05 — About

Hi, I'm Lakshya — but everyone calls me Deku.

I'm a cinematic video editor and motion graphics editor from Jaipur, India. I started as Club Head of Pixellens, the film & photography club of MBM University, Jodhpur — leading a student media team, making short films and music videos, and coordinating the filmmaking teams for the ANANT and TECHKRITI fests.

Today I edit for brands, agencies and creators: AI-generated ad campaigns, healthcare and fintech reels, events, fashion and product films. I'm also an engineer who builds AI agents and n8n automations — so SaaS and AI products don't scare me; I understand what I'm cutting.

I work remotely with a simple, professional setup: clear briefs, review links, fixed deadlines and invoices in your currency.

06 — FAQ

Good questions.

How do payments work for international clients?

I invoice in USD or EUR through Wise, PayPal or Payoneer. New projects start with 50% upfront; retainers are billed monthly in advance.

Do you sign contracts and NDAs?

Yes. Every project has a short written agreement covering scope, timeline, revisions and usage rights. Happy to sign your NDA too.

How fast is turnaround?

First cut within 48 hours for short-form videos. Motion graphics projects usually take 3–7 working days, depending on scope.

What if I'm not happy with the first cut?

Two revision rounds are included. We agree on references before I start, so the first cut is usually close.

What do I need to send you?

Your raw footage, logo and fonts, and 2–3 reference videos you like. A short brief template is sent after our call.

Who owns the final videos?

You do. Once the invoice is paid, you get full usage rights to the final videos for your channels and ads.
