Script is your HERO and your VILLIAN

The key to a successful explainer video, is a well written script. Well, because it’s the foundation upon which everything else is built, most companies refrain from having outside help. However, in most cases, it has been found that it helps to have an “outsider” write the script.

Keep Your Video Crisp And Straight To The Point.

The typical rule here in the industry is 150 words per minute. You might be able to read faster than that (but not everyone is Eminem); but remember, your audience needs breathing room and time for the message to sink in.  So your script should be short and right on money.

You need to grab your consumer’s attention so that your video does not be skipped or closed before you have finished talking about your product.

That single most important message is your most significant weapon in your money-making arsenal.  The rest are just secondary in comparison to it. So prioritize accordingly.
