Quickly Shot: Short, sharp videos you can watch in minutes
Quickly Shot is our label for short videos and fast takes that get straight to the point. These pieces are made to inform or spark a thought without asking for a big time commitment. Want a quick opinion on Indian food, a fast breakdown of TV trends, or a snapshot of daily life in India? That’s what you’ll find here.
What you'll find under "quickly shot"
Expect single-idea clips that finish in a few minutes. Examples from our posts: quick praise for Indian food, short rants about new network TV shows, a brief comparison of movie vs TV production costs, and short reports on living in India or abroad. Each clip focuses on one clear point — no long background, no extra fluff. Watch "What is so good about Indian food?" for a lively take on flavors or "Are all new network TV shows terrible?" for a fast critique you can decide on in under three minutes.
If you’re scrolling and only have two minutes, these videos help you learn one thing fast. If you want more after a quick clip, the full-length documentaries and articles are easy to find from the same page.
How to watch and how to use these clips
Scan titles and short descriptions to pick exactly what you need. Use these clips as primers: watch a quick piece before starting a longer documentary, or send a short take to a friend to kick off a conversation. Turn on captions if you’re watching without sound. If a clip mentions a topic you care about — say, daily life in India or home audio — click the tag and you’ll see related short clips and longer stories in the same thread.
Creators, here are fast tips for shooting good quickly shot clips: know your single idea, open with it, and stick to three short points. Use natural light, keep the camera steady, and prioritize clear audio over fancy visuals. Record a bit of B-roll for context; tight editing makes a huge difference. Aim for 60–180 seconds, add captions, and write a clear title with the main keyword first.
Speed doesn’t mean sloppy. A quick shot still needs a clear voice and one solid takeaway. On this tag we mix opinion, how-tos, and on-the-ground snapshots so you always get a useful nugget. Browse the tag when you need something fast — a quick recipe idea, a TV opinion, or a short life report — and come back when you want the longer version.

I recently came across an interesting fact about a TV series that was shot incredibly quickly. It turns out that the sitcom "South of Sunset" holds the record for being filmed at a rapid pace. The show, starring Glenn Frey, only aired for one episode before being cancelled, but the production team managed to shoot all six episodes in just two weeks! This is a testament to the efficiency of the cast and crew and shows how quickly a TV series can be produced when everyone is on the same page. It's a fascinating bit of trivia for any TV enthusiasts out there!
