In advance of the book release, for the next 6 weeks, Rip Media’s is releasing the series: How to write compelling video.
As a producer, and business development professional, Rip Media’s CEO, Maury Rogow, discusses his new book “The Sales Force”. In it we found there are six secrets to writing a successful commercial script.
If you are writing a whiteboard animation, creating a motion graphic animation, or a about to film a live action video, critical rules apply.
Part 5: You need the “S.T.U.F.F.”
When it comes to advertising or any kind of storytelling, getting in touch with your emotions is not just a therapy exercise. It’s absolutely necessary if you want to connect with your potential buyers on a personal level.
According to Maury Rogow’s book ‘The Sales Force’, it all boils down to the S.T.U.F.F.:
- Sexy: What makes your product sizzle? What makes it cool?
- Touching: Is there something about your product or service that brings an emotional tie to past or future desires? Nostalgia? Hope? Empathy?
- Unique/Unexpected: Creating a whiteboard animation or a motion graphic video is certainly unique, but we must mix in other emotions to create a compelling story. What else is unique about your product or story?
- Fear: What are the consequences of your buyers not taking action?
- Funny: The quickest way to your audience’s heart is to make them laugh.
If you apply the S.T.U.F.F. to your story, and it is produced as a whiteboard animation, animation, or live action commercial, you’ve got yourself a potential winner.
But, when you think you’re ready to show your carefully-chosen audience everything your product has to offer them with the best story possible… you’ve got one more step to go.
