Where to Produce the Videos
In-House• Cost:
– Already budgeted -- the cost of the employees
• Time to complete:– Generally two-to-four weeks.
– Management can re-prioritize
• Existing product familiarity.
• Production quality:– Depends on the creator
Video Production Company• Cost:
– Extra budget item, usually thousands of dollars.
• Time to complete– Depends on their schedule. Usually one-to-two
months
– Management can make anxious phone calls

12 @LavaCon
Our Processes
• Creating a script or storyboard– Step-by-step description of onscreen visuals.– Complete narration.– What we ask for:
• A step-by-step written demonstration and talking points
– What we usually get:• Technical papers.• Outline of features.

13 @LavaCon
Our Processes• Creating an Effective Script
– Know your audience and purpose– More than narration– Identifies issues with flow and pacing– Identifies “dead spaces”
• Create Scripts that are:– Short– Focused– Informative– Entertaining

15 @LavaCon
Our Processes
• Recording the On-screen Demonstration– Use the highest resolution you can.
• At least 720p (1280X720) but full HD (1080p) is better.
– Practice!

16 @LavaCon
Our Processes
• Record the narration– Do this separately from recording the demo if you are not the
SME.– Practice using your microphone
• Volume• Position of the mic• Get comfortable hearing your voice.
– Find a quiet location to record– Brush up on your speaking skills

17 @LavaCon
Our Processes
• Edit the video.– Our demos run on the fastest computer in the world!
• Perform a rough edit before adding your narration.
– Use each audio clip to determine what has to happen to the video• Cut any “dead air”
– Apply special effects sparingly.

18 @LavaCon
Our Processes
• Produce the final video project.– Use 720p HD or higher– We post to YouTube– Production settings will depend on your end use

Future Plans
• Measuring customer satisfaction– What keeps viewers watching?– What’s good and bad about the videos
• Training others to write & produce – writing is our current bottleneck in EPM
