VIDEO PRODUCTION PROPOSAL
The project runs across three phases. Each closes with a written deliverable and a review before the next begins.
PHASE 1 · PRE-PRODUCTION
Creative brief review, concept development, script or interview outline, shot list and storyboard, location scouting, casting notes if applicable, and a production schedule signed off before we roll.
PHASE 2 · PRODUCTION
Full production crew on location for the agreed shoot days, including director, camera, sound, and lighting. On-set review of key shots so we leave with everything the edit needs.
PHASE 3 · POST-PRODUCTION
Assembly edit, two rounds of revisions, color grade, sound mix, motion graphics and captions, and final delivery of the master and social cuts in all required aspect ratios and formats.
Not included: talent and presenter fees, licensed music and stock footage, location and permit fees, extended usage or broadcast rights beyond agreed channels, and translation or foreign-language versioning. New scope can be added in writing at any time.

The Video Production Proposal template is a five-page document for putting your engagement on paper before it starts. It carries an overview with stat cards, objectives, a three-phase scope of work, an investment table with a computed total, and an acceptance page with inputs and signatures.
It is intentionally simple: rename what needs renaming in Bonsai, list your actual deliverables, and set the price. Merge fields handle the client details and date, and the last page collects a PO number, start date, and both signatures.
Everything below comes pre-configured. Turn sections on or off, edit the copy, or add your own — Bonsai remembers your choices for next time.
Can I edit every section? Yes — every heading, paragraph, stat, table row, and signature block is fully editable in Bonsai.
Can I add more pages? Yes — add, reorder, or duplicate pages once the template is open.
Do merge fields auto-fill? Yes — Sender, Receiver, and Date pull from your client contact and the current date automatically.
