How to do this in 15 minutes
- Write one sentence: what the viewer should understand or do at the end.
- Record yourself on your phone, or start from a script in a video tool.
- Cut it to under a minute. Add captions so it works with the sound off.
- Export one version for the place you will actually post it.
