Screencast of the Week - Red Gate, Down Tools Week
Posted on Sunday May 16, 2010 by Betsy Weber
After a short hiatus, 'Screencast of the Week' is back! And, we've got a fantastic screencast this week from Red Gate Software.
This screencast has everything! A balloon release, gun fights (no need to worry - they're nerf guns), music (from their resident band, Macca), a guy inhaling a helium balloon and singing, Red Gate employees eating lunch at 40 time speed and various people describing the many projects they worked on.
I love, love, love this screencast for so many reasons! I love seeing inside Red Gate - the culture, the fun, hearing their philosophies and how they work. They also made great use of many of the new features in Camtasia Studio 7 like sketch motion callouts, adjusting audio points/volume leveling, and the 'Camtasia bounce track (one of the free Digital Juice music tracks).
Curious about how screencast was made? Anthony Osborn, who created the video, will share the project file with you. Just get in touch with him via Twitter if you're interested. Thanks for sharing, Anthony!

And, I love the idea of a 'Down Tools Week' - give developers a week and see what kinds of interesting new tools and programs they can come up with! Anyone else doing this?
Nominations are open for next week's Screencast of the Week. Don't be shy - you can nominate yourself! Email, leave a comment or tweet me!

Well, it is very "advanced" screencast I would say. I think about 80% is "normal" video. But anyway, software is something we daily have to do with. So why don't combine it with normal videos.
Btw, I have a screencast of the week series in my blog too and look for nice german screencasts.
So, if someone knows good vids, contact me via comments / twitter (@wapr_) /email

That’s something to be proud of That’s a life you can hang your hat on That’s a chin held high as the tears fall down A gut sucked in, a chest stuck out Like a small
town flag a-flyin’ Or a newborn baby cryin’ In the arms of the woman that you love That’s something to be proud of That’s something to be proud of That’s a life you can
hang your hat on You don’t need to make a million Just be thankful to be workin’ If you’re doing what you’re able And putting food there on the table And providing for
the family that you love That’s something to be proud of”{Something to be proud of} Imagine me and you I do I think about you day and night It’s only right To think
about the girl you love And hold her tight So happy together
