A video isn't such a bad idea

Hi Guys!

I think the You Tube idea is a great way for us to promote the book club. However, I understand that not many of us want to put ourselves out there in a movie. SOOOOO how about this as a way to promote the club, without having to display our faces across the Internet.

We each create a movie, using movie maker, and then add narration. That way we can use an avatar as the face visitors see. I'm happy to make the movies, if you send me an audio file of your recorded book comment. Audacity is a great recorder. It's free, and easy to use. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

I rather like the idea of trying to capture the essence of the books we review in 10 words. We still write our articles, but we add the 10 word Essence Capture as well.
What are your thoughts on this?


Cheers, Suzanne.


PS Christine is in Melbourne until Friday March 7. She is still checking her emails though, so please write to her, or to me, and let us know your thoughts on this idea.

If you want to view more Nerd Fighters Book Club videos, just go to You Tube and search for nerdfighters book club - they have published loads.

Just a reminder. When you create a narration audio file you need a decent microphone. The computer's internal one just isn't good enough. A headset is great and they reduce around sound pickup.
