Cool project. Here's some OT: where do people learn to make these videos? Fast paced but calm narration with chill music and sped up action mixed with regular speed. It's a matter of consuming a lot of this content until the form clicks, or you need to go to influ-school?

No influencer school, no video experience whatsoever actually

I watched TONs of youtube videos growing up and I guess I took inspiration from what I liked in each: fast pace, always shows what you are talking about on screen (no talking head), include tiny projects in the main one, explain the science, use an intro to captivate and an outro to nail the point, use music to drive rythme

I film and record audio with just my phone

Thanks! That kind of makes sense. It's always interesting to me when I see patterns that make videos work well, and I usually have a lot of questions about the production.

Another question that I hope is not disrespectful: does PCBWay and JLCPCB pay for brand placement during the video or was it just a tribute from your side?

Man iphones have come a long way

My wife has worked in marketing for years and setting up photo shoots/video shoots has changed massively. A huge amount of the video and pictures that don't require a specialized lense are just done with feature phones these days.

Yo. You have to make videos. Then, seeing videos that you like, you secretly try to “steal” those ideas you articulated.

Just don’t tell anybody you’re a copy-cat.
