notes
- make the font size as big as possible in the browser
- make the mouse pointer as big as possible with universal access tools
- let's call the intro one done and move on to another one - the list of possibilities is below - as we make more, we can start to organize a VideoFAQ (Category:WikiAnatomy) as well as post them on the weblog as well as on the appropriate help page.
Second one

'questions and answers and learnings
Mark
- no editing - one take
- we were on version 15
- $20
- font size bigger so that when crushed donw to YouTube.com looks better
- minute long, make 30 seconds long?
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.
- 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!
