- How to write on glass and create videos for youtube.
Delivering educational videos is a great way to connect to your online audience, but with that come specific challenges. Most noticeably, how to keep your learners engaged.
My challenge was to create content for our online training courses which were as close as possible to the experience they would receive in one of our workshops. scopetraining.com.au/project-...
After a lot of trial and error, I have (at least for the moment) found a wonderful solution.
Through the use of a piece of glass I am able to record videos, whilst drawing just like I would on a white board in the workshop. In many of my earlier videos I was recording whilst writing on a whiteboard, however it was hard to keep my eyes on the camera.
Using this very simple method I can face my audience, write and not have to worry about looking away all the time. The feedback from my online learners is awesome, but please let me know if you have any suggestions or improvements. As it's always a work in progress.
It's 2am and I was getting really distracted as my tired brain tried to figure out if my professor was writing backwards; thank you for this, of course it's flipped!
I'm actually lol'ing because its 1:37am and I wondered how it was being done.
Lol here to add another comment at 2:30 am 😂 procrastinating cause I have a physics final tomorrow ...
2:07am xd
04:59am :)
1:25am haha
I was watching an instructional video from my professor and couldn't focus at all on what he was saying. I couldn't fathom how he taught himself to write in reverse the entire time. This video has brought me peace. LOL
same here bro 😂
I have been a math tutor for more than 20 years. Because my students sit across from me at the table, I have learned to write upside down and backwards. Due to COVID lockdowns, now a lot of my tutoring is remote via Zoom. I think I am going to implement this! Thank you for this explanation!
the video is still useful even after 5 years from posting it
THANKS A LOT
- Oh nuts!
> & here I thought the math instructor's videos I was watch writing on clear glass to me was marvelously Ambidextrous. & its all about camera flip.
- So, it now takes the WOW factor out of watching her always doing it so easily.
Youre talking about nancypi right?
@@yashdevsingh5071 Yes & others
For those of you who don't know who Dave Devall is. He is the Guinness world record holder as the longest running weatherman. 48 years on CFTO TV Toronto. He always did his weather reports using a sheet of glass with bright grease pencils writing backwards. Dave made it look easy.
Thank you so much😍💜
Now I can sleep peacefully at night 🤧
I love your project management videos and always wondered how you did that- thanks so much for sharing- it did not ruin the magic- please keep these videos coming
Thank you for satisfying my curiosity!
finally, someone answered it!!! thanks a lot
this takes away a lot of stress.
This was great, thanks for posting this!
Nic, nice work. Had guessed at basics, i.e. flipping vid post-production, but tips on cutting down on reflection very helpful. Many thanks from another online trainer. Well presented.
If you do two things, it would improve the quality of the video: use day-glow grease pens on the glass, and edge-illuminate the glass. The text will show up nice and clearly.
Thank you soooo much for this explanation. I actually am able to write backwards from childhood. But still, watching these videos distracts me so much, that I don’t even listen to the content. Thanks to you I think now onwards I can let this go and focus on the lesson 😆
Thanks because I was really confused from that writing type.
Thank you, this gave me a bunch of ideas!
You are my hero! Thank you for sharing.
How brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
thank you for this explanation, I have been wondering about it for a while
fantastic idea..thanks Nic!!
Now I get it. Thanks for telling me the science behind it.
thank you sooooooooooooo much ...i really wanted to know how this works....thanks again.
Same
Genius! thanks for sharing!
Thank you! This is lovely!
mirror idea was so analogue ☺
that is just too cool, thanks for sharing
I actually figured it out, then went looking for a video to confirm what I thought :)
Pretty fantastic!
Thank you!
*Pleased with Chalkboard I like that the frame is really wood and not fake. I have not used it yet, but I am not expecting any problems.*
Hii,very nice & informative video. I have a question related to audio, do we need external mic for this
Brilliant!!
Thanks. Like your setup. Simple and effective.
Thanks for clearing this up brilliantly ! I'm curious as to the size of the glass, and if it is a specific type of glass ?
The glass is just a standard window. 1200x900. Nothing fancy
Its amazing
How big should the glass be ??
and at what distant from the camera ??
Thank you Nic!! Best teaching view presentation ever! How do you hold up this glass frame with wood without it moving?
We made a sleeve, effectively framing the window.
Thanks bro, wonderful share
Thank you so much.
wow so help ful even a bet challenging
thanks for the this!@!!!!
Easy buddy have fun
Nick I want to try this myself as I love to draw as i explain too 👍 I would love to also incorporate a green screen into this so I appear solely on a black background. Just need to convince the wife with regard to the glass haha. Where will I store it? 😮
Thank youuu!!!
Tbh, i could never focus on what the tutors are actually saying trying to figure this out. I had an idea this was the way it worked, but I kept second guessing it
Hi! Your video is so helpful thanks! Can u let me know what kinds of lights are you using for the shooting? I have difficulties on lighting :(
Hey buddy, sure I am using 3 LED lights which I got from a friend and a construction (halogen) light. The lighting itself is tricky as you have to stop the light reflecting off the glass as it will be visible. I am travelling at the moment but you can kind of see the LED lights here: scopetraining.com.au/project-management/engaging-online-leaners/
Thanks mate
do you traverse the image like the selfie camera does ?
