- add visuals to slide show
- present slides with ad-libbed narration and record audio
- transcribe audio onto copy of outline, aligning headings to slides
- revise transcript
- revise slides; make simultaneous updates to transcript
- present slides again while reading transcript and recording audio
- edit the audio to remove filler words and pauses
- combine audio with slides into video for online distribution
- expand transcript to become article
- revise article
- revise slides
- record a “final” video (optional)
Estimation¶
Once the outline is made, analysis has been completed, and visuals are created, then a rough time estimate for the rest of the project can be calculated. Each slide implies 32 minutes of work, so the number of hours to estimate is num slides / 2.
Unknowns¶
- outlining: how well is the subject matter known?
- analysis: how much work does this entail?
- visualizing: how complex are the goals for the visual?
Known quantities¶
- stock images: 1 slide takes 5 minutes to locate a suitable image
- presentation: 1 slide takes 1 minute to present
- transcription: 1 slide (1 minute of presentation audio) takes 6 minutes to transcribe
- transcript revision: 1 slide takes 10 minutes to revise
- article draft: 1 section takes 10 more minutes to revise, add citations, etc
