Hi, I've done 1 video and I made it using voice-over. I chose this method not because it is any better than any other, but because my sound quality on the camera was poor. It ended up being a wonderful lesson in cueing! I wrote out the script, recorded my voice as I went through the sequence, then played my voice track to follow along as I filmed myself doing the sequence. I then went back and added the voice over using a better mic. It was a multi-step process and it taught me to be much, much more efficient with my words. Cueing along with the video means that there are chances of making "blooper" reels, but if you can get it in one take, great! What you say each time IS different, because your are responding to the present moment: the limitations of the students in your class, their energy, your energy, the environment, current events, etc. You have to let that go when you create a video. It's like capturing a rushing waterfall in a still photo. Take a snapshot of how you feel that day; be true to that moment. Remember that it is never going to be as multi-dimensional as your live class. I think music that is over 20 years old is considered public domain, but if you are looking to use something more recent, you must get permission from the artist to use their music in your video. Personally, I like videos that have the instructor speaking to the camera in a class setting with a variety of students. My favorite yoga tv show was one where the teacher had 3 students and each one would do a different variation of the pose or flow. The teacher addressed each student's issues (quickly, it was only 30 min) so the audience knew whether to use that modification or not. Very nice! Hope some of this helps. Good luck with the project! Namaste, Lorien
