a single source, nothing corroborates it
Drop the voiceover so you can film anywhere
Without live narration a promo video no longer needs a silent room, which is the thing that makes shooting hard in the first place. Nathan Barry captured half his screen segments in a hotel, an airport and on a flight. He then licensed real music, because a video with no voice needs something to hold attention.
The method
- 01
Cut live narration from the video entirely and you no longer need a silent location, which is the real reason video shoots are hard.
- 02
Record the screen segments anywhere, including a hotel room, an airport and a flight, once you have decided not to use live audio.
- 03
Licence real music, since a video without narration needs it to hold attention.
What it returned
Half the screencast shots were captured in QuickTime while travelling
Found tracks on Marmoset Music, available with or without vocals, auditioned against the rough cut

No roundup of links, no news. Three tactics more than one builder arrived at separately, with the numbers each one returned and the disagreements left in.
