How To Make Sketchnote Videos
Share your story.
Tap into the power of visual storytelling as you learn the tools and techniques for making illustrated videos.
The Power Of Visual Storytelling
As human beings we're hardwired to respond to stories. Through stories we make sense of the world.
As visual beings we're hardwired to respond to visual stimuli. More of your brain is dedicated to the processing of visual information than any other sense.
So if you've got an idea to share or a story to tell, you'd be leaving a lot of potential unused if you don't add some visual elements into your storytelling process.
The Power Of Sketchnote Videos
When you bring static images into your process for sharing ideas, your audience with thank you.
When you add in video with sketchnoted elements, your audience will love you.
With video, you engage not only the eye but the ear as well.
And instead of being overwhelmed with the complexity of a completed visual, your viewers will get to see that visual come to life. They’ll get to see the progression from a blank page to a full set of sketched ideas.
