"How To" Video

The project we are working on now is quite simple. You are making a how-to video in the same style as CommonCraft.
  • You think of something you know how to do, say making a hero sandwich.
  • Then, you make a list of every step in the correct order. (This is the part that trips up most people.)
  • You plan out the images for the video with a storyboard.
  • Either draw or trace those images out in Photoshop and then print them.
  • Trace the lines with a marker and but each image out.
  • Video each step in the process by setting out the images one step at a time.
  • Record your voice saying the steps, one step at a time.
  • Edit and put everything together.
Viola the video is done. Very simple, once you start.

The how to video is hard man. You have to trace a picture using photoshop, then you have to trace more pictures. Then after you've traced all your pictures, you print them. Then you make a video using your traced pictures. I could not trace a picture to save my life.

First you need to have a pencil to sharpen you have to create images in your head and draw what you think is right
