As a YT rookie, I started without teleprompter. Or any scripts. I just thought to myself I'm gonna improvise as I do when talking to people. But boy was I wrong. It would take me an hour or more to record 10 minutes of usable footage. So a couple of months ago, I got myself a teleprompter, and got into habit of writing scripts. Probably the best investment into my channel ever. A 10-minut video now has like 20 minutes of footage, so I also lose way less time in editing. Not going back anytime soon, although I do have to work on my presentation. Which will come with time and practice. Thanks Joris, you're a big inspiration and source of knowledge!
I’ve always been a creative writer, but since I’ve been toying around with video, I’ve struggled so hard in the storytelling aspect. My creativity and personality just hasn’t been able to come through. I stumbled onto a video about scripting which led me to another, which led to more which got me here. This video spoke to me. Thanks for providing a great kickstart! Cheers!
Thanks for this. That makes perfect sense. A bit of white, a bit of yellow. And, of course, it reminds you to put in the plenty of b-roll to keep the viewer engaged.
I really appreciate that this video isn’t 18 minutes long :)
Thanks for sharing your approach! It's enlightening to see how others structure their process. I've been on the hunt for "the right way" for my own work. Currently, I use a table in my writing program with three columns: the exact script, the visual elements like effects and memes, and the audio cues. Always evolving and learning!
Bless your heart!!! ☀ Discovering that this is how others do it, is a great relief. I always had a voice in my mind judging me for recording after I just read my script. I used to believe all other creators were flawlessly talking improvising, without a script. So thank you!☀
That is exactly what I needed! I'm also a non-native English speaker and I find it difficult to speak spontaneously the whole script. It's hard, but manageable.
What a Timing! I was working on the script for my next video and then got notification about this! The keyword tip , Really Helpful
I love this. I just started doing something like this a few weeks ago, and I also write down all the specific b roll shots I will need. As always, great video! Love it. ❤
You have no Idea how much you've helped me. It might seem simple to you but this doesn't come naturally to me. I always spoke the script word for word and you can see me looking at the teleprompter and there are tons of jump cuts 😅
Super helpful. Thanks. Also, really like your delivery. Very natural, relaxed and quite casual, but professional...
Highlighting the parts of text where there will be BRoll is genius. That would probably work for me Thanks for the video
That part with the highlighting B-roll is amazing - thanks for sharing, Joris! I will definitely steal that tip. 😎
Thank you so much. I try to do YouTube in the past with criminal case and always thought how people relate and can retain so much information without making mistakes.
That is a great idea for organizing and creating. The key to creating content is just making it, lots of it.
I love it when you do weird things. Feels more connected.
This is exactly how I do it, but I still need to practice how to be a bit more comfortable and “free” on camera. Thanks for the video!
This was fantastic! I've been so frustrated with my stupid scripts and trying to be real, but reading a script has been killing that idea because it's hard to trust people when they're obviously reading something. It's a bizarre phenomenon.
Great video Joris. Great tips.
