About Video and Animation Needs:
USAID Takamol anticipates developing 7-14 videos that are approximately 5 minutes each in length. In general, there will be three types of videos:
· Videos with minimal editing. Videos developed by filming at a single location and preparing a summary video. For example, a single person may be filmed speaking into the camera for instructional purposes, with minimal b-roll footage to be added.
· Videos with storyboarding support and editing. Videos that require developing a storyboard with the USAID Takamol team, filming in multiple locations, recording a voice over, and including b-roll footage and music. These videos will include scriptwriting and development of key messages. The Contractor will work closely with USAID Takamol on developing the creative content and messaging, and USAID Takamol will provide the needed information (content, messages). USAID Takamol will approve the creative concept and storyboard for each film before production. **

The estimated timeframe for developing all types of videos is between August 2020 and March 2021.

The exact number of videos will be determined based on USAID Takamol’s needs. Issuance of a contract does not commit USAID Takamol to developing a minimum number of videos, and additional work under the contract is contingent upon the selected vendor’s performance.
