A steady camera aimed at the speaker for the duration, plus a bit of editing to alternate segments of that with slides or short video clips that were presented, is all. I've seen videos of this type that were very slickly done with the editing having taken a few hours of one guy's labor on a mid-range desktop computer.

Assuming you end up hosting on Youtube that is), it's $400 per *video*. So $400 wouldn't be the pledge amount. It would be the *target* of the kickstart for making a single video. :) A target so low that offering DVD copies to anyone who chipped in a twenty would get you to it if twenty people were interested enough to buy DVDs at that price. (And the cost of burning and mailing a few DVDs would be only a few more dollars.) -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
