Make a Pitch Video

About this curriculum

This curriculum is a free, step-by-step guide to creating a two-minute pitch video to communicate your ideas to any audience. We’re brimming with resources, tips, and tutorials, and each step is based around easy-to-follow activities that build on each other to get you to a polished final video. Planning to crowdfund? We've got bonus suggestions just for you.

 

Timeline

We've split it into ten steps, so it all depends on your measure of quality. Can you make a video in one day? Of course! And you'll see lots of those in our examples of what not to do.

 

What you'll learn

How to make a pitch video, of course. And you'll get to dip your toes into the design process. We're focused on your video. We won't tell you how to set up the rest of your pitch campaign and we won't tell you how to make your project.  

 

What you'll make

A two-minute video showcasing your project and your story.

 

Think you're ready?

Take our little pre-activity: "Are you supposed to be here?" in the box to the right. If you get stuck, you might need to head back to the drawing board and work on your project or your overall campaign a bit more. Whiz through it? Head on over to "Activities" in the menu bar above.
