Video production
Video production for software houses in Islamabad and Rawalpindi
We spend one day a month at your office in I-8, Blue Area or wherever you sit, filming a technical lead walking through a real decision, short interviews with developers about their work, and the office as it is. That becomes a YouTube walkthrough for buyers, a careers film, and a month of clips for LinkedIn and Instagram.
On the Growth package, PKR 35,000 per month. Ad spend, if you run ads, is separate.
Why it fits
Why video production matters for software houses
A foreign client cannot visit your office before signing, and most never will. A well-made video of your engineers explaining their thinking is the closest thing to that visit, and it shortens the trust gap that makes Pakistani vendors cheaper than they should be. The same footage solves recruitment: developers choosing between houses want to see the people and the floor, not a stock photo. Most software houses have neither, because nobody on payroll has time to film between sprints.
The work
What we run for software houses
- Plan each month's shoot around one engineering topic and one hiring topic, agreed with the technical lead in advance.
- Film a technical lead walking through an NDA-safe architecture or delivery decision at a whiteboard or screen.
- Record short developer interviews about what they work on, how they learned, and what a normal week looks like.
- Capture the office, stand-ups and team events as B-roll for careers content.
- Edit a YouTube walkthrough, a careers clip and several short vertical cuts from each shoot day.

Careers film questions
What did you build in your first three months here? Who helped when you were stuck? What surprised you about working at a software house in Islamabad?
What kind of videos should a software house make?
Make videos that show how your team thinks: an engineer explaining a real decision, a walkthrough of how a project is run, and honest interviews about working there. Overseas buyers and Islamabad developers both want proof of competence and culture, and polished brand films without substance rarely provide it.
Can a software house make videos without breaking client NDAs?
Yes. Talk about problem types, constraints and decisions rather than clients or products, and use diagrams instead of screen recordings of client systems. A lead explaining how the team handled a payment integration in general terms shows skill without revealing anything a contract protects.
Pitfalls
Common mistakes with video production
- Filming only the office and the games room, which tells buyers nothing about how you engineer.
- Scripting developers word for word, so they read lines stiffly instead of explaining work they actually understand.

Questions about video production for software houses
These are the questions we get on WhatsApp every week, answered the way we would answer them there.
WhatsApp usDo our developers have to be on camera?
Only those who are willing. Most teams have two or three people who enjoy explaining their work. We run short, relaxed interviews rather than scripted performances, and anyone can ask for their footage to be cut.
Which package covers a monthly shoot?
Video production sits under the Growth package. A monthly shoot day plus editing fits there; extra days for events, office openings or product launches are agreed separately.
