All in all, I'm glad I published this video to celebrate a success story and I inpsire hope during such a crazy time.

Original 2-minute Facebook video post
These are the five questions I ask myself every time before I make a video. It's also a similar set of question I ask myself every time before I engage in any critical form of communication. While none of these words appear in the script these are the thinking that drove the script.
My goals behind the video.
7th grade. That's the level of English needed to comprehend my video. Given the global nature of this video, using simple English is a must.

One of the algorithmic loop hole I seek to exploit to reach the most people is that Facebook favours content that are rapidly shared. One of the best way to distribute this video is to post it in relevant Facebook groups with a call to action to engage in the comment sections. Before I left for conscription, I made sure to post it in at-least 5 relevant Facebook groups.

A well created piece of video can help your business reach millions of people. This video is created as part of NasAcademy Content Creator 30-day course. While I am product designer, certain problems are better alleviated by storytelling. As a UX designer, this project has helped me developed a deeper undestanding of words and how to use them for better stories.
While I could have exploited Facebook algrorithm more by being active in my comment section, the day I posted this video was the day I was due for conscription.
