Those super fast time lapse videos on Instagram of amazing drawings and artwork are fun to watch.
1. Because I know they’ll only post them if the final product is cool.
2. Because I don’t have to do any of the waiting around. There are no boring parts. They go from a blank piece of paper to a masterpiece in under sixty seconds. Perfect, that’s exactly the amount of time I have to spare.
We all know the real reason those videos are fun to watch is because the artist did the hard part of getting good at drawing, iPhones did the hard part of getting good at taking time lapse videos, and Instagram did the hard part of making the platform that we want to get on everyday.
The hard parts take a long time.
The videos only take sixty seconds to enjoy.
And most people just want to enjoy the video.
