PRODUCT DEMO VIDEO SCRIPT TEMPLATE Moonshine Media Group, moonshinemediagroup.com Fill in the brackets. Read it aloud with a stopwatch. 2.5 words per second is a comfortable voiceover pace, so a 60-second demo is about 150 words and a 90-second demo is about 220. -------------------------------------------------------------- PRODUCT: [name] AUDIENCE: [the one person this is for, by job title] WHERE IT PLAYS: [homepage / demo request page / sales follow-up / trade show screen] TARGET LENGTH: [60 / 90 / 120 seconds] THE ONE THING: [the single sentence a viewer should repeat to a colleague] -------------------------------------------------------------- 0:00 to 0:08 THE SITUATION (about 20 words) Open on the viewer's day, not your product. Name the moment the problem shows up. VO: [ "Every Monday, ___ has to ___ before ___ can ___." ] SCREEN: [ the real-world scene or the dashboard the viewer already stares at ] 0:08 to 0:15 THE COST (about 15 words) What the problem costs in time, money, risk, or reputation. One number if you have one. VO: [ "That takes ___ hours a week, and one miss means ___." ] SCREEN: [ the number, large ] 0:15 to 0:22 THE TURN (about 15 words) Introduce the product by what it does, not by its category. VO: [ "[Product] does ___ automatically, so ___ happens in ___." ] SCREEN: [ product name and the first real screen ] 0:22 to 0:55 THE DEMO, THREE BEATS (about 75 words, 25 each) Show the product doing the thing. Each beat is one screen, one action, one result. Keep the cursor honest: one click per beat. Beat 1, VO: [ "First, ___." ] SCREEN: [ screen, action, result ] Beat 2, VO: [ "Then, ___." ] SCREEN: [ screen, action, result ] Beat 3, VO: [ "And when ___, ___." ] SCREEN: [ screen, action, result ] 0:55 to 1:05 THE PROOF (about 20 words) A customer, a number, or a named integration. Real or leave it out. VO: [ "[Customer] cut ___ from ___ to ___." ] SCREEN: [ logo or the before/after number ] 1:05 to 1:15 THE ASK (about 15 words) One action. Say it once. VO: [ "See it on your own data. Book a demo at ___." ] SCREEN: [ URL, product logo, nothing else ] -------------------------------------------------------------- CHECKLIST BEFORE YOU SHOOT OR ANIMATE [ ] The first sentence is about the viewer, not the product. [ ] Every screen shows a result, not a menu. [ ] Word count matches the target length at 2.5 words per second. [ ] Any number on screen is one you can defend in a sales call. [ ] Synthetic data is clean: no real customer names, no lorem ipsum, no 2019 dates. [ ] A 30-second cut can be lifted from beats 1 to 3 plus the ask. [ ] The ask points to one URL.
