Motion. Video production company in Calicut, Kerala

Marketlube is a video production company in Calicut, Kerala, making ad films, reels, product shoots and brand films for businesses across India and the GCC. Scripting, shooting, editing, motion graphics and sound are handled by one team, and every edit is cut for the platform it will run on.

Beautiful video that nobody watches past the second second is an expensive screensaver.

Most brand films are made for the launch event, then chopped into ads that were never designed to work in a feed.

We plan video backwards from where it will run. A reel needs a hook in the first three seconds and has to make sense on mute; a YouTube pre-roll has to land before the skip button; a product shoot has to sell texture and scale on a phone screen. Scripts, storyboards and shot lists are written with that in mind before a camera comes out.

From our base in Calicut we shoot studio product work, locations, events and festivals across Kerala, and deliver every project in vertical, square and wide cuts. When a product is better rendered than shot, we make 3D product films too, like the three chair films we made for Bosq. As ad film makers for Kerala and Gulf brands, we also edit with the performance data: when a hook wins, we cut more versions of it.

How much does video production cost in Kerala?

Monthly reel batches typically work out at ₹8,000–₹25,000 per finished reel. Product shoots start around ₹30,000 a day. Ad films usually range from ₹1.5 lakh to ₹6 lakh depending on cast, locations and post-production; Gulf productions are quoted per project in AED.

Are you ad film makers or a reels agency?

Both, and the same team does both on purpose: ad films sharpen the craft, reels teach us what holds attention. Most Kerala brands need a hero film a year and a steady stream of reels, cut from the same shoots where possible.

Can you shoot in our factory, store or in Dubai?

We shoot on location in factories, showrooms, restaurants and resorts across Kerala, and in studio for tabletop product work. Dubai and GCC brands can ship products to Calicut for studio shoots; on-location Gulf shoots are scoped per project.

How long does a video take?

Reel batches usually go from shoot to first cuts within a few days. An ad film typically takes 3–5 weeks from brief to final delivery, most of it in pre-production, which is where good films are really made.

Who owns the footage?

You own the final videos outright. Raw footage is archived and available on request, and talent and music rights are cleared for the platforms and duration agreed in the brief.

Do you add Malayalam or English subtitles?

Yes. We subtitle and version edits in English and Malayalam, and design captions to be legible on a phone with the sound off. That's how most social video is watched.
