Content [ ]

The channel's videos consists of short animated stories (10-15 minutes). The stories are often narrated by female voice Actors aka the main character of the stories (usually females). The stories usually contain topics such as issues with relatives or school, boyfriend drama, being/becoming a billionaire, becoming famous on social media, and more.

The channel was made after the success of Storybooth , another YouTube channel that uploads animated stories. Since then, MSA previously My Story Animated along with other channels such as Share My Story , Dory Story , and ACTUALLY HAPPENED began appearing. The difference between Storybooth and MSA previously My Story Animated is that Storybooth's stories are proven to be real, as they have a website to submit stories for them to be animated and uploaded and they don't use voice actors, while MSA previously My Story Animated isn't known to have a website to submit stories, they use a variety style of animation instead of sticking to the same animation and the voices of the narrators are presumably voice-acted.

Channels [ ]

After reaching 5 million subscribers, MSA previously My Story Animated started uploading on their new channels called "ZVOID" and "The Perfect Family.” Like MSA previously My Story Animated, the new channels also have stories uploaded on them, but with live action and the same theme they use for their main channel, like "My Dad Kicked me Out and He lived to regret it,” “My Mom Kicked Her Daughter Out Because She Is Pregnant,” and “She pretends to be his wife after he woke up from coma.” It is believed that many of these stories were copied from motivational YouTuber Dhar Mann due to his videos and the videos on MSA previously My Story Animated's new channels having similar titles.

The Perfect Family was created on December 7, 2020, and it appears to be a spoof or parody of popular sitcom Family Guy .

Web Animation / My Story Animated

Edit locked.

The idea of the channel is to tell outlandish stories that occur to teenage characters. They involve school, family secrets, and other real world topics, however they usually have an unusual twist to them.

My Story Animated provides examples of:

