Overview

This skill creates clear, engaging scripts for educational and explainer videos that teach effectively. It focuses on structuring information, defining key messages, and producing dialogue, narration, and scene directions suitable for short-form and long-form videos. The result is a ready-to-use script that aligns with learning objectives and audience needs.

How this skill works

I take your learning goals, target audience, desired length, and tone, then design a script with a hook, explained concepts, examples, and a concise call-to-action. The workflow includes discovery, planning, execution, review, and optimization so the script is practical for production and learning outcomes. I can also refine existing drafts through research, feedback-driven edits, and performance-focused adjustments.

When to use it

You need a concise script to explain a concept clearly in 60–300 seconds.
You are planning an educational series and need consistent episode scripts.
You want to translate technical material into learner-friendly language.
You need a production-ready script with scene and timing notes.
You want to optimize an existing script for clarity or engagement.

Best practices

Start with a single, measurable learning objective for each video.
Open with a strong hook and real-world relevance within the first 10–20 seconds.
Use simple language, short sentences, and one main idea per segment.
Include examples, analogies, and a visual cue for each key point.
Iterate based on feedback and test with a small audience before wider release.

Example use cases

A product team needs a 90-second explainer that converts feature benefits into user-centered outcomes.
An instructor wants a clear script for a microlearning module on a technical topic.
A startup requires a short investor-facing explainer video that summarizes the problem and solution.
A marketing team is creating a tutorial series and needs consistent tone and pacing across episodes.
A nonprofit needs an awareness video that explains a complex issue simply and emotionally.

FAQ

Can you adapt a script to different formats and lengths?

Yes. Provide desired duration, format (short-form, long-form, series), and I will tailor pacing, act structure, and visual cues accordingly.

Do you include timing and scene directions?

Yes. Scripts include suggested timing, camera/visual cues, and narration/dialogue to aid production.
