A few months ago, an out-of-state friend asked me to submit a presentation to their PowerPoint party. It should have been simply pointing the camera at myself and a screen, but instead I poured 30 hours into writing a script, multiple recordings, gathering media, and editing to produce a mere five minute video (the presentations had a time-limit thank god i would have kept going). It was fun! And now I have a new found respect for people who make YouTube essays for a living.
