Script Writing Course: Strong Scripts
An Animated Script Writing Course That Teaches You How To Write Great
Video Scripts That Guarantee An Effecient Video Production Process
Strong Scripts = Strong Videos
Learn to Build a Strong Foundation
If you are creating video content but haven’t invested the time to learn fundamental scriptwriting for video, you are absolutely wasting a lot of precious time in your process.
Chances are good that you face the all-too-common trade-off: how to create a high-quality video without spending too much time on the production?
Maybe you worry about wasting time on a video creation that is overly complex and long. But creating a solid foundation under your video in the early parts of the process will actually save you a lot of time in the end.
On top of the worries around wasting time, you probably also believe that you create high-quality videos without a script. If you are a genius that might be true. But for the rest of us mortals, we need to structure our story and transform that into a clear script for our video.
Video scripts for explainer videos are as foundational as water for instant coffee. It’s gonna be one dry video if you don’t add the one ingredient that makes all the difference. Scripts are step 1 for your videos—not matter if you create videos for marketing, e-learning, or entertainment.
Sadly, I see a lot of half-baked videos coming from my students of “Go Beyond Vyond“. Not because the animations don’t work—it’s a clear structure that’s missing.
That’s why I created Strong Scripts.
With Strong Scripts, I’ll share my best templates, tips, and tricks accumulated over 3 years of creating more than 300 videos for high-ticket clients. I wrote 100s of scripts and learned the craft through hands-on experience—so you don't have to. And practicality, utility, and pace are in focus for this course on script writing.
Strong Scripts is your shortcut to master the craft of writing effective scripts for videos.

How I grew my video business
Teaching myself the process of animation video creation changed my life.
Back when I was still in college, I worked for a large accounting company. A colleague asked me for help around finishing up a video, she was creating.
The tool she used was GoAnimate (the old name for Vyond), and I started getting good at the tool. Before long, I had finished the video, and it was promoted by the company and got 60.000+ views on Youtube.
I was hooked. On the side, I started making complete videos for a friend’s web agency, where he’d bundle a website with an explainer video for the customer’s front page.
I’d write the script. I’d record the voice-over. And I’d make the animations that visualised the script, I had written.
Before long, the orders were lining up, and I got way too busy to keep up with his video requests and decided to raise my prices and go solo. My video agency was born and with it, my first entrepreneurial adventure.
Fast forward a couple of years, we were 3 full-time employees and 4 part-timers. Over time, I realised that I enjoyed online teaching more than serving clients, so I decided to close the agency and go all-in on creating courses based on our combined learnings as an agency.
Script writing was always the reason for a videos success or failure. Our animation videos could never become better than the underlying script that supported it.
With 300+ scripts behind me, I’m now ready to share everything I’ve learned along the way.
"I just completed your Scriptwriting course, and I must say I found it very well structured, to the point, information-dense, and loaded with practical examples. Precisely what a course should be. You can tell the number of hours you put into developing this course. I am a fan of your work: 2 years ago, I also took your Vyond Animation course."

Who is the course for
E-learning professionals, business owners, marketers, course creators and more!
This course is for video creators who create short videos for the web and value efficient production. It is not for traditionally educated movie makers who work with longer formats for the big screens.
Your use-case doesn’t matter — scriptwriting is a skillset that serves educators, marketers and content creators equally well— but the course examples primary revolve around e-learning and marketing, as these are the fields I have the most experience with and best examples from.
What it comes down to is this: I don’t want to sell you anything that you cannot benefit from.
That’s simply not how I want to do things. I want you to succeed. And if you are not in a position where the price of the course quickly pays for itself, you should probably not enroll.
When you are ready, I’ll be here for you.
"Really enjoyed the course, its simple and easy to follow. I have learned quite a few things."
