We’re just starting to record the video inserts for\u00a0a new online training course we’re developing. As I’ll presenting at the TCUK 2014 conference on on this topic,\u00a0I thought I’d take a few photos in case they come in handy\u00a0during my TCUK presentation.<\/p>\n

We record the presenter actually presenting the slides, as this results in\u00a0a more natural presentation style. The presenter sees the slides on the laptop, and we use the laptop’s camera for recording the video.<\/p>\n\n

Previously, we’ve recorded to\u00a0a white background, but for this course, we’re going to be using a green screen. We record the audio using a USB microphone and a digital voice recorder. This means we have two audio recordings of the presentation.<\/p>\n

The presenter sees a copy of the slides on the laptop screen, which he can progress through using a remote control. He also sees the script via a teleprompter on a tablet.<\/p>\n\n

The green screen (we use chroma-key to remove the background) is giving us more consistent results than having\u00a0a white background.<\/p>\n

It’s a comparatively low budget setup, and it\u00a0seems to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
