How to make a Draw My Life[]
A "Draw My Life" video is created using footage of drawings created by the narrator for their story. Typically, this is done with a whiteboard and dry-erase markers. Other equipment would include an overhead camera to film the illustration taking place. During editing, the video of the drawings is commonly sped up in order to match with commentary that would also be added in during this stage.
