recording begins
Well after almost a full weeks worth of meddling, script writing, and the addition of wormholes to RIsk I’ve finally managed to begin filming my screencasts. As things turned out I quickly realized how useless my scripts actually were, and quickly reverted to “winging it.” Since I intend to down the screen captures I don’t exactly need to worry about screwing up, simple pause, and start again. I have to admit how alien producing a screencast feels for me in general and as part of GSoC. Today I managed to record my advanced screencast and my map making screencast. Since the train is now rolling I see no problem in recording my basic screencast tomorrow. For everyone’s entertainment I have uploaded to youtube the uncut/unedited recording of my advanced screencast; please let me know if the panning is too jumpy, the recording is short enough I can redo it with some different configuration to clean that up.
Other than that I am a little confused about how good the screencast needs to be. I don’t want to seem like a schmuk getting tongue-tied on film, but does the odd slip-up here and there ruin the entire paragraph? Please let me know what you think…
EDIT: OK, so the audio is pretty quiet, and it sounds like I’m blasting off to somewhere. I’ll probably rerecord the audio with better audio, unless I can clean it up.
