Lesson 1 - How to write a script

We believe that video is all in the prep and writing, then it’s polished off in production and the edit. Learn to write great content and you’ll have a powerful weapon at your disposal.

This video will take you through the basics of writing video scripts.

Lesson 2 - How to come up with and write intros that hook viewers

They say you have 5 seconds to hook someone with a video. We disagree, you have longer in many cases but the intro needs to hold your viewers attention and make them want to watch the next section no matter what.

Lesson 3 - Why you must tell stories

Stories are the most powerful device you can use when writing, this video will teach you how to use them and why.

Lesson 4 - How to use props (coming soon)

Props can add a lot of creativity to a video but use them in the wrong way and you’ll just distract your viewer. This video will walk you through how to use props the right way.

Lesson 5 - How to make better vlogs

This video takes a look at what makes a great vlog and how you might use these findings to write better videos.

Bonus content - How to get over making “perfect” videos

Although we believe you should do as much as you can to make a video that is dressed for success, you never (even after years of practice) make perfect content.

This video will talk you through the methods software companies use to improve their software so you can get over being perfect and start producing videos (that don’t suck too much).
