Introduction Video
To film this introduction, I used the back camera on my Samsung Note 10. The difference between the front-facing and the back camera was astounding. I also took Prof. Beem's advice and didn't watch myself during the recording which I also think made me act much more naturally in front of the camera because I wasn't worried about why my arms did that weird thing or the fact that I looked away from the camera.
So, it's time for a true confession - I did about 10 takes of this. Once I settled on a take that I liked, I uploaded the video to google photos (a cloud service I pay for) and downloaded it into Camtasia from there. I made the edits, but then as I was uploading to YouTube, I realized the video was in portrait mode. So I quickly re-recorded in landscape mode (and got better footage). From there, I edited the video on my phone using the built-in editor and uploaded it directly to YouTube. I will be doing that for short videos that don't require extensive editing from now on - it was so easy!
I've had a lot of experience with YouTube, so uploading the video was pretty simple.
