or test
  • A content calendar mapped to your intake timeline
02

Script batch drop

WRITTEN BEFORE ANYTHING IS FILMED

A batch of Hinglish hooks and full scripts comes to you for approval. Nothing gets shot until you've signed off on the words - this is the cheapest place to change direction.

You provide

  • Sign-off, edits, or a redirect on the script batch
  • Any facts, offers or dates that must be accurate

You get back

  • A written batch of scripts and hooks, ready to shoot
  • A shot list and shoot-day plan built from it
03

Peak-season shoot sprint

ONE COORDINATED DAY ON CAMPUS

A single shoot day is planned to cover the full approved batch, so your team, students and faculty aren't pulled aside repeatedly through the season.

You provide

  • Access to campus, students or staff appearing on camera
  • A point of contact for the day

You get back

  • Raw footage for the whole batch in a single day
  • Nothing left half-shot going into edit
04

Edit, post & results review

RUNS THROUGH THE SEASON

Edits go out on a set cadence through peak season. After each drop, we review what actually moved applications and fold it straight into the next cycle's audit.

You provide

  • Posting access, or a handoff for your team to publish
  • A quick check-in after each drop

You get back

  • Edited, captioned Reels on schedule
  • A short performance review after each batch
A TYPICAL CYCLE

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROCESS

What people usually ask before starting.

What if we need to reschedule the shoot day?

Tell us as early as you can. Because scripts are approved before we shoot, moving the date doesn't mean starting over - we just shift the shoot-day plan.

Do scripts have to be Hinglish, or can they be pure Hindi or English?

Hinglish is our default because it's how most applicants actually talk, but we script in whichever language fits your audience - that's part of the pre-season audit conversation.

Who has to be on camera from our side?

Depends on the format - some batches lean on students and alumni, others need faculty or staff. We flag exactly who's needed when we send the shot list.

Can we post the Reels ourselves instead of you posting them?

Yes. Some clients want us handling posting and cadence end-to-end, others just want edited files handed off. We work either way - it's set during the audit stage.

What happens after the first cycle ends?

The results review from stage four becomes the input for the next cycle's audit, so each admissions season starts a little sharper than the last.

The first call is where the pre-season audit actually starts.