• Alpha Bitch : You can know for a fact the worst bully in a school is always the popular kid.
• Ambiguous Situation : The video "i had no idea his trick could work" sees its narrator, Dana, get jealous and suspicious when her boyfriend Damien spends a lot of time at her friend Jackie's house and refuses to let her see their text conversations. While Damien insists that they were just working on a surprise gift for her, she later sees them kissing in her room. Dana herself admits that she's not sure if her jealousy was justified after all or if it drove Damien into Jackie's arms .
• Animesque : Several videos are varying degrees of animesque and use anime-inspired expressions.
• "I Wouldn't Have Known This if i didn't lose my v card" ends with Bamba and her lover Matt having had a baby (presumably through artificial insemination, since she didn't lose her allergy to physical contact with other humans until after she got pregnant).
• "I didn't know what music was until I was 17" ends with the narrator, now married to her longtime boyfriend, expecting a baby.
• The Baby Trap : Dana from "i had no idea his trick could work" is suspicious that her boyfriend Damien might be cheating on her with her best friend Jackie. So she secretly replaces some of her birth control pills with mints. Not only does she get pregnant, but so does her mom, who unknowingly took her daughter's birth control pills in a moment of carelessness.
• Halle from "My Dad Passed Out When He Saw Who I Am Dating" falls in love with the bodyguard her father hired to keep an eye on her. She tries to have a relationship with him, but it doesn't work out that way.
• Both Sides Have a Point : In "My Dad Found Out What I Did In School’s Lab At Night", the narrator and her father get into a fight when the latter admits to being the one sending the former the notes saying he knew what she did. The narrator's dad is right when he tells his daughter she should have confessed, but the narrator is also right when she points out that leaving those anonymous notes was really messed-up.
• Bruiser with a Soft Center : Hunter from "i found her after 20 years" is a large, muscular guy who's not above getting violent when sufficiently angered... but also kindhearted and protective by nature.
• The Cameo : Some of the more recent episodes have characters who appeared in a previous episode act as background characters.
• Declaration of Protection : Hunter from "i found her after 20 years" solemnly promises to protect Lisa.
• In the now-private video "I didn't know what music was until I was 17", the narrator goes through a lot of terrible things due to being a free spirit living in a compound of religious fundamentalists. But eventually, she manages to build a new life away from the compound with her family and becomes a successful comic artist.
• Entertainingly Wrong : Callie from "I Found out what my grandma do in her secret room, she made $$$" sees her grandmother spending time alone with a man named Gerald while all dressed up and assumes he's her lover, an assumption that seems to be confirmed when she checks her phone and sees him listed in her contacts as "#1 Man". It turned out the man was actually her manager ("#1 Man" was short for #1 Manager), but it's not hard to understand why she thought so.
• Fatal Flaw : Dana from "i had no idea his trick could work" is very prone to jealousy , and at one point yells at her boyfriend Damien over something that happened in one of her dreams. Her jealousy eventually causes her to become a single mother.
• Fun with Acronyms : Bamba and Matt from "I Wouldn't Have Known This if i didn't lose my v card" start a pseudo-cult called "Summon the Darkness" to explain why they're showing up to school in weird latex costumes. And yes, the fact that it stands for "STD" is completely intentional in-universe.
• Girls with Moustaches : "I Wear A Mask To School To Hide What My Father Did To Me" is about a teenage girl who has facial hair due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
• A God I Am Not : Prisha from "people $$$ to see my face | my strange job" is treated like a goddess by the people of her village... and hates it, in large part due to the heavy duties and lack of freedom it means for her. She tries to tell one of her worshippers that she's not a goddess in private, but he insists she is.
• Handsome Lech : "Brian/Mark" (his real name is never established) from "it was all a lie". While he's certainly good-looking and can be charming when it suits him, he turns out to be a complete scumbag in the bedroom (focusing solely on his own pleasure, doing things that hurt his bedmates, etc.), much to narrator Sarah's displeasure.
• Hate Sink : In a majority of the stories, there are characters who are bullies and obnoxious brats who try to make the narrators’ lives miserable.
• Mama Bear : In "We Got Married But We Never Met", Mia goes considerable lengths to save her son after he gets kidnapped.
• Mind Screw : In "i had no idea they could do that", just about everything presented is... ambiguous and inconsistent, to put it mildly.
• Miss Conception : Felicia from "I Got Preg-nant From Swimming with My Friends" is a sheltered girl with some prudish parents, and as such has only a vague idea of how babies are made. When she doesn't have her period after she makes out with Miles at a pool party, she thinks he got her pregnant... even though the most they did was French kiss.
• Monica from "I found out why my mother keeps losing her underwear" assumes her friend John is gay. But it's later revealed that he just Likes Older Women .
• Mistaken for Pregnant : In "I Got Preg-nant From Swimming with My Friends", Felicia thinks she got knocked up by Miles. But it turns out that her symptoms were actually caused by an ovarian cyst.
• Mukokuseki : One now-deleted video called "My biological parents traded me for two pigs" takes place in China and has an all-Chinese cast, but everyone is depicted in this style.
• Münchausen Syndrome : "Mom Made Me Have the worst diseases To Become Rich" is about an example of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. Laurie's mother deliberately causes her to have some very serious health problems for money and attention.
• The narrator of "I Stole A Lipstick, I Ended Up Being Pregnant!" manages to hide her pregnancy from her parents by doing charity work in a foreign country and giving her baby up for adoption after giving birth there.
• Narcissist : Helen's father in "I Work In Cleaning Bathrooms While My Dad Is A Millionaire" is diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder by a psychiatrist. Considering he kept his wife and daughter in poverty while not telling them he was a successful businessman for no reason other than wanting to indulge in his money fixation to the fullest, this is hardly surprising.
• "I Am In Complex Relationship, We Are 4" may sound like it's a story about polyamory , when in fact, it's about both halves of a couple playing Operation: Jealousy with Invented Individuals .
• Run for the Border : The now-deleted video "I Woke Up In A Moving Van Heading To Mexico" is about a girl whose father tries to flee to Mexico with her and her sister.
• Self-Made Man : Hunter from "i found her after 20 years" manages to get rich by founding his own company.
• In the now-private video "Mom Saw My date in school", it's revealed that the main character's mother doesn't like her boyfriend because his mother is a rival pro wrestler who she blames for ruining her career.
• In "My BFF Left Me A Letter After She Died", Lily gets picked on by other students due to her mother being a very strict teacher.
• One now-private video titled "I Only Date Blind People because i am too pretty" is about a young woman whose beauty causes her serious problems: people being jealous of her, people only being interested in her for her appearance, and even people becoming creepily obsessed with her.
• Stalker with a Crush : Ben from "I Got Stuck Inside My Crush Locker, I Saw Everything" is revealed to have been stalking Sam, the narrator.
• Stockholm Syndrome : Sam from "I Got Stuck Inside My Crush Locker, I Saw Everything" starts developing this after being held captive by her stalker Ben for some time.
• Swirlie : "my bff locked me in the bath with my crush" has Kara and Alicia getting revenge on Blake for spreading malicious rumors about the former by doing this to him.
• Tagline : "Real Stories Animated".
• Taking the Veil : Mary from "i found my disowned sister, her story is heartbreaking" was forced to enter a convent by her parents because she'd gotten pregnant as a teenager.
• Talking in Your Sleep : Katie from "I Found My Pictures On My Creepy Roommate’s Phone" has a habit of doing this. Her tendencies both amuse and annoy her roommate Regina, the narrator.
• Teen Genius : Penelope from "I Took Revenge By Becoming Their Lawyer" graduated from a special science school at the age of 14.
• Theme Twin Naming : Luna and Juna from "A Kiss Uncovered a 20 Year Old Secret" are twin sisters with very similar names.
• Through the Eyes of Madness : It's really hard to tell what the truth of... well, just about anything in the video "i had no idea they could do that" is, owing to the narrator's severe schizophrenia.
• Visual Pun : After Felicia from "I Got Preg-nant From Swimming with My Friends" describes her mom as a "crazy old bat", said woman is briefly shown as a bat-human hybrid.
• Wham Line : Bamba from "I Wouldn't Have Known This if i didn't lose my v card" spends most of the story thinking her rash was caused by an STD given to her by a boy named Matt. Later on, she gives CPR to an old woman and is afraid she might have somehow spread it to her. But a doctor at the hospital reassures her: "Relax, dear. An allergy to human touch is not contagious."
• What Does She See in Him? : Hunter from "i found her after 20 years" admits he has no clue what Lisa sees in her boyfriend Kent. Since Kent is an emotionally abusive parasite who cheats on her, his views on her relationship are entirely justified.
• Witch with a Capital "B" : In the more recent stories from the 2020's, the most common insult targeted towards a girl's Arch-Enemy is "witch".
• You Dirty Rat! : While Anna's pet rats in "my stepmom kicked me out of the house" aren't actually examples of the trope, she exploits their reputation to get revenge on her father and stepmother by driving them out of their house.

