Do vendors provide the agency with a pre-pro book prior to the shoot if it’s a simple drop kit, taking head?

Not sure if there’s a need for it since it’s not a complicated shoot (single cam, direct shot to talent answering questions) but wanted to get a sense. Client wants a meeting the day before the shoot to talk about the production (which we have done a few times already), so not sure if it makes sense to have a formal PPB for this meeting. Thoughts?

I’d still recommend something that everyone can point to for final green light so there are no last minute surprises or misunderstandings... even a Run of Show and a quick huddle meeting.

Protect yourself with a pre pro book, no matter how simple. Have director draw one frame even if it’s locked off but ppm book puts in writing the agreed upon creative and the directors depiction of the concept. It saves our asses if clients come back and claim the shoot wasn’t what they agreed to produce.

like

Agreed. It makes expectations very clear and protects you in the long run.

like

There isn’t a small production. Small book is perfect anyways to have what was agreed and how.

Thanks all! All great points. Honestly everyone was kind of on the fence about having one, but it makes total sense to have some document that plainly states what was agreed to in past convos. Even if it’s a simple one-pager.

like

Always! To make sure everyone is aligned, everyone can sign off and there's no confusion or fingerpointing later on during the shoot.

If it’s simple.. why not just do it and make client happy. That’s the name of the game anyway- right?

you may also consider creating it yourself. agree with the other comments that it is important to have documentation on what is planned and agreed to

Why if you are on H1B is so much problematic for vendors looking for contractors ?
