Interview-video participant, production and review-handoff workbook
Interview-video proposals are easier to compare when each provider receives the same non-sensitive brief for audience, participant roles, subject boundaries, location and sound context, capture approach, edit structure, review ownership, captions or transcript requests and intended delivery. This helpful preparation resource from PickYourPro.ai keeps creative, production, permission and legal decisions with responsible people and qualified professionals.

Preparation and proposal comparison only, not interviewing, journalism, coaching, advertising, endorsement, accessibility, employment, copyright, privacy, publicity-rights, release, contract or legal advice. The responsible organization, participants, provider and qualified advisers must confirm permissions, statements, disclosures, usage, review and current requirements.

How to use this resource
Use neutral labels such as Participant A, Location A and Reviewer A. Record roles, objectives and open questions—not private contact details, unreleased statements, access codes, health information or confidential business facts. Give every provider the same brief and ask them to document the production approach, responsibilities, assumptions, exclusions, review rounds, deliverables and handoff.
Open the PDF in a form-capable viewer, save a copy, then fill it in. Reopen your saved copy to check your answers. You can also print the blank pages and write by hand. Your answers are not submitted to PickYourPro.ai.
DEFINE CAPTURE AND PRODUCTION
Ask the provider to document the production approach and dependencies without treating this sheet as creative or legal approval.
CHECK PROPOSAL READINESS
Tick what is organized. These checks do not approve statements, permissions, disclosures or intended use.
QUESTIONS FOR THE INTERVIEW-VIDEO PROVIDER
Record the answer and where it appears in the proposal or supporting documents.
COMPARE THE SAME INTERVIEW BRIEF

Questions for the interview-video provider
- How will you turn the audience, objective and subject boundaries into a production plan?
- What participant preparation is included, and who owns questions, fact review and approvals?
- What location, sound, lighting, camera or remote-capture review do you propose?
- What edit structure, supporting footage, graphics, captions and transcript outputs are included?
- How will review rounds, consolidated feedback and final approval be handled?
- What files, versions, delivery details and future-use handoffs will be documented?
Write down the answers and any exclusions. If two proposals describe different work, clarify the difference before comparing their totals. Leave unanswered points blank until the professional confirms them.

Create an account on PickYourPro.ai only if you choose, then start a Videographer request. Share a non-sensitive interview-video brief so participating pros can compete with proposals. Compare participant preparation, production approach, responsibilities, edit structure, review workflow, deliverables, exclusions and fit. A private participant, location, intended-use and responsible-review discussion may be needed before a final proposal.
