No hours of editing until perfection. Just, let's capture the moment. No rehearsal either. Just click record and go.

It was very liberating for me to create a screencast like this -- no storyboard, script, no retakes. The script can detect the Flash plug-in in all major web browsers (on Mac and PC) and is designed to make embedding Flash movies as easy as possible. You can capture and narrate in snap. That's the only thing missing.

The other thing I've been practicing lately is not scripting out word for word what I am going to say, but be a little bit more improvisatory. The scripts aren't scripts, but outlines. In order to do this, I decided not to use slides and so I could engage more with people in the room. The actors improvise their lines.
