Explainer video script: a meal-prep delivery service
Scene breakdown
| # | Time | On screen | Voice-over / dialogue |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0:00–0:08 | Hook. A fridge door opens: half a lemon, ketchup, one sad egg. | "It's 8 pm. You've worked ten hours. And this is dinner." |
| 2 | 0:08–0:20 | Montage: delivery app scrolling, greasy takeaway bag, receipt total $34. | "So you order takeaway. Again. It costs too much, and you still feel tired after it." |
| 3 | 0:20–0:35 | Logo reveal. Bright kitchen, a chef plating a bowl. | "GreenBox Kitchen cooks real food for your week — fresh, balanced, and ready in three minutes." |
| 4 | 0:35–1:00 | Phone screen: choosing 5 meals from a weekly menu. | "Every Thursday you pick your meals for next week. Spicy, vegetarian, high-protein — mix whatever you like." |
| 5 | 1:00–1:20 | Courier at a door on Sunday, cooler bag handed over. | "On Sunday we deliver everything chilled, in one bag, in a two-hour slot you choose." |
| 6 | 1:20–1:40 | Microwave timer: 3:00. Steam, a fork digs in. | "On a weeknight, it's three minutes from fridge to plate. No shopping, no washing up." |
| 7 | 1:40–2:00 | Text cards: "From $9.50 a meal", "Skip any week", "Recyclable packaging". | "Meals start at $9.50. Skip or pause any week. And every container goes in your recycling bin." |
| 8 | 2:00–2:15 | Customer (actor) at a desk, smiling. | Priya: "I stopped stressing about dinner. And I've saved about $200 a month." |
| 9 | 2:15–2:30 | CTA. Fridge from scene 1, now full of labelled boxes. Website and code on screen. | "Your first week is 30% off with code FIRSTBOX. GreenBox Kitchen — dinner, sorted." |

About this service
In animation every second of screen time is drawn or rigged, so the script has to be lean: few characters and backgrounds, action that tells the story without much dialogue, and visual gags or beats described clearly enough for a storyboard artist. We write an animated short script in screenplay layout with each action beat on its own line, notes on timing, sound and key expressions, and dialogue kept short so it is easy to dub into other languages. Characters and locations are kept to the numbers your studio can produce.

Questions and answers
Can the film have no dialogue at all?
Yes, many festival shorts are wordless. The script then carries everything through action, expressions and sound.
Do you make the storyboard?
No, this service covers the script. It is written so a storyboard artist can work from it directly.
Who owns the script?
Once the order is complete, you can use it as your own, including for festivals, funding applications and commercial release.
