Video Script

 

This copy sample is a a spec episode script for an existing car-culture news video series on YouTube. The format is a single presenter reading the news primarily as voiceover while images and footage play on-screen. 

 

Audience: Owners of high-value collector vehicles, and car-culture enthusiasts. Essentially, people who love cars, motorsports, and the car business. 

 

Goals: Since this is a spec script for a well-established series, my main goal was to support the continuity and momentum the producers had already achieved. But I also wanted to give the presenter a knowing, friendly, and slightly humorous tone.

Excerpt

Finally, Bugatti’s back with a new car! Starting at … $35,000? That’s right, they’ve released a single-seat roadster called the Baby II.

This lil’ guy pays homage to the half-scale, battery-powered racecar — called “the Baby” — built in 1926 for Ettore Bugatti’s four-year-old son.

Today, the electric Baby II is based on digital scans of a Type 35. It’s sized to three-quarters scale, to be driven by kids AND so-called grown-ups. Three variants are on offer, with the top-shelf Pur Sang edition sporting an aluminum body taking coachbuilders 200 hours to shape by hand. Top speed: 42 blazing miles per hour.

 

Most of the 500 copies are already reserved, but a few more future owners can register interest at the brilliantly named website, BugattiBaby.com.
