Thanks! Does that need to hook into your computer then to capture it? (I'm guessing yes if it's a webcam). I have a built-in webcam to my Macbook pro, do you think the c920 would be better? Seems like it picks up Audio pretty good too…

In reply to Steve. Thanks for watching Steve, especially since I don't have a cool Ausie accent like you. ;)

Paul, great video! Of course there's 10 different ways to shoot this video, however, I believe you picked an effective, efficient, time-saving approach. Well-done! The key to online video is quantity more than quality (quality referring to number of videos, not length; and of course, the content needs to be relevant still).
My goal is to be more consistent with video blogging too!
May I ask, what kind of video capture and/or camera did you use for this video?

In reply to lebrown86305. That's a great resolution! Not only will that reduce the clutter but it will also free you up so you're not making decisions on every item every week. Staff and volunteers will appreciate it because it won't seem arbitrary or unfair.

In reply to Diane. Thanks Diane. I should probably get a lapel mic so that won't be an issue.

In reply to Rosebrock. Thanks for the feedback. >>Why don't you print out your points in pages with colored readable fonts? I'll give it some thought, but part of the reason I'm doing videos is to save time and that would take time.

My main resolution in re: communication 2013 is to develop a decision tree to pre-determine what gets on the church website, what gets announced from the platform, what gets printed in the bulletin. We want to help people find the information they need, when they need it and eliminate the "clutter" on Sunday morning.

Great ideas Paul! Batch create and reuse are key. One other suggestion for quality – talk to the camera. When you turned to the board and spoke, it was hard to hear.

Hello Paul. You don't need larger whiteboard. Your writing is too small that makes it hard to read. But….whiteboard makes me feel like in a class….and it is boring, makes me sleepy. Why don't you print out your points in pages with colored readable fonts? It would look more interesting.