MSA previously My Story Animated

• Edit source
• View history

MSA, also known as My Story Animated , is an anime storytime channel owned by the Israeli developer Zvoid which is based on fictional stories from the viewers.

After the success of the animated storytime channel Storybooth, other channels such as MSA previously My Story Animated, Share My Story, Dory Story, and ACTUALLY HAPPENED began appearing.

• 1.1 Copyright Claim against Kubz Scouts
• 1.2 New Channels (ZVOID, The Perfect Family)

Controversy [ ]

MSA previously My Story Animated has been criticised by people as containing stories that are exaggerated, outlandish, unrealistic, and even fake, due to the absurdity of the stories. Despite this, their channel continues to grow and they insist that the stories submitted are from real people. Have you also noticed, they fail to be inclusive and lack of diversity of race. I’ve never seen black or Hispanic people one MSA.

i wont lie MSA has included black and Hispanic people in their stories if you watch all of it then you will see them

Copyright Claim against Kubz Scouts [ ]

In June 2020, MSA previously My Story Animated made a copyright claim against a YouTuber called Kubz Scouts due to his reactions towards their videos. They claimed he did not give them any credit and as such his videos containing any of their content would be taken down.

For a brief period of time, the channel was subject to a number of video dislikes and hate comments from fans of Kubz Scouts, despite the YouTube personally saying in his videos not to hate on the channel. Some videos were privated or deleted during this time due to the hate they received.

New Channels (ZVOID, The Perfect Family) [ ]

After reaching 5 million subscribers, they started uploading on their new channels called ZVOID, and The Perfect Family. Like MSA previously My Story Animated, they also post various stories, but with live action with the same theme they use as for their main channel like "My Dad Kicked me Out and He lived to regret it", "My Mom Kicked Her Daughter Out Because She Is Pregnant", "She pretends to be his wife after he woke up from coma". It is also believed that they are also the copycats of various life stories made by Dhar Mann. The Perfect Family is another channel that was created on December 7 , 2020, and is a spoof or parody of popular sitcom Family Guy.

Some people claim MSA previously My Story Animated fake due to how unrealistic the stories are. Though, a lot of people also say MSA is still entertaining. Some people say that MSA is sexist due to the main character usually being a girl and almost never a boy. There's no website to submit your stories to MSA, so they might be made up.

i think im pretty sure they can also text MSA on instagram and submit their stories over there, theres no need for an entire website?

