Scriptwriter for Space Documentary -- 2

I run a Documentry-style YouTube channel, and the next release focuses on the rich history of space exploration. The visuals and preliminary research are ready; what I lack is a polished, engaging script that will keep viewers hooked from the first rocket launch to the latest mission on the horizon.

The finished video will be about 10–12 minutes long, so the script needs to sit around 1,400–1,600 spoken words. I want a clear three-act narrative structure with a compelling intro and a memorable wrap-up. Key moments to highlight include Sputnik, Apollo, Voyager, the ISS, and the pioneering figures who turned science fiction into reality.

Deliverables
• A Google Docs (or .docx/Final Draft) script complete with voice-over cues and on-screen text prompts
• Smooth transitions that blend hard facts with cinematic storytelling
• Proper citation of any additional sources you add

You’ll get my research links, footage notes, and rough outline on day one. Once the first draft lands, we’ll do one focused revision pass to tighten pacing, tone, or emphasis.

I value factual accuracy, a conversational style, and a sense of wonder about space. If crafting a script about humankind’s journey beyond Earth excites you, this project should feel less like work and more like exploration.
