Read on, as I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Hi there, I’m Nadya Nathan from Vue Solutions and I still remember that feeling the first time a client asked me to create not just one video but a video series for them.  It was one of dread and yet at the same time I recognised that this was an opportunity for more work, so I couldn’t turn it down…could I? Although I’d been delivering face-to-face IT Training for years, my internal conversation went a little something like,… oh no, I don’t even like being in photos, let alone being on video.  Will I need to appear on screen or will people just hear my voice?  I don’t know the first thing about creating videos!  Ahhh!

So, what did I do? I turned to a friend and colleague, who spent the morning with me showing me how she used Screencast-o-matic to create system training videos, and then I spent the rest of the day, home alone creating my first video.  You know who you are so, thank you.  Since that day, about 5 years ago, I’ve gone on to use Screencast-o-matic and other tools like Camtasia to create several training videos for clients, charged at hundreds of pounds per 2-3-minute video. 

Why am I telling you this?  Well it’s because several people have approached me, asking if I can take them through the process I use to create screencast video tutorials.  So guys, this is for you and anyone else who's interested.  In this primarily video-based course, I’ll take you through the entire process from deciding on the topic of your how-to video tutorial, to scripting, recording, editing and producing it using Screencast-o-matic.  It’s my intention to share with you the lessons I’ve learnt along the way that go beyond the instructional how tos and touch on the whys.  I hope to inspire you to create training videos that are focused and engaging; and have created this course in a way that will have you putting what you’ve learnt into practice as we go through each module.  This means that by the time you get to the end of the course, you’ll have achieved your goal of creating your very own bitesized screencast video and can move on to create videos for your audience.