Also,there are male characters in MSA vedios,as a main character?? Rarely but there are some VERY interesting male main characters….

Overall,MSA is the best comfort channel with good food 🍲🫶🏻

How to Write an Outstanding Animation Script?

Table of contents.

Finally realizing the value of online video, your boss has given you the go-ahead to prepare an animated video for your website. Great! Additionally, you have found a fantastic animated video creation tool for your explainer video. Create a solid script for the animated video before continuing to use the mouse. You might be thinking of an instructional, educational, promotional, or informative animated video, among other genres. A poor script is complicated to make look good on video. There is a good chance that your animated video will succeed if your script is strong; so this blog is here for you.

What Is an Animation Script?

According to the dictionaries, A Script is nothing but “The written text of a play.” In other words, What is finally seen and heard is written on the page. This position for the screenplay format is referred to as script writing (or screenwriting). Writing a script entails capturing the characters’ facial expressions, actions, and language in a screenplay format. Writing a novel, a poem, or an essay is a completely different process from writing a script. Specific formatting techniques are necessary in order to communicate effectively on the screen.

The story is visually expressed using the screenplay format. Scriptwriters or screenwriters write for film, animation, video games, and nowadays even online web series. In fact, it is advisable to invest half of your time crafting an engaging script if you are particularly fussy about the final product and have decided to devote a significant amount of effort to create the animated video. Are you going to create your own animation video script? So you should be aware of different points brought about in this blog.

Become an Animator First!

It’s an unavoidable fact that trying to sell an animation screenplay on spec—writing it with the hope of selling it to someone—can be harder than trying to sell a spec script for a live-action movie. Typically, animation studios create their own animated works. And animators typically create those projects. The medium of an animator is animation. There’s no getting around that.

Therefore, think about trying to become an animator yourself before beginning your career as a writer for animation. The simplest and most straightforward entry point into writing for animation is that.

You can seek a degree in computer graphics or animation. Disney provides internship options for college students, as well as entry-level growth chances for recent graduates and others who are new to the animation profession. There are also a ton of other opportunities available online.

But fear not—writing for animation has also been successful for non-animators if they know the way through producing 3D animation pipeline . 

Animated Videos’ Script Writing

There is no better way to impart specific knowledge, train staff, or publicize your company than through animated video, which is a great medium for selling the message. When a video doesn’t seem staged, it will become authentic. Writing a script for an animation video won’t be possible using the writing skills we learned in college.

It must therefore be absolutely flawless in every way. Every detail and every line of a creative script will refer to the main theme. Your approach should be exactly in a way to present your core message to your audience successfully. Even when your script is just for three or five minutes of animated video. Spend hours, or if possible, days, writing, rewriting, and editing the script until it is flawless. When composing an animated video script, keep the following in mind:

Forget your strengths and concentrate on what the customer wants

• Think about the length and keep it brief
• Try something new and astonish your audience
• Communicate clearly and attract attention
• Connect emotionally
• Engage in dialogue
• Streamline your main point.
• Personalize it, add humor, and tightly wrap it up

These are just some key points mentioned very briefly in order to write an engaging script. We will discuss more points in detail. The 3 main elements of a script are:

You will for sure need a storyboard through the process. Check out making a storyboard in 6 steps . 

Why Should Your Script be Animated?

Too many screenwriters have submitted their work to animation studios without having it in mind to write an animated story. The marketing of your screenplay should rely on something other than animation as a backup or secondary strategy.

But perhaps you should think about writing for animation. You should investigate animation’s benefits that animation can have for your screenplays and stories. The following are the top animation genre choices :

• Science Fiction Fantasy
• Book adaptations for kids
• Adaptations of comics

Even in the age of CGI, animation has the ability to bring these kinds of stories to life in a manner that live-action cannot. Creative and stylistic sights and imagery that wouldn’t translate well to live-action can come to life in this medium. And some that simply couldn’t be done in a live-action production. But there must be a justification. Your story must have a compelling argument for why it would work well as animation. Your script can’t only use animation as a marketing tool. You should decide what type of storyboard to use to make the most out of it. 

The ability to accurately represent the storyline and plot occurs for the first time while writing the script for a 3D animation. Writing a script for a 3D animation is a repetitious process that may require several modifications. The hardest part of the process is getting ideas down on paper.

