General considerations

  • Obtain a camera with HD resolution capability and zoom function.
  • Use a tripod or a mounting clamp to stabilize the camera.
  • Keep the camera mounted when recording in a given work space.
  • Provide ample lighting to the work environment, such as by turning on all lights on the room or by opening the shades on your windows.
  • Make sure to speak loudly to the camera so as to not mumble.
  • Record video to at least 720p resolution.
  • Use progressive mode (e.g. 720p or 1080p). Do not use interlace mode.
  • If your camera has an option for 60 frames per second at 1x playback speed with audio, you should use it.
  • Set back the camera far enough so the whole work space can be seen when the camera is zoomed out.

Handing the device

  • If you want to show something up close, bring it to the camera, or use the zoom function when recording.
  • In order to show the other side of the device, rotate the device. Do not move the camera.
  • After the many hours of effort of making a S.H.O. drive, you want to be sure that when you record video of it in operation that you can show that there is no hidden wire connecting to it. Therefore, make sure that the video recording device is far enough from the subject to show not just the top and bottom of it, but also some distance above, below, and beside it as well.

Sharing

  • When uploading to YouTube, upload the original videos unedited.
  • Some camcorders may split your video into separate files up to 4 gigabytes. You can use the YouTube Video Editor to merge them on YouTube.
  • If you are not sure about presenting the video on your video channel, you can set your YouTube upload to private or unlisted until you are ready to show it.
  • You may edit original videos, but do not cut the video too often, and especially do not cut the video in ways that may appear to others as hiding a trick. If you upload these videos, make sure to also upload the originals too.
