So one thing I’ve always loved is when people talk about things that they are really interested in. Even if it’s not something I care about, I think people speaking passionately about a hobby, or a book series they’re into, just something that they do or participate in or a type of culture they consume (preferrably not political) is really interesting to hear about.
My idea for a video would be kind of a round table of people, probably like 5 of them. One person would go to the front of the classroom and explain in detail to the other 4 about their hobby or interest, could do a powerpoint, could use a whiteboard but just from the start to the beginning explain something you’re interested in and are knowledgable about in as much detail as possible, and then the next person would explain their topic and so on. It’s kind of like Drunk History (minus the drinking to excess) but just people talking conversationally about something they have an intimate knowledge about.
I’ve been to powerpoint parties where people give powerpoints on something dumb and it’s just kind of fun to hear people give presentations that aren’t for class or homework or business. It’s just about this comic series I really loved as a kid or my favorite album and the story behind it. It’s not a super groundbreaking idea but at the end you could incorporate that ranking system where people could rank either who was the best presenter or if you picked a specific category (like movies) people could rank which descriptions they thought were most convincing in having them be interested in their choice. I think it sounds pretty fun to do, you could incorporate questions and make it interactive too, just to have some fun with it.
