Introduction
Scope of Work
The Sustainable Energy Hub (SEH) is seeking a professional video production company to develop a series of short short-form explainer videos. These videos will support UNDP’s communications and capacity development objectives, focusing on sustainable energy and the just energy transition. There will be 8 videos in total, each between 2 to 3 minutes in length.
The specific scope of work includes:
· Script Refinement: Collaborate with the SEH team to refine and finalize draft scripts for the 8 videos. Scripts must be clear, concise, and timed to fit within the 2 to 3 minute duration.
· Studio Recording of Two Speakers: Organize and conduct two high-quality studio filming sessions — one per speaker. Ensure visual consistency (e.g., framing, lighting, and background) or intentionally distinct styles where appropriate, with professional audio capture.
· Motion Graphics and Visual Integration: Design and animate motion graphics aligned with the content and UNDP branding guidelines. This may include animated data visualizations, icons, kinetic text, and transitions. The style should be consistent across the series while tailored to each video’s content.
· Video Editing and Audio Production: Edit video and audio from both speaker recordings, integrate motion graphics and stock videos, apply color correction, and master audio. Add background music and ensure clear synchronization and pacing.
· Subtitles and Accessibility: Provide English subtitles (both embedded and as separate SRT files). Ensure all videos meet accessibility standards and are optimized for mobile and web playback. Prepare localized versions of the videos by adding translated subtitles and, where requested, professional voice-overs in other UN languages. This includes adjusting on-screen text and motion graphics if necessary to accommodate translations while preserving design integrity.
· Final Delivery: Deliver master versions in high-resolution MP4 format (1080p) and alternate formats for web and social media. Provide all working files and raw footage.
