A) The Hollywood Movie B) Home movies to document something important.

After thinking about this for a while, I boiled it down to two metaphors.

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.

I created a storyboard with small scenes. I found that I don't like reading a script word for word, so what works for me is bullet points.

If you're making a screencast, and you end up having a vertical monopoly on the process (you write the script, do the filming, operate the mouse, do the editing, and produce it), you need to become a super learner. I didn't know the software like the back of my hand. And, to make it more daunting, I'm hardly a database expert.
