1. Make notes and collect pictures
  2. (If you intend/need to use zooms/pans) Put the pictures into some format where they will stay put — perhaps just go ahead and get the zooms “saved as” to a different image.
    1. how much resolution will we lose by just filming at something very big, zooming to 100% resolution, then saving the entire thing back down to something smaller for the web?
  3. Get the video camera set up for PIP filming
  4. Begin screen-capture recording in Camtasia, using the desk microphone. Simultaneously record with video camera.
    1. Compare audio from video camera to the audio from microphone
    2. If the audio from video camera is lame, then kill it in an initial editing pass, then bring it into the new video as ??
    3. Also clip off the excess in beginning and end
  5. Now bring the PIP into the main video clip and synchronize them.
  6. Now edit out dead sections so that both videos get edited together.
  7. Check that synchronicity is maintained.
  8. Add bullet lists, title screens, etc.
