23 May 11 Tips for Making a Good Video Tutorial
Making a video tutorial and posting them on various video archive websites and social media networks is quite common these days. However, very few can create exceptionally good video tutorials meeting actual purpose of learning. Few basic tips can help you procure great video tutorials. Here are some simple tips for you.
High quality picture
What is very important for a video tutorial is its picture quality. Make sure picture resolution is high, with maximum clarity. Good finishing at the editing table is important too.
Subtitles, thought bubbles, supers
A video tutorial is never complete unless it has texts in forms of subtitles, texts in between scenes, thoughts bubbles, supers (text on screen) supporting the audio-visual input. People may think even a voice over (VO) can do the job, but it’s more effective and memorable when people read the same on screen. These supporting texts can do wonders.
Add some value to it
Don’t make just another video tutorial of no much substance in it. Make a video tutorial if you have enough knowledge of the subject, know it in-depth and have done enough research on the same before making the video tutorial. If you do not add something new to your video, no one will be interested in it.
Script has to be strong
No video tutorial comes out well, unless it has been developed on rock solid script. Don’t start a video tutorial without any script in front of you. It is the first step towards video making. Just special effects can’t do a magic to your video tutorial with no strong script in it.
Checklist at the end
Don’t forget a video tutorial remains incomplete unless it has a checklist at the end, summarizing the content communicated in the video. Checklist helps the audience to complie the entire content, to recall and memorize the main points and feel enriched.
Don’t make it dramatic
Always remember video tutorials are not films, or daily soaps. They don’t need acting skill or screen presence. Don’t develop a dramatic script, with twisted dialogues and pretentious moves. Keep it simple, straight on face, clear and substantial. At the same time, it shouldn’t be boring. Maintain the pace, neither fast nor too slow. Keep it conversational, interesting. Remember, it’s not entertainment, it’s information transmitted through interesting video with aids like live examples, demonstrations. Don’t forget its objective behind.
So what are you waiting for? Start with your video tutorial. Just follow these simple tips while making your video tutorial.

03 Apr 09 Is 3DTV Going To Replace Your High Def?
Now that HDTV has officially taken over, to the point that practically any income can find an affordable screen to meet their needs, I guess the industry is trying to push the next big thing. Likely only to try and get you to buy something overpriced and impractical, like most new technology. And now Samsung is no different, as the company plans to launch the first HDTV that’s also fully 3D. By projecting two images, one from the left of the screen and another from the right, and with the use of special 3D goggles, Samsung’s new plasma offers a practically three dimensional experience. Or at least it’s supposed to feel like one.
The only problem is initial reports have it that the ‘3D’ experience falls far short of anything that could possibly replicate true three dimensional filmmaking.
By now we’ve all seen at least one movie in the theater that features 3D, and usually it’s pretty cool, and most of the time you feel as though the images on the screen actually are three dimensional. But the problem with Samsung’s plasma screen, is that they are using content that wasn’t meant to be seen 3D, opposed to a film that’s specifically shot for such a purpose. Therefore most people describe the experience as being unintentionally nauseating. And considering how long the world took to embrace HD, I don’t think jumping into the 3D realm right away is a good idea.
But then the 3D revolution is always being talked about with television and films, where every few years the reports start about new jumps in 3D technology that will make 3D TV in your home the standard, but I fail to see a time when that’s actually going to work the way companies like Samsung hype.
Maybe when the day comes where your television will actually project a 3D hologram? Opposed to having to put on special 3D glasses just to watch TV.
