I saw this:

I see what you mean with the Andromeda example.

Basic short videos to educate the casual reader who doesn't know as much as the hardcore fans, to help get them up to speed.

It helped when I realized you meant quick videos on the scale of 1 to 5 minutes.

I made a list of videos I can make about "Trending" topics heading in to Season 7:


 * 1 - Dragonstone & Daenerys
 * 2 - Dragonpit in King's Landing
 * 3 - R+L=J: Is the Bastard of Winterfell really a Bastard? (Who rules Winterfell, and JonSa)
 * 4 - Jon Snow's real Targaryen name? (the saga of Jaehaerys II)
 * 5 - Cersei, Jaime, and "The Valonqar"
 * 6 - Tysha & Tyrion's long-lost daughter?
 * 7 - Gendry's return, & the Dragonseeds
 * 8 - Arya, Kinslaying, and the "Reverse Red Wedding" (Will Arya really kill all Freys, including Edmure's newborn son, her own first cousin?)
 * 9 - The Iron Bank and the Golden Company
 * 10 - Euron Greyjoy's Plan, Dragonbinder, and the Woman with Pale White Fire
 * 11 - Who is the Night King? (Just mentioning when I asked GRRM and he gave a cryptic response)
 * 12 - White Walkers, Wights...and Ice-Spiders?
 * 13 - What's going on with Dorne?
 * 14 - Alys Karstark, aftermath of the Battle of the Bastards
 * 15 - Why didn't Sansa tell Jon about the Vale army? & Sansa Season 8
 * That was the hot question that went viral after the end of Season 6, Vulture even ran that headline about it.

I am not a professional video-maker.

What I'm going to do is make ''rough drafts' of these quickly, mostly focused on the actual audio script. I can't make stuff on the scale of that Andromeda video.

Also there will be points when I put in title cards with a screenshot that say "insert footage from episode 6.5 here" etc., because I can't put footage into videos for legal reasons, etc. but you guys have a department for that. But I'll make do with screenshots - i.e. I put a still image of the Night King in the rough draft, with the understanding that this would be a clip later.

It's a different experience to make something concise, liberating almost. The general audience doesn't need to know as much as a heavy analysis video.
