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

What our clients say
I was initially very worried, I was reassured the video would turn out how I wanted but I still wasn’t quite sure. However after my 1st draft, and many drafts after that, the team were happy to make so many changes for me. The video turned out amazing Customer service was brilliant would highly recommend Squideo.
Our video was created to a very high standard. They listened to what we wanted and made any changes quickly. Would recommend.
Brilliant team to work with, very pleased with their product and professionalism.
I've worked with Squideo on multiple occasions over the last 3 years, they've created both Videos and Gifs for me, and not once have they even nearly disappointed. Customer experience all the way through to the final product is spot on and their pricing is exceptionally competitive. We will be using their services again for sure!
Excellent company, their contact and output is outstanding!
Great service, highly recommend. They have met my expectations and even much more.
The team at Fifty-Squid did a fab job! I told them what I was after and they produced a fun and engaging explainer video for us. The process was super easy and the communication was great. As a matter of fact, everything turned out so well, we purchased another two videos to be produced! Do yourself a favour....if you need a service like this, Fifty-Squid is the ONLY place you need to look!
Callum at Fifty Squid was a pleasure to work with. He has a great talent for creativity but moreover was flexible, easy to talk to and kept me updated the whole time. I will definitely be using again. Thank you so much. Will be using again
Thank you for your outstanding service and excellent team work. Best wishes for the New Year.
Both of our businesses have used Fifty Squid to produce corporate videos and we could not be happier. The process is quick, simple (and extremely good value for money) and the results were stunning. We could not be happier and look forward to using them again in the very near future.
I have now had 3 videos from these guys and each one is as great as the last. I now have one embedded in my business website as it does a wonderful job of selling my business.
