Live action video production company for corporate films, brand films and ads

Live action video production is making a film with a camera: real people, real places and real products, rather than animation or AI-generated footage. It covers corporate films, brand films, ad films, product videos, testimonials, documentaries and training films. A production runs in three stages: pre-production (script, plan, cast, locations), the shoot, and post-production (edit, grade, sound, graphics).

A live action video production company takes a film from brief to finished file. It writes the script, plans the shoot, casts people, scouts locations, brings the crew and equipment, directs the shoot, and edits, grades and mixes the film. WowMakers is a live action video production company and design studio in Kochi, India, working since 2011, so the same team can also handle the brand, motion graphics and the website the film lives on.

Ask four things. First, can they show finished films like yours, and tell you who directed them? Second, who writes the script and who is on set? Third, what is in the quote: shoot days, crew, locations, edit rounds, music and versions? Fourth, how do they handle travel and permissions outside their city? A company that names its leads and publishes price ranges is easier to compare. Ours are on this page.

Most of our live action projects fall between ₹5 lakh and ₹50 lakh. A single-location interview or testimonial film starts at about ₹5 lakh. A scripted 60-second brand, product or ad film costs ₹5 lakh to ₹15 lakh (about $6,000 to $18,000). A multi-location brand film or documentary with aerial shots and motion graphics sits at the upper end. Shoot days, locations, cast, crew size and post-production move the number, so we give one fixed quote before work starts.

Usually 4 to 8 weeks from brief to delivery. Script and planning take 1 to 2 weeks, the shoot 1 to 3 days, and editing, grading, sound and graphics 2 to 4 weeks. Review time on your side is often the longest part. Shorter timelines are possible for simple interview films.

Corporate films and company profiles, brand films and brand documentaries, ad films and marketing videos, product videos and demos, testimonial and interview films, documentary and destination films, training and skill films, and live action combined with motion graphics. Many projects combine formats: a brand film can carry customer interviews and product footage.

Across India, and abroad. Our studio is in Kochi, Kerala, and our crew travels to any state. The films on this page were shot in Kerala, Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh and Assam, from Periyar to Kabini, Hampi, Hamirpur and Guwahati. For a shoot outside Kerala we plan travel, locations, permissions and local support with you, and include them in the quote.

Yes. Since 2011 we have worked with clients in the US, the UK, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Singapore and Australia, as well as across India. For a shoot outside India our crew travels to you, and the Gulf (GCC) countries are a direct flight from Kochi. We scope travel, visas, permits and any local crew with you before we quote.

Choose live action when the story rests on real people, places or products, or when trust matters most, as in testimonials and company films. Choose animation for abstract ideas, processes and software. Choose AI video for scenes a camera cannot reach or for many versions of one idea. Many films mix them. A 60-second live action film costs $6,000 to $18,000, a 2D animated one $4,500 to $9,000, and an AI-led one from about $5,100.

Yes. The INROAD corporate film for ATMA mixes plantation footage with animated maps and figures, and product films often mix live action with screen recordings. We plan the graphics with the script, so the shoot leaves room for them.

Yes. For INROAD we filmed five training chapters and delivered each in Assamese, Bengali, Hindi and Malayalam, and the corporate film in English and Hindi. We handle scripts, voice-over and subtitles for each language and keep the pictures the same across versions.

Yes, where the location allows it. The Hamirpur, Kamalapura Palace and CUMI films on this page use aerial shots. Many areas in India need permission to fly a drone, so we check the rules for your location during planning.

You own the final film. You receive the master file, the cut-downs for each platform and subtitled versions. Raw footage is not part of the standard delivery; if you need it, tell us and we include it in the scope and the quote. Licensed music and stock keep their own licence terms, which we pass on with the files. We show a film in our portfolio only with your approval.

We agree the number of review rounds in the quote, before work starts. You approve the script and the shoot plan before the shoot, so most changes happen at the cheapest stage. Changes that need a new shoot day are quoted separately.

A short brief: what the film is for, who will watch it, where it will run, your timeline and budget range, and any brand guidelines or footage you already have. We turn that into a script idea, a shoot plan and one fixed quote.

A film without a brand point of view looks good and sounds like nobody in particular. We start from the brand's positioning and audience, so the script, the casting, the pace of the edit, the music and the colour all come from the same decisions. When the same studio also handles your brand and website, the film matches everything else people see.
