3 Great Links!

Was sent one nice article on How to do a training video the right way, and it lead me to 3 more.  So I shall share them here.

Do You Speak Video - by Mary Arnold

Producing Video in an Education Setting - by Megan R. Bell (no relation)

6 Steps to Creating High Quality Video Training - by Jeremy Vest

The common thread is that video should not be boring, but clients need to listen to their producer (and having a decent budget helps) to make a video both educational and attention-holding.

Common threads:  Plan plan plan!  Rehearse.  Keep segments to a set time that is not 1 hour.  Be very careful when using "real" people and "real" situations instead of on-camera professionals and scripted situations...at least use a detailed outline.

There's my post for today.  Just in case I don't get another up in time, may the Steelers lose badly in the only negative-scoring superbowl in history.  May the ground swallow up and crush Big Ben with the force of all the tackles he's broken.  And may the countless millions paid to referees by the Steelers over the years all be repurposed to finding a cure for cancer, or ending hunger, or something that is at least less frustrating than watching the GD Steelers win.
