I have to say a big thanks to Fifty Squid for their excellent interpretation of the brief I gave them. Ben was so approachable and listened to my companies needs and put together a great video. I will be back for more.

Free · Online Brief Builder
You know you need a video.
Briefing it is the hard part.
The brief builder walks you through the same questions we'd ask on a kick-off call: what it's for, who it's for, and the one thing it has to land. Answer what you can; we can work from as little as a list of key points.
- Saves as you type, so you can stop halfway and come back whenever
- Twenty-five questions, and only five that really matter
- Ends with a document any production company could work from
- Free, no card, and no password to remember

The Team at Fifty Squid are absolutely fantastic, they totally 'get' the brief from the off, communicate their ideas clearly and in a friendly manner and turn around great content in a short time frame. Can't recommend enough.

Emma Anderson
★★★★★
We used Squideo recently to develop an animation video on what research involves in our NHS Trust. This was the first time our team had been involved in a project like this. Squideo guided us through the process at each stage, letting us know what to expect - everything was clear and transparent. Squideo were great in addressing any feedback (which was a long process as we co-produced the video with support from a network of carers, staff and patients). It was a massive bonus to have unlimited revisions to the draft video. Pricing was very good value for money. The end result was great - the team really brought our ideas to life, they were professional but friendly, and responsive throughout. We have since recommended Squideo to other departments looking to develop videos; and would definitely approach them for future projects.

Outstanding experience with a talented team, they were able to realize our vision and more.
Christopher Robin
★★★★★
We requested 2 very short videos for ad campaigns and it went through two phases. The first draft and second draft. By the second draft, the videos were pretty much complete and ready for use online. I've recently placed an order for a longer format video to explain a corporate service. I wouldn't have placed that order if the first 2 short videos weren't up to such a high standard. Price : great Quality: great Comms: good Time frame: exceptional Results: Very slick, professional and to brief
