Recording is a sightless alleyway - and I would disagreement your right near effort a lot of collection over in intelligent moment - unless youre speaking faster than I can feature, youre not. And videos that don't human a pre-prepared playscript and echt writing are unwatched online for echt intellect.

what is your feeling about video comments? upon seeing them on arringtons blog – i kinda felt like it was one of those many watershed moments for the web – game changer… pulls everything on level closer, pulls back the curtain on the commenter and opens up the opportunity for the commenter to shine… or not.

Video is a blind alley – and I would dispute your claim about getting a lot of information over in quick time – unless youre speaking faster than I can read, youre not. And videos that don’t have a pre-prepared script and good editing are unwatched online for good reason.

i know what you are talking about. My co-workers and I were creating some videos with Camtasia last week and it is extremely hard to concentrate on the camera while not looking at the script. Not to mention that none of us are actors and all were a little camera shy to begin with.

Putting a “face” on things helps when you are trying to build trust.

Maybe one of these days I will try adding a video comment. LOL

I tried for the first time putting a picture-in-picture camera shot of me into one of my Camtasia videos – the idea being that listeners could put a face to the name.

What I found hardest was looking into the camera instead of down at my script!

I would imagine that a picture-in-picture camera shot would be very useful for someone building instructional videos who wanted to include sign language for the deaf – but otherwise I think it could detract from the material, unless it’s just a brief introduction to the video.

It’s something that people will either love or hate. Personally I think it’s a great way to get a lot of information over to an audience very quickly.
