# How to turn an infographic into a video
Emily Bartlett Feb 1, 2022 2:01:24 PM
Ever created a great piece of content but wondered if you could do more with it? We're seeing a trend for turning infographics into stunning scribe videos. Here's how you can too.
The fascinating video below was made with VideoScribe by the [Smith Business School](http://www.smith.umd.edu/) at the University of Maryland.
What's interesting about 'Where Money Comes From' is that [the idea has also been explained with an infographic](http://www.rhsmith.umd.edu/files/Images/SmithBrainTrust/cash2.pdf).
## Recycle your content as whiteboard video
Turning an infographic into a video is something that Scribey award winner David Barneda knows all about.
When we asked where the idea for his [How to Throw a Boomerang](https://vimeo.com/barneda/how-to-throw-a-boomerang) [explainer video](https://www.videoscribe.co/en/Explainer-Video?__hstc=118964182.30333b1e63e645d3a1028199e6874292.1562065580496.1577965272380.1578662482593.130&__hssc=118964182.31.1578662482593&__hsfp=300291012) came from, he said:
> I'd done an infographic poster on how to throw a boomerang and I thought it would make for a good video.
We're excited that you're using VideoScribe this way - because it's how we use it too.
## 3 tips for turning images into animations
Our illustrator Kate made a brilliant infographic to explain why whiteboard animation is great for marketing. And then she turned it into this stunning scribe:
We asked Kate how a pro turns a series of drawings into a animation. Here's what she said:
1. How could you surprise your audience? With humour? Puns? Visual metaphors can be more interesting than a literal representation of the script.
2. How will you string the images together? Try arrows or wiggly lines. This keeps the viewer's eye on where you're going next.
3. Finally, a bit of awesomeness. Could you zoom out to show that your images actually form one larger picture? All you need is a little planning. Do a quick sketch before you make your video, and keep referring to it as you go.
