initial questions to ask a prospective client when doing a pro bono piece...

[eco_bach]

Hi
Not sure if this is the correct forum as I haven't started production yet but...
Currently trying to build up a reel of a few shorts. Have approached a local bike shop with lots of history in the community about creating a pro-bono commercial(2-3minutes max).
But not having done this before, unsure as to how I should proceed.
What are some initial questions I should ask?

What are some resaonable expectations in terms of client input and revisions?

Since it's pro-bono, should I come up with a first draft- script-storyboard, and solicit the client for feedback and revisions, or, should I ask the client to prepare a first-draft script themselves?

Any other tips or suggestions welcome!

Pro bono and you'll do revisions? Unless you spell something wrong or some obvious other mistake, I wouldnt be doing revs on top of a freebie.

Additionally, you should set set up the date you will go back and tape testimonials from your contact - about how great a job you did the project- if they wont do this IMHO, you're wasting your time.
