First Video

There is always a first for everything. This evening it was preparing a video for the blog post. I really had no intension of making it a post about this. It's not like I got up today and said "Doug, I think you should make an exploded view of a CMOS sensor and then make it into a video you can put up on the blob." Click on the video to take a look.

We were watching some evening TV when I wondered over to the compute [ Sidebar you Honor: The computer is still in the family room rather than the office as it is yet unfinished, but that would be another post all together.] and started pecking.

I had this scan of a CMOS sensor that I knew I wanted to include in a training slideshow I have been working on for some time. Why a training video? Two reasons; First it forces me to learn more than I need to about a subject, and secondly it might help someone else if I ever actually do some training which I would enjoy doing. Seeing as how I have been involved with some form of training for the past thirty one years.

Ok, Back to the video. I took the scan that I had and dropped it into Keynote (that would be the Mac form of PowerPoint only better) and proceeded to recreate the elements as separate groupings so they could be animated at a later time. All in all it took about two and a half hours to generate the slide.

It is now past bedtime so I am going to depart stage right.

Take care... Doug
