Make screen recordings look like camera footage

Zoom into the action and add a slight tilt so a screen capture reads as a shot rather than a recording, then break the sequence with phone footage of hands typing or sketching. Nathan Barry lifted the technique from a video company whose screencasts look like separate camera angles.
