11/02/21 • 10 min

Want to make better videos? Write better scripts! Scriptwriting for explainers, tutorials, whatever is essential. Especially for explainer videos, where you want to make a short, simple, and easy-to-understand video. And that is not achieved in the narration or animation. No, that's all in the script.

So let's dive into 10 practical tips for amazing video scripts.

WRITE LIKE YOU TALK
DELETE EMPTY SENTENCES
WRITE IN BLOCKS
JUST AS SMART, LESS INFORMED
USE ACTIVE VOICE
USE META SENTENCES
SPELL IT OUT
WRITE 30%, REWRITE 70%
TALK TO ME = USE “YOU”
BREAK THE RULES

Those are the rules to follow (and then break down the line). These learnings were derived from a presentation I gave at the Explain Academy. Feel free to get on the waitlist, and I'll send you an email once we roll again.
