Recording the Dizzy DIY story time video for iPad
I must be mad doing this, but I really feel that ibooks, because of what they can do, should have added value, additional content. I’m trying adding a story reading in a video at the end. As this is a reader – with which I want children to learn to read, I’m not adding audio as you read or bouncy letters as you read along. I think that is entertainment and hinders the very difficult and and strenuous job of learning to read.
I’m adding another video explaining where the ideas came from and how to make origami paper plates that are featured in the book. ( I always loved the origami pages in Rupert annuals!)
I should probably use a script, but I’m a seat of the pants kind of guy, so you watch the process of building up the right introduction sequence.
In the meantime you can get the Ginger Ninja at the iBook store for your iPad at the following addresses.

Shoo, I loved watching this behind-the-scenes video, it had me laughing out loud.
I can sympathise with you so much on trying to make a home based video ‘suite’ work. The moving of the chairs, the repositioning of the green screen (I did exactly the same as you and put it on a roller blind and mine too is too small) and oh, the lighting!!! I don’t need to tell you, but you need a bigger room, lol.
It was also comforting (and very funny) to see you make so many takes. My wife, Heather always manages hers in one, she’s very clever like that but it takes me at least 4 or 5 to get it right.
I really do love your videos and this was just a wonderful insight into how you work. Thanks.
Peter
Yeeeeaaah, you got it. :-)
But, wait, can’t one hear the bus rolling in front of your house?
Thanks Pete, I love it when I get it right first time!
yes the bus and the trucks, lucy the police didn’t come by. My close up micdoesn’t pick itup so well :)
Shoo,
What a fab video.
I love watching the whole process – it’s so fascinating.
Peter makes me sound like a smarty pants.
I don’t get it right the first time every time.
Well, maybe, NEARLY every time LOL :-)
Keep up the good work.

Thanks, Heather. It’s great when you nail it in one!. doing it all yourself you have so many other things going on in your head!
Hi Shoo,
You’re right! I did enjoy this! Ha! Brilliant- the whole process. I am glad that you are so willing to let us in on it. I’m just guessing, but perhaps by the end of this video you wanted to go to your bed and stay there with a cup of tea and biscuits!
Thank you.
Renita :)
oh yes I certainly did and you know you Millie and Bombassa!
love the behind the scenes, re greenscreen…you need to be 6 ft in frotn of the greenscreen so no shadows fall on it, softboxes are good to light it like you have then you need additional lights to light yourself!…re sound have you tried a tie clip mic, this will give a much closer mic’d sound than that mic on the boom arm. All good stuff looking forward to more behind the scenes videos! steve g
