Things I learned from making a youtube video for Microsoft
- Product making and product marketing are completely orthogonal skills
- It takes a village to create a youtube video - everyone chips in, creates stories, adds diverse content
- A script with clear narration and accompanying picture (storyboard) is the edge in video making
- There's no point memorizing the script by heart, safe to say, have a minto pyramid of ideas and remember the ideas.
- Ums and ahs will not be resolved by memorizing - smooth oratory requires pauses+minto+confidence+rolling out skills - also called storytelling.
