SCRIPT: Putin’s Energy War Against Europe, Explained
Added 2022-11-04 17:30:35 +0000 UTCHi friends - this month’s script is from my recent video about Putin's energy war against Europe.
This was a super interesting video to research and the response to it has been super interesting too! I feel really lucky to have a community of curious people engaging with these stories. Thank you for being one of those curious people!

I'm a new patron. Your passion for what you do shines through on the screen. It's a major reason why I continue to watch your content. One question, which may have been answered in previous comments, but heregoes... What does your color coding on scripts mean?

2022-11-28 12:33:44 +0000 UTCDo you limit your word count for each of your storyboard slides? It seems like it really is a joint focus in your scripts, rather than doing one part and then the other.

2022-11-28 12:33:10 +0000 UTCThe language I use is probably the number one thing I think about most, I try really really hard to push past jargon and unnecessary detail and keep the viewers in mind at all times. It is also essential to try to retain what we call 'fresh brain', what did it feel like when I was first learning about this? How do I channel that into the writing to make sure someone new to this topic really gets it but doesn't feel like I belabor the basics too much? It is a delicate balance but a very important one!

2022-11-26 14:52:09 +0000 UTCHi Johnny, thanks for opening up your scripts to others, it's super helpful to see your process. How much do you think about the language you use? It is straightforward but hits the points with enough detail to explain the subject properly. Do you have any advice on how to find this nice balance?

2022-11-24 17:08:59 +0000 UTCYes! I didn't always but I've started to use a teleprompter - I'll be sure to include what that rig looks like in an upcoming BTS vlog

2022-11-10 00:29:51 +0000 UTCHey Johnny, thanks a lot for this, it is really going to help me improve. I have a question though, do you use a teleprompter and how do you do it with your script structured in this format?

2022-11-09 22:34:42 +0000 UTCVisuals are typically added as I write, but you can do it either way. I think because I learn visually, its easier to think of them as I go and to get them jotted down. And welcome!!

2022-11-07 00:21:38 +0000 UTCI’m here thanks to the revamped Patreon, and wanted to say as an someone aspiring to tell better stories this is wonderfully helpful I also have an question around how you write those scripts? The visual column seems intertwined with the voice over, so what’s the process for writing? First draft with only VO and visuals added after?

2022-11-06 18:06:55 +0000 UTCDefinitely completed before we hit record! the visual column is intended for editors and also so that we're paying attention to visuals as we write, but the script is the foundation of the video before we film as well!

2022-11-05 20:30:12 +0000 UTCLove these, Johnny. Thanks for sharing! One question: Is this more of an editor-facing script, or is this completed before you press record?
