Frequently asked questions

When should a videographer use a client NDA?
Use a client NDA before reviewing confidential project details, creative briefs, brand strategy, unreleased products, budgets, scripts, or other sensitive materials during a pitch or pre-production discussion.
Can this NDA protect storyboards, scripts, and mood boards?
Yes. The NDA should define confidential creative materials to include storyboards, scripts, treatments, mood boards, production plans, footage, brand guidelines, and related files or discussions.
Does signing this NDA require the client to hire or pay the videographer?
No. The NDA can clarify that it protects confidential information only and does not create a production contract, payment obligation, license, or commitment to proceed unless the parties sign a separate agreement.

Many project NDAs use a period of two to five years, but the appropriate duration depends on the sensitivity of the campaign, brand information, and applicable law. Trade secrets may require protection for as long as they remain legally protected.
