When to use it.
Video Production Proposal is a 20-page template for pitching a brand film and its social cutdowns. It takes the client from the creative concept and director's treatment through twelve drawn storyboard frames, a production schedule, crew and kit, locations and a full deliverables list, then usage rights, an itemised two-page budget, three priced packages with payment terms, and signature lines. Black pages, condensed display type and letterboxed stills make it read like a film before a frame is shot.
