Short video production in Kenya: Planning Worksheets and Source Register
Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Keep records that answer a specific question
Use a buyer brief, quotation comparison, acceptance record and cash ledger matched to short video production.
This is a planning reference for short video production. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional sample order: a bicycle repair shop commissions one 30-second vertical video explaining its puncture-repair booking process. Deliver a 1080 × 1920 MP4, a caption file and a thumbnail from one 90-minute visit, with one consolidated correction round. The shop supplies its correct contact details and approves every service claim. Paid actors, drone shots, music subscriptions, posting and advertising spend are excluded. Obtain permission before including identifiable customers or number plates.

An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0669: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 1 priced units at KSh 7,000.00 each. Buyer group: Businesses and creators needing a limited promotional or explanatory clip. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 1 x KSh 7,000.00 = KSh 7,000.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 5,400.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 1,600.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 2,100.00. The invoice balance is KSh 4,900.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 3,300.00 is needed after applying the advance. The advance is counted once, not again at final collection.
These sample entries are not your actual job records. Keep names, contacts and payment references in private copies. The paid pack contains offline editable costing, operations and cash-planning tools; this public sheet explains how the records connect.
