Client Intake Form Insights

Please remove this client intake form insights section before publishing.


Below is a detailed breakdown of the Client Intake Form, explaining the purpose of each section, why it’s important, and how it helps streamline the client onboarding process.

1. Project Overview

Purpose:

  • Understand the primary goal of the drone footage (marketing, documentation, inspection, etc.).
  • Determine urgency (deadlines) and distribution channels (website, social media, TV, etc.).

Key Insights:

  • Marketing vs. Technical Use: A real estate agent needs cinematic shots, while a construction firm may need topographic mapping.
  • Deadlines: Helps prioritize scheduling (rush jobs may incur extra fees).
  • Usage Platforms: Social media may require shorter, vertical clips, whereas TV ads need high-resolution formats.

2. Services & Customization

Purpose:

  • Identify exactly what services the client needs (aerial shots, editing, thermal imaging, etc.).
  • Clarify deliverables (resolution, edited vs. raw footage, multiple versions).

Key Insights:

  • Avoid Scope Creep: By listing services, you prevent misunderstandings (e.g., if editing is extra).
  • Technical Requirements:
    4K vs. 1080p (affects equipment & pricing).
    RAW footage requests mean larger file handling.
  • Value-Add Services: Upsell opportunities (motion graphics, voiceovers).

3. Location & Logistics

Purpose:

  • Assess shoot feasibility (legal restrictions, weather dependencies).
  • Plan optimal timing (golden hour, multiple shoot days).

Key Insights:

  • Permits & Restrictions:
    Flying near airports? Need FAA clearance.
    Private property? Requires owner permission.
  • Weather Impact: Wind/rain can delay shoots; clients must understand rescheduling policies.
  • Time of Day: Golden hour (sunrise/sunset) is ideal for cinematic shots but may cost extra.

4. Creative Direction & Expectations

Purpose:

  • Gauge the client’s vision (cinematic, corporate, fast-paced).
  • Avoid revisions by aligning style upfront.

Key Insights:

  • Reference Videos: Critical for understanding desired angles, transitions, and pacing.
  • People/Vehicles in Shots: May require talent releases or extra coordination.
  • Color Grading Preferences: Warm tones for real estate vs. moody for industrial projects.

5. Budget & Timeline

Purpose:

  • Filter serious clients vs. unrealistic budgets.
  • Set clear expectations on deliverables vs. cost.

Key Insights:

  • Budget Tiers:
    Under $500 = Basic shoot (short clips, minimal editing).
    $1,500+ = Full production (multiple locations, professional editing).
  • Multiple Shoot Days: Indicates larger projects (e.g., event coverage).
  • Post-Production Timelines: Rushed edits may incur fees.

6. Additional Notes

Purpose:

  • Catch unique requests not covered in standard options.
  • Build rapport by showing attentiveness.

Key Insights:

  • Clients may mention:
    "Need footage of our CEO walking into the building."
    "Must include our logo in the corner."
    "We have a drone but need a professional pilot."

Why This Form Works

  1. Reduces Back-and-Forth: Clients provide all details upfront.
  2. Sets Professional Tone: Shows you’re thorough and systematic.
  3. Prevents Disputes: Clear documentation of expectations.
  4. Upsell Opportunities: Highlights add-ons (editing, thermal imaging).
  5. Filters Unqualified Leads: If a client balks at budget questions early, they may not be serious.

Pro Tip:

  • For high-budget clients, schedule a consultation call after they submit the form to discuss creative direction in depth.
