The Visual Lounge lets you find out about TechSmith behind-the-scenes. Watch screencasts and videos from other customers, meet up with your fellow TechSmith users and staff, and get more tips and tricks!

It's that time again! Episode 3 of The Forge is coming up next Thursday, November 4 at 2pm EST. We'll have a very special guest joining us, Daniel Park from dappertext. He wrote the book about Camtasia Studio and has trained people to screencast around the world.

To tide you over until the next show, check out this interview that Matt Pierce, our Customer Engagement Manager (and The Forge host) did with Ellen de Vries from Brighton, UK. Ellen runs The Copy House, and is a copywriter and brand language consultant. Matt sat down with Ellen at the Skiff (see pics here), a co-working office that Ellen works in.

Ellen talks about her process for creating scripts and how she works with clients. Ellen also talks about some of the challenges that she's faced creating elearning projects. She also shares here tips on storyboarding and scripting for screencasts. The video runs 6:52 minutes.

Tune in here on the blog, November 4 at 2pm EST to watch Daniel live (stream and chat room will be embedded in a blog post) on our November edition of The Forge. I'm sure Daniel would be happy to field some questions at the end. Can't join us live? We'll also post the recording.
