KUNALEDITS
The Strategy
1. The Context
Kunal is a college friend and easily one of the best video editors in Lucknow. He already had an amazing Instagram page showcasing his skills, but he wanted to level up. He needed a proper portfolio website to present his work to bigger clients professionally, beyond just an Instagram grid.
We didn't want to just "sell" him a website. We saw a chance to partner up.
2. The Barter Deal
We made a deal that worked for both of us without money changing hands.
Our Move: We handled the tech. We designed and deployed a full portfolio website for him, giving him a professional domain to share.
His Move: In return, he edits 3 videos for our internal projects.
It’s a win-win. We gave him the platform; he gives us his skills.
3. The Collaboration: IIT BHU (Kashiyatra 2025)
This partnership went into action during IIT BHU’s Kashiyatra 2025 event.
The Job: Kunal had to cover the event highlights and deliver reels.
The Team: One person can't shoot and edit everything alone. So, a WaterPlane member tagged along to handle the videography using high-end cameras we sourced from Priyanka Studio (another partner).
The Result: We shot the footage, and Kunal worked his magic on the edit.
4. The Vision
This is how we want to work with freelancers, firm owners, startups, event companies and many more hustlers. We are building a healthy ecosystem where we back each other up.
Now: We are already planning coverage for IIT Guwahati's Alcheringa 2026.
The System: When we get a heavy editing project, Kunal steps in and gets a cut. When he needs tech or production support, we step in.
