From Kitchen to Screen: Helping CookinHack Shine

CookinHack, a passion project by Manju Sehgal, is a YouTube channel dedicated to sharing simple and delicious recipes. As a non-tech-savvy creator, Manju needed support to transform her raw cooking videos into polished reels and YouTube shorts for her audience.

She approached GroKite with a vision to make her recipes shine on social media but faced challenges in handling the technical aspects of shooting and editing.

Challenges Faced by CookinHack

  • Non-Technical Background: Manju found it difficult to manage a DSLR or advanced filming equipment.

  • Convenience in Shooting: She needed a solution that was easy to use and accessible in her home kitchen.

  • Editing Expertise: She wanted her cooking videos to stand out in the competitive food niche.

The GroKite Approach

We designed a straightforward yet impactful strategy to meet Manju’s needs:

1. Shooting Simplified:

  • Instead of complicated equipment, we recommended a phone holder attached above her gas stove.

  • This setup allowed her to record hands-free, high-quality videos directly from her phone.

2. Streamlined Video Sharing:

  • To make sharing raw footage effortless, we created a WhatsApp group exclusively for her.

  • She sends her videos in document format to maintain the original quality.

3. Niche-Focused Editing:

  • We studied popular cooking accounts to analyze their styles and trends.

  • Using these insights, we developed a unique editing style for CookinHack to ensure her content stood out.
