Step 1: Determine purpose and target audience

The conversion process from post to explainer video requires the identification of the purpose and target audience. Throughout the process, to ensure that content is engaging, a focus should be placed on the language preference of the target audience.

Step 2: Select the appropriate blog post

Select an informative blog post with the potential for visual explanation and storytelling.

Step 3: Create an unambiguous script

Extract the key points from a blog article and create a script with a clear message of the content. Use preferred language when creating the script and adapt colloquial expressions or phrases when necessary.

Step 4: Plan visuals

Once the script has been created, compile the visuals to complement each section. Build confidence, and use audience-appropriate images such as those related to culture.

Step 5: Organise with storyboarding

In the storyboard, script sections are broken down into individual scenes. This way, each video section can be organised and visualised better during the production run-up.

Step 6: Choose a video style

Choose an appealing explainer video style that fits the topic and the desired target group. Popular types include 2D animation, whiteboard animation, live-action, and motion graphics.

Step 7: Add voiceover

For spoken explainer videos, a voiceover artist should be hired to ensure consistency of language preferences. Alternatively, text-to-speech software that provides authentic-sounding accents can be applied.

Step 8: Production and animation

Once all elements are prepared, production and animation of the explainer video can begin. Professional video editing and animation tools help to create a ‘living’ storyboard and a ‘seamless’ video flow.

Step 9: Finalising the video

Before publishing the explainer video, language, visual elements, audio quality and overall coherence are carefully reviewed again. This way, fine-tuning and last-minute changes can be made.

These are the basic steps to transform blog posts into explainer videos, where content can be reused in an even more engaging and dynamic format.
