I made a new video!
It’s been too long, partly because these videos are super time consuming. First, I must record them. And since I make many mistakes, I have to record several takes.
Then I must edit the video into one coherent piece. This is sometimes easier said than done.
Then I have to create all the graphics with text and insert them. Then add text and emojis. Sometimes music.
Then I save the video, which takes a while. Then I upload the video to YouTube, which also takes a while. And too many times I get an error message and have to upload it again. Then I must edit the YouTube video’s page to add links and keywords, etc.
Regardless! Here is my second installment of The Map Lady, in which I explore J. K. Rowling’s Marauder’s Map.
Are you familiar with the Marauder’s Map? What fun concepts from this map could you incorporate into a story of your own? I love the idea of a magical item that tells my characters were people are. I also love that it can only be used by those who know the right words to activate it.
