Ted

• ShinyWhiteBox.com
• 45 min, start to finish, Julia and Mark, wrote script over lunch
• no editing - it's just one take - this time took 15 takes, re-doing until feels like it's more or less right
• $20 per license
• shrunk down to youtube video size so it's hard to read - so maybe we need to increase font size on the screen
• it was a minute long - maybe shoot for 30 seconds
• topic of this one? "Intro to AboutUs"
• lots of ways this script could be improved or changed perhaps - Google.com could be confusing as an example
• I'm intersted whant it look like to publish the script so one of us or anyone could re-do, could re-do it in a different voice or whatever
• need to be not-logged in to AboutUs and also google
• record screen or window - you can set it
• you can set the start and stop hotkeys

Kristina's thoughts

• As stated, above font is small for YouTube box size.
• In the editing process if the thing that the mouse is point to could be highlighted somehow... red circle around it, kind of pulled off the screen and made bigger (hard to explain what I mean)... that would help. Like for the "ContactUs" link the "Useful Links" box could be closed, then opened and circle the link to "contact us." I think right before hitting the edit tab in this to highlight the many edit tabs would help people see them.
  • As I understand it, there is no editing. I haven't tried it myself, however. TedErnst (talk)
• I think the time/length was about right for what was being covered.
• All in all, I think it is awesome. The capabilities of a screen cast thing-y and audio go beyond what something like WikiAnatomy can offer for a beginner overview, walk you through it sort of thing... yay!
  • I posted this on my Facebook page - if that isn't cool let me know and I'll pull it.
    • I think it's great to use whatever means we have to get these things seen. That said, this one feels to me like an early draft. Maybe we just post it as "early draft" and it's fine? TedErnst (talk)

previous notes

Try to set up a vendor share, like Brandon did with OmniGroup.com by using Amrosiasw.com
