Design for Librarians - video
I meant to post this before, but, well, I didn’t. This is the video I created for my Library Use Instruction class. I wish I could link to my classmate’s tutorials, because they were very good.

If you link over to the vimeo page, on the bottom right, you can download the full size Windows Media version. Feel free to do with it as you will.
I am a little ambivalent about this project. I think the concept was good, but I feel I could have illustrated my points more clearly.
I used CamStudio and I may have used recordMyDesktop to record the screen. I used Inkscape for the design of the flier, and Windows Movie Maker to put it all together. I also used Power Point for the slides (I just got Office 2007 and wanted to play) but I could have used Open Office Impress just as easily.
I started out trying to do this entirely with open source software, but settled for free (as in free beer) software. Video editing, unfortunately, still has a ways to go. But it is getting better- I have no doubt that soon I’ll be able to ditch Windows Movie Maker as well.

Karin, very nice video. I haven’t played with it yet, but I’ve been hearing great things about the Linux video editor Kdenlive (http://www.kdenlive.org/).
Wow, great video! I learned a lot.
PS My husband’s business partner has been talking a lot about them creating video games. I told him you’d be a good resource since you are a gamer and supersmart too.
I think the video is effective in teaching the basic elements of designing flyers.
