A valuable skill for teaching, conferences, funding proposals and far beyond.
Let go of the awkwardness and learn to shine in front of the lens.
Use your video to show what you do — to anyone, anywhere.
We guide you through the full process, from shaping your idea to delivering your story on camera. In the live workshop you define your core message, build a strong structure and write your pitch in accessible language — learning to use your voice, body and energy to keep your audience engaged.
Afterwards you refine your script at home, with two rounds of personal feedback to support you. Then it’s time to film: you come in for a one-hour professional recording session. And we don’t stop there — your video is published on the SciComm Clips website, YouTube and social media, and may even be shared by media partner Eos.

A game changer
The most stimulating project I’ve had in science communication so far. The whole process was very professional, and I was flabbergasted by the final video. It turned out to be a game changer for my career — a do-not-miss experience!

A voice to craft a story
One of the most enriching experiences I’ve had as a PhD researcher. The team gave us a voice to craft a story about our research and made it accessible to the general public.
