How to plan a successful video production

    Most failed video projects fail in planning, not on set.

    Use this 7-step checklist before you contact a production company.

    1. Define the goal

    One sentence: what should the viewer think, feel, or do?

    2. Define the audience

    Specific persona, channel, language, viewing context.

    3. Set a budget range

    Even a rough range helps the production company propose the right scope.

    4. Write a brief

    One page: goal, audience, message, channel, deliverables, deadline, budget.

    5. Choose a partner

    Compare reels, references, process, and pricing — not just price.

    6. Lock the timeline

    Decision dates and approval owners must be agreed up front.

    7. Plan distribution before shooting

    Know where the video will live and design cutdowns into the shoot.
