Demo/Training Video 1.0

Hello all,

Last week I posted this demonstration video to the group, and requested feed back. The demonstration is to be used as part of Kentucky Adult Education's new online course, "Orientation to Adult Education." My goal with the video was to make a demonstration video that would also train the viewer if wanted.

The idea came from KET Adult Education Multimedia Days 2012 videos. Presentations of 1.5 hours in length were put in their uncut, unedited state for the viewer to watch (my presentation gets derailed early and shows me getting it back on track). Since starting here in mid-December I have received at least a half-dozen requests for the video where parties have shared timestamps of pertinent information.

From the requests of that video, the viewing of unedited film, and the ability of the audience to watch, rewatch, share, and rewatch I devised this video. The overarching goal is to train a broad audience with one video. I think this occurs because of the video, the use of "bubbles," and the supplemental outline in the "About" section.  The vehicle used to acheive the goal was a video that takes a demonstration of technology in the classroom from basic to more complex.

The video itself has not changed, but the supplementals are what make it unique. Once again, there is an outline of the video in the about section. I did strategically use the bubbles, and provide a key about the bubbles. And an introduction video is given before the title card appears.

I do plan on making a version 2. Version 2 will have me speaking slower (maybe I need to work with a metronome), and work on the lighting. Also, I think you can tell a difference in video editing from the beginning to the end of the video - it was a learning curve.

The video is shot with 3 cameras - an iPod + Swivl device, a Flip Camera on Tripod, and Camtasia (recording the computer screen). The primary purpose of the Swivl device was to capture audio, I synced film to the audio and then kept only the Swivl audio. The video was edited using the Camtasia editing software. Bubbles were applied with YouTube's editing tools - allowing links to other YouTube videos. In order to link articles I had to make them part of my website (for some reason I can only link to my verified sites).

Anyways, for those of you who provided suggestions, thank you. If anyone has more suggestions please put them out there. If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them.