Would be nice to see a pic/video of the set up.
thank you!
+MyAuthenticVideos no probs at all, we have done a lot of trial and error so if you have any q's let me know
Awesome video! Is that a dry erase marker or washable marker?
thanks
A brilliant idea. But I would change the background for greater contrast. Would a white background work best?
100% Thanks Chris. This was about 5 years ago- whilst the principles are the same, in our current vids we use white background and def better contrast.
Ahhh got it!
Excellent video . I am a teacher and trying to get the best for my teaching strategies. Finance am very low however you make it very simple . Can you send me the schematics. Thanks in advance
Hey Hector,
There is a basic design here: scopetraining.com.au/project-management/engaging-online-leaners/
If you want more info shoot nic- nic@scopetraining.com.au
i am very good on creating online assessments and have done a degree from new zealand on designing and facilitating online learning level 5, as well as a course from virtual university for small common wealth countries. also i took part on storyline 2 training ,
Hey which are those markers???
Hi dear friend It's very helpful.Please tell me what was the camera to record this video??? Thanks
The camera used in this video is a Panasonic GH3. You can use a phone to do it- that's what I started with. One tip would be to choose a camera/lens etc that is black as that will reduce "ghosting" on the glass.
Thank You Very Much....
are u using dry erase markers???
Watching this at 2:45 am 😄🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you! Davinci Resolve is also a free video editing software :D
Woah , thanks , vrna ham coding blocks ke bacche confusion mei the ki kaise hora hai ye 😂😂
i saw alot of math youtubers do this and wondered how they can do backwards text
how to do this with live video?
Gonna start making videos just so I can do this
secret revealed, thank you 😊👏
I'm using dry erase regular markers but the are not visible. So are u using any led strip around the glass to illuminate it? And are u using a black backdrop or any other or u are simply recording against any background which is not illuminated. The site u refer to has very basic info where as ur videos quality tells that there is some trade secret that u r keeping from public
Hey, no magic. It's literally a pane of window glass on a home made wood frame. Nothing special. The markers the seem to work best are expo brand markers - but artline and other types of whiteboard markers are also fine. The background in this case is just a limestone wall, but in some of Nic's other videos on this channel he uses a white wall which is illuminated with standard LED lights.
This is so recursive!
joss
How come we don't see the camera on the video? Must be the camera is shooting at an angle?
Man, I search on "movie maker" in Microsoft store and gave up downloading apps with "movie maker" but no option to flip horizontally. Have you a link to the app you used please?
So movie maker it's a Windows product but support ended in 2017. You can still download - search for Windows Movie Maker 2020. Our team is now using Premier Pro; an Adobe product.
Please tell me that what is the name of this glass white board...
It's a window. Literally. Nic just built a frame around a house window
Now I Know How They Do It
Woah i was shitting my brains that if iam that dumb😑😑, I was like whatttt why it's not inverted. Than I started thinking maybe it's jst me who thinks wrong I was so embarassed asking to anyone. Thanks to solving this mystery
Damn... That's Cooool !
GOD Bless You My Life and a Goddess [If Have a Wife consider her be].
Okay! So this is how Nancypi writes backwards lol
how is it a whiteboard if it is a glass board
Curiosity is what brings you here!
Studying for my MCAT and I'm procrastinating. It's 4:23 am
I can't believe that my stupid ass thought all instructors needed to master the art of writing backwards :I
You're writing on glass. The Dave Devall way.
Windows Movie Maker rocks.
AHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH I COME FROM AN IBM VIDEO AND I LITERALLY COMMENTED ON HOW TF DID THEY DO IT.
Sometimes even if you are not statistically dumb, it seems, you can be dumb.
NancyPi youtuber does this HA!
4:00 minutes longer than it needed to be. "Look, I'm writing on glass. It's normal to me, but reversed for you." [flips video] "Now, with the video reversed, it looks normal to you. BTW, I"m not left-handed. Thanks for watching." 24 seconds.
*A*
is this your body
Play on 1.5x speed. This video could have easily been 90 seconds long. Great info nonetheless.
Best life hack ever
who came here after watching nancypi's videos
WTF I thought they wrote backwards.
Real powermove would be writing backwards
First ou have to write or learn to write reverse......
I prefer to watch on a white board. This setup is too distracting. I’ve started tuning away from videos that use the backwards writing on glass.
i find the transparent board cheesy and corny. It is outdated, it looks ugly, it is usually difficult to see clearly, it is distracting. It was a good attempt back in the time to TRY to improve communication. It has failed. I now think it looks ridiculous. A bit like Star Trek pyjamas in the 1960'S series. A normal blackboard in the end is much more efficient and looks more natural.
so basically you are writing on a glass and inverting it i the software.
why make it so complicated.
see thats why you are not getting subscribers.
write short and crisp scripts(very important).
then please stop making thuh sound.
what you can do is download a professional software and do a voice over on the software.
then you can even cut out the thuh sound.
and try to be more illustrative by giving some 3d pics or some normal pics too.
just try and take us into you.
YOu almost tricked me, but i'm too smart to fall for this.
Everyone knows that if you flip the video, you should be infront of the board, blocking the writing behind you, but its infront of you. How is that? The devil resides within you
Thank you!
