One of the hardest parts of producing short-form video is keeping it short, especially when bridging some critical theory with technology and its impact on today's society. However, I believe I'm mastering the art of the short script.
The logs below were originally shared on my Instagram and TikTok. To make this content more accessible, I have translated the scripts into English. Please keep in mind that these are video scripts, not long-form articles; the language is intentionally direct and paced for the screen.
By clicking on a title, you can explore the script alongside the references used for each topic. Links to the original posts are also provided; while most are in Portuguese, the platforms' AI tools can usually handle the translation. If you'd like to use any of this content, please cite me! :)
