Video Request Form
A Slack message asking for "a quick video for the launch" isn't a creative brief your video team can actually start from. Collect the project purpose, deadline, and deliverable specs before the request lands in a queue, so your team isn't reworking a video built on assumptions the requester never actually stated.
A video request usually starts as a quick message, in Slack, over email, in passing in a hallway, with none of the detail a video team needs to actually scope the work. The team ends up chasing the requester for a deadline, a platform, a sense of who the video's actually for, and starts production before all of that's nailed down. Halfway through, it turns out the video needed to be square for Instagram instead of full-length for a webinar, and the rework eats the time a clear brief would have saved.
Typeform's video request form asks for what a video team needs before a project starts: the requester and department, the project's purpose and description, the deadline, and the platform or format it's for. Conditional logic branches from there. A request for social content can route to platform-specific questions, aspect ratio, length limits, while a request for a full-length webinar or training video can route to a different set of specs entirely. A request with a deadline inside a rush window can route to a priority justification question instead of joining the standard queue. Every request lands in one complete brief instead of a Slack thread the team has to piece together.
Connect the form to your project management software through Zapier, and a new request can create a project card in your team's workflow automatically instead of someone transcribing it by hand. Ask for it through the form, and your video team starts every project with a real brief instead of a one-line message and a follow-up meeting to fill in the gaps.
A video request form is an online form teams use to submit a request for a video project to a creative or marketing team, capturing the purpose, deadline, format, and audience upfront. Instead of a message that needs follow-up questions, the video team gets a complete brief from the start.
A quick message rarely includes what a video team actually needs to scope the work, deadline, platform, audience, existing assets. A form collects that information from the outset, so a project can be scoped and scheduled instead of clarified after work has already started.
Ask for what your video team will actually need to start the project:
- Requester name and department
- Project purpose and description
- Deadline
- Platform or format, like social media, a presentation, or an ad
- Target audience
- Existing footage or assets to include
Not necessarily. Submitting a request doesn't by itself guarantee a timeline, since production capacity and competing priorities still determine scheduling. It's worth confirming realistic turnaround directly with your video team rather than assuming a deadline based on when the request was submitted.
Yes. Add a file upload question and requesters can attach existing footage, brand assets, or reference examples in the same submission, no separate email required. Pair it with conditional logic so the upload only appears when it's relevant to the type of project being requested.
