A good brief for a combined vendor comparison has to be plain about the final use. If the team needs crew coordination, shot priority, interview planning, and asset organization, the provider has to protect a balanced evaluation while accounting for the reality that a vendor may be strong in one medium and vague in the other.

Why logistics matter for a combined vendor comparison
This is the place to ask for specifics. How will the provider direct people, protect timing, or adjust the capture plan when a vendor may be strong in one medium and vague in the other?

What makes the final folder useful for combined photo video vendor reviews

Do not compare providers only by day rate. Compare the amount of uncertainty each one removes from a combined vendor comparison.
Good delivery turns a combined vendor comparison into a working asset library. It should reduce the number of small questions the team has to answer before publishing.
The best choice is the partner who can explain how the stills and motion assets will help each other.
