Design and creative production: Enquiry form for animation studios
An enquiry form for animation studios that asks for script, desired length, audience, channel and deadline, so a production can be assessed and budgeted straight away.
What makes an enquiry complete for animation studios.
An enquiry to an animation studio often starts with something like we'd like a fun animation about our product. Whether there's a script, how long the film should be, which channel and audience it's for, all stays open. Yet those are exactly the details that decide whether it becomes a production of a handful of scenes or dozens, and whether a voice-over in several languages is needed. For animation studios, a vague enquiry means a long introductory call in which it only turns out that the deadline is three weeks away, or that the budget fits a very different style. Meanwhile the animators' time keeps running.

From form to assessed enquiry.
Pin down purpose and channel
The form opens by asking what the film is for: explaining a product, a campaign, internal training or social media. Then come the channel and the format, such as landscape for a website or vertical for short clips. Those choices decide which follow-up questions appear and which styles are realistic for the request.
Ask about script, length and audience
The person enquiring says whether there's a script, a rough text or only an idea, and can upload a file. Next come the desired length, audience, language and whether a voice-over or subtitles are needed. If several language versions are wanted, the form asks how many and whether the visuals need to differ too.
Check deadline and conditions
Finally the form asks for the deadline, who signs off on the client side and whether there's a house style or style guide. The enquiry arrives as a single overview. If the requested length is clearly tight for the deadline, that gets a visible flag for whoever reviews the enquiry.
Enquiries in one place, not the inbox.
Enquiries currently come in by email, a contact form or a message on a social network. The new form sends them to the same inbox or to the project system where you track running productions. Scripts and style guides the client uploads are kept with the enquiry and move into the project folder once the job goes ahead. Those files remain the client's property; you only use them for this production.
Require a script or offer help
Requiring a script makes an enquiry concrete immediately, but shuts out clients who are looking for help with the story itself. Offering scriptwriting as a separate service, with its own route in the form, gives that group a way in. It also stops a rough text from quietly being treated as the final script.
Ask about budget or not
Asking about budget helps you suggest a suitable style, but many people don't know or would rather not say. A choice of ranges, or a question about what matters most, such as speed, look or length, often produces more useful information than an open field for an amount.
Schedule straight away or talk first
A simple request, such as a short animation in an existing style for a regular client, can go straight to scheduling. A new client with a complex film needs a conversation first. Based on the answers, the form can suggest which route fits, so you don't treat every enquiry the same way.

The enquiry form is ready with questions on goal, channel, format, script, length, audience, language, deadline and approvers, plus uploading a script and style guide. Together we try an ordinary enquiry for an explainer video and a tricky one: a client with only a rough text, four language versions and a deadline that is tight for that length. Passing a reviewed enquiry on to the quote, with the answers already filled in, is something you switch on once the form runs well.
View pricingHosting and careGood to know.
Explore pricing and optionsCan clients send examples of films they like?
Yes, through a field for links or uploads. Do ask what they like about them: the colours, the pacing, the character style. A link without any explanation often leads to a misunderstanding about what they actually mean, and that usually only surfaces once work has started.
What about enquiries that don't really need animation?
Some requests are better served by filmed video or a simple slide presentation. The form can't decide that, but whoever reviews it can quickly tell from the purpose and budget whether animation is the right choice. Honest advice on that builds trust, even when no job comes out of it.
What if the client has several people signing off?
The form asks who approves and whether one person has the final say. Several approvers without a final decision maker is a well-known cause of extra revision rounds. You want to know that before you put a schedule and a number of revisions in the quote.
Does the form work for repeat work from existing clients?
Yes. An existing client can take a shorter route where style, house style and approvers are already known. The form then only asks for the new script, the length and the deadline. That saves the client time and saves you a call that wasn't needed.
