Similarly, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/blog\/how-to-write-a-video-script\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the script is the foundation for your video<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As the scriptwriter, you should decide what will appear in your video.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While this can sound intimidating at first, things can be very easy with a little bit of homework.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you start writing a script for your video you need to write a solid video brief. This will help you determine your objective, target audience, and the core message of your video.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basically, before scriptwriting, you should have clarity on<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why you\u2019re making this animated video?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does it need to achieve?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who is your target audience?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What action should viewers take after watching, and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the core message of your video?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><b>Convert your core message into a simple story:<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any animated video you create will have one or more core messages that you want to communicate to your audience. The challenge lies in converting that core message into a simple and short story that will engage your audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure your story has these 3 elements:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The hook:<\/strong> This is the most important part of the script. It\u2019ll be the first 8-10 seconds for a 1-minute video. It will decide whether your viewers will stay or bounce. You should give some compelling reason for them to get hooked.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The patty:<\/strong> This is the main part of your video. This is where you get to the meat of your video. Make sure it lives up to your hook. Many make the mistake of destroying their video after a great buildup.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The CTA:<\/strong> This is the final part of your video.

It will give collaborators and decision-makers an idea of how your final video might look even before you start creating it.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For beginners, creating a storyboard will help predict whether the concept of your video will work or not. In addition, it will allow you to tweak your visuals and script to create the most compelling animation video possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A storyboard is more like a comic strip of your animation video, and the purpose of creating one helps organize your video scene by scene.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A sample storyboard will look like the one below,<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"step2\" style=\"padding-top: 70px; margin-top: -70px;\">\n<div class=\"img-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"width: 70%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Storyboard-sample.png\" alt=\"Storyboard-sample\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the rectangular boxes to represent scenes in succession and the smaller boxes below to highlight dialogues and actions.

In addition, each option has its pros &amp; cons.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few ways by which you can create an animation video,<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<h4><strong>Hire and build an in-house team:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This option will suit your brand best if you plan on making a series of animation videos and have access to a huge marketing budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, you\u2019ll need a team of scriptwriters, animators, and voice-over artists.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then you&#8217;ll have to provide them access to the necessary equipment and software. This can easily cost you tens of thousands of dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the quality and production time per animation video will solely depend on the capability of your in-house team.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<h4><b>Outsource to an animation studio:<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outsourcing will suit you best if you only plan for a one-time animation video project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There again comes the debate of choosing the right animation studio and the question of how much they would charge.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, you&#8217;ll have to consider the timeline for your project and the budget you have in hand. The quicker you need your video, the more you have to spend when it comes to outsourcing!<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, the video quality depends on how well you&#8217;ve communicated your idea and how well the studio has understood your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<h4><strong>Do-it-yourself:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The methods mentioned above can be expensive.

Record Voice-over:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are very confident about your voice, you can directly record a voice-over and sync it with the character.

Here, click the mike to record the audio.<\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>Once you are done recording, you can preview the recording, name it, and click on apply to sync it to the character.

Using Text-To-Speech Engine:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is yet another exciting feature in Animaker. The built-in text-to-speech engine helps to convert your text to speech. All you got to do is, enter your script and sync it with your character.<\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>You can explore different features like speed, pitch, volume, breath, and break of this machine. You can also change the gender and accent of the voices. Within accents, there are different voices for you to choose from.<\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>There are even options called Auto-enhance and Newscaster. As the name suggests, Auto-enhance is to save you from spending blood, sweat, and tears to make the voice sound human-like! Instead, check this box and finetune the voice in a single click.<\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10686 size-large aligncenter\" style=\"width: 70%; margin-bottom: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/48-1024x669.png\" alt=\"learn how to make animated videos\" width=\"1024\" height=\"669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/48-1024x669.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/48-300x196.png 300w, https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/48-768x501.png 768w, https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/48.png 1158w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>In short, you have all options to make adjustments to prevent the character\u2019s voice from sounding like Terminator\u2019s!<\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10685\" style=\"width: 70%; margin-bottom: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/47.gif\" alt=\"learn how to make animated videos\" width=\"500\" height=\"223\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"3_3\"><strong>C.
