Making Coconut Oil

Around a month ago I decided to make some coconut oil from scratch. This is a video I made to document this little project. It’s more of a record of the memories I have of making the oil rather than a step-by-step process video.

The most time-consuming part of the process was removing the coconut meat from the shell. It took me the best part of an afternoon for just four coconuts! Next time I hope to have some better tools for the job, which might make it a bit easier (and quicker!)

I wrote the music for the video using a music composition app called Notion. Basically, instead of writing notes on manuscript paper with a pencil, you can write the notes onto digital manuscript paper so it looks a lot tidier. I don’t use AI to create any of my work and I don’t use ready-made beats or samples. I just transcribe what’s in my head onto the manuscript “paper” and by the magic of the software you can hear the notes (and add the music to a video). Hours of entertainment! You can hear more of my music on my art website.
