Creator's Notes:
Yes, there is a difference in the recording sound in the video. That's primarily because I didn't realise that the mic wasn't recording. Only after 2 hours did I figure out that I had to turn on another feature so that the mic could work with my phone :)))) but hey, you live and you learn. Even if

Yes, there are a lot of "mistakes" in the video but that's because I didn't want to shy away from the fact that this was tough and I made mistakes. Nothing is easy or perfect especially when you're building alone. Hopefully, this does away from your thought process, that your piece needs to be perfect before it sees the light of day.

Yes, I tried a few elements even they were exhausting to implement I'm sure when this channel is bigger and I have talented editors, they'll be able to give life to my vision a lot better. I wanted to do a lot more with the video but with my limited resources this is what I could do. Not an excuse, rather a promise that the content will keep getting better.

All in all, it was fun deep-diving into Franz Kafka Biography; Kafka's life, Kafka's works and discovering the "Kafkaesque" meaning for myself. This video isn't a literary analysis or an author biography perse, it's more of - trying to understand who was Franz Kafka? why is Kafka important? Franz Kafka early life, Franz Kafka father relationship, Franz Kafka personal life, Franz Kafka health issues that formed Kafka's meaning of life. Which then flowed onto paper as Franz Kafka writing style via ordinary ink. An ordinary act that made Kafka's influence on literature immortal and unforgettable.