However, early screenplay development aids 3D animation studios in the following areas:

• Keep everyone in agreement
• Fill in any plot flaws that may exist
• Character development in more depth
• Fix a sluggish flow of events
• Improved storyboarding

What Is a Good Script?

An outstanding animation script connects a video with viewers in the simplest, most natural, and direct manner possible. The best writers can therefore produce a script that originates in the mind. Here are four essential qualities of a strong script.

Easy to Understand Language

An excellent script can be written with basic English skills. An animation script’s goal is to make explainer videos as simple to comprehend as feasible. We’re not here to make learning difficult for students by using complicated dictionary terms.

If you can express academic knowledge in the learners’ vernacular, you will succeed. Simplify your terminology so that everyone, including those without prior knowledge of the subject, can understand the information.

Short Sentences

Keeping the content concise and using short, snappy words will help your students acquire the material fast. A snappy sentence can have no more than 20 words. If a sentence contains more than 20 words, attempt to divide it into smaller sentences. This will make the sentences easier to read. You don’t need to include complex sentence structures or big paragraphs because this isn’t an IELTS test or a school writing assignment. So try to bring your ideas to life by using short sentences. Animation ideas have the main role in motivating and assisting in bringing your vision to life.

Conversational Nature

As we’ve previously mentioned, natural writing, such as that which sounds like you’re speaking, works best for educational animation. Create a conversational tone in your writing by setting it. You may quickly create a realistic conversational script by writing as though you are speaking with your readers and incorporating your speech into your sentences.

Moderate Length

For animated videos, the length of the screenplay is equally important because it influences viewer engagement. The unfortunate reality is that the average human attention span is only 8.25 seconds. Keep your script brief if you want viewers to watch your animated film all the way through. An animated video should be 90 seconds long, which is equivalent to 200–250 words in a script.

How to Write an Awesome Animation Script?

Here are 5 key points about writing a flawless animation script, which are general rules, as follows:

Start with a Brief

Writing a script that directs the general course of your animation video requires several crucial steps, including briefing. Why should you start it off? Because of a short outline of the video’s main messages, primary audience, animation style, and learning objectives.

You must ask yourself a number of questions when drafting a brief to make sure that you are crystal clear on the desired learning outcomes. Make a list of questions and thoughtfully respond to each one to identify your main points. Then, as if you were in a real class, write down what you need to say. Your script will become conversational and fluid as a result.

Tone of Writing

One of the most crucial aspects of your animation script is the tone. As it stands, the sound in an animated video makes your course more exciting and engaging for students. The writers should always attempt to inject a small amount of comedy into the video when the subject being covered is dry in order to make it more entertaining. 

An educational animated video must, however, maintain its teaching intent while also being entertaining.  Animation is utilized to make entertainment that is enjoyable and not annoying. On the other side, the style of your voice-over and the tone of your video are related. Make sure the voice-over reflects your brand voice and your screenplay by taking this into consideration.

Story Telling

Human brains are always drawn to stories. Telling a tale through educational animation can turn academic tedium into excitement. Writing a screenplay using the scenario-based learning approach is the simplest way to describe storytelling. These are problem-solution scenarios with realistic material and relevant narratives.

A compelling tale with a strong message can captivate students’ interest, evoke feelings, and enhance learning outcomes. Additionally, it encourages students to participate actively in your course by sharing your video or attending additional classes on a regular basis.

Don’t Forget About the Call to Action!

The Call-To-Action tells your audience exactly what they should do after watching your course. Great educational animation can’t be efficient if it lacks a Call-To-Action (CTA). Your viewers don’t know what to do next, and you lose a chance to attract your learners to another course. Adding a CTA isn’t a hard task. At the end of your video, leave the screen for a few extra seconds and put a CTA there. A CTA can be whatever you want: subscribe action, visit our website or just an introduction to your new course. The inner machinations of writing for animation is an enigma to most, though this video will tell you tips not to forget. 

Review Session

Congratulations if you’ve finished writing a script! You did an excellent job, congrats! But it doesn’t end there. You still need to go back and read the entire script. By revising, you’ll be able to cut out everything that is extraneous or distracting from the point of the videos.

To modify, solicit feedback from your coworkers or pose to yourself some probing questions like these:

• Is it simple to read your script?
• Is it conversational and natural?
• The sentences; are they concise and clear?
• Will it convey the proper message?
• Is the story it tells relatable?
• The CTA—is it a logical connection?
