Form templates for film & video production

Film and video production runs on forms that go out faster than the schedule allows. These templates cover the ones crews actually send: casting calls, location inquiries, releases, catering and crew logistics, and client briefs.

No two of them collect the same thing. A music video location request turns on a one or two-day window and a specific look — rooftop, warehouse, urban street. A feature casting submission needs reel links, recent credits and availability across a multi-month shoot. Conditional logic lets one form ask both.

Reels usually live as links already, so a short text field does the job there. Headshots, insurance certificates and location stills come in as attachments through a file upload field, and you download or preview them from the submission. Everything collects in one place you can filter, search and export, or send on by webhook the moment it arrives.

What film & video production usually collect

Reel links and credits

Casting submissions carry a reel URL and an attached headshot, recent credits, wardrobe and measurement details, vocal range for voice work, and stunt certifications or SAG-AFTRA status where the role calls for it.

Location access conditions

Property owners and film commissions want crew size, shoot dates, whether filming runs overnight, generator and rigging plans, business-hours or guest-area restrictions, and a link to the production's certificate of insurance.

Call sheet logistics

Catering requests hang off the daily call sheet: call time, crew head count, craft service needs and dietary restrictions. Vehicle, housing and makeup bookings add year and model, weekly rates, and prosthetics count.

Rights and consent

Documentary subject releases record which distribution the person agreed to — theatrical, streaming, broadcast — and whether they get a review before publication. Contract requests pin down raw footage ownership, revision rounds and licensing terms.

How to set one up

  1. 1

    Open the Casting Call Application Form and cut it back to the role you are actually casting — a music video submission needs look, age and one shoot date, where a feature lead needs credits and months of availability.

  2. 2

    Branch on role type with conditional logic: stunt performers see certification and insurance questions, voice roles see microphone setup, extras see hair length and beard status.

  3. 3

    Take the reel as a short text field, where it already sits on Vimeo or a casting profile, and add a file upload field for headshots and certification documents; a terms checkbox records what the performer agreed to when they submitted.

  4. 4

    Publish the call as a link with a QR code for the notice board, or embed it on the production site with two lines of HTML.

  5. 5

    Point a webhook at the channel the casting director watches, then filter and export the shortlist when submissions close — every response stays searchable in one place.

Frequently asked questions

Can performers submit a showreel or headshot through the form?

Both, and most calls want one of each. A file upload field takes the headshot, which you download or preview from the submission. Reels are easier as links, since they already sit on Vimeo, YouTube or a casting profile, so a short text field next to the upload covers them — one click from the response opens the reel.

Can one casting call cover several roles?

Yes. Ask for the role first, then let conditional logic decide the rest: a stunt role opens certification and SAG-AFTRA questions, a period drama extra gets asked about natural hair length and beard status, a child role routes to guardian contact details. Everyone sees one short form.

How do location owners and film commissions handle filming requests?

With a standing inquiry form on the property or commission page. It captures shoot dates, crew size, overnight requirements, generator and rigging plans, and any restriction on business hours or guest areas — before anyone spends a call on it. Requests arrive in one list you can sort by date.

Is an online form enough for a documentary subject release?

It records consent clearly — which distribution the subject agreed to, whether they want a review before publication, and a typed agreement to your terms via checkbox. It is not an e-signature product, so where a countersigned release is required, the form gathers the details and the subject attaches the signed copy through a file upload field. Release forms can run end-to-end encrypted, hosted in the EU and GDPR compliant.

Can I take a deposit for a picture vehicle or crew housing booking?

Yes. Add products and priced options to the form, then collect payment through secure hosted checkout with Stripe, PayPal, or Square. Payment status is tracked alongside the response.
