Video construction ideas

I wasn't able to finish the videos to be submitted on time. Not really surprising, and may have been for the best, since I was on point for leaving the country.

I'll write down some ideas I had for the videos, and maybe they'll come in useful later.

Origami video:
- Intro with title. Pictures of To the Moon game. Small clips of failed rabbit and chucking away the model multiple times to make people feel better about the fact that they have to retry it
- Show paper and explain choice of having paper which is differently coloured on both sides
- ...
- Conclusion - Ask for feedback and things to improve on, and what videos they want to see. Don't bother subscribing

Time complexity video: Binary search on an intuitive level and gloss over logarithmic complexity (but mention it briefly)
- Context: Programs are fast in modern times but still lag, and we need to make them faster
- Demonstration of how a program takes longer with larger numbers
- Normally it doesn't matter: demonstrate multiplication
- Binary search on an intuitive level. Gloss over the logarithmic complexity but don't really mention it.
- Challenge: exponentiation: how do we find a**n in less multiplications?
