Down to the Audio Recordings for Dorico
🕑 Added 2020-02-23 22:07:25 +0000 UTCMany of you have asked me to go into some more detail about my process for making videos so I thought I'd record myself reading a first take for the intro to my new Dorico video.
For these software review videos, which are the toughest ones to make, I generally get my script nailed down and all my research, video capture and artwork complete before I start recording audio. It makes editing much faster, which allows me to focus on pacing and flow.
For other videos, my process can be much looser than this. I might record some audio first and piece together a more coherent story later in editing.
With software reviews, I find I need to have a solid narrative nailed down at the outset, otherwise the video will end up a bit like an incredibly long list of 'good' and 'bad' features, which would be like watching paint dry.
This is shot on a webcam by the way. I'm planning on putting myself in this video for a few moment too... so in a way this is like an early screen test.
Watching myself back, I find it interesting to see how much I gesticulate while speaking. I don't really do that as much when I'm being... normal.

I don't think you can mention Dreamweaver twice in a row without obligating yourself to make a video on that.
I'm glad I am not the only perfectionist here! I'd love to hear your view on the phrase "done is better than perfect"! Thanks for posting these though, as it's great to see behind the scenes. I'd love to see you do a video on why you hate Dreamweaver. But I suppose, where do you start?!
