Who It's For

Built for brands who
take content seriously.

Most video projects go sideways before the shoot even starts — vague expectations, missing assets, no agreed-upon deliverables. This template eliminates that entirely.

Mitchell Video Production — Connecticut

This is the exact brief used on
every shoot we run.

Mitchell VP works with product brands, outdoor companies, and manufacturers to build video and photography content systems. This template came out of years of running productions where a bad brief cost everybody time. We refined it shoot by shoot until nothing fell through the cracks.
