While they&#8217;re intended to promote a business, product or service by explaining what it is, how it works and how to use it, there&#8217;s a huge difference between the videos people love and the ones they turn off after 15 seconds. This session takes you into the world of creating screencasts and explainer videos. We&#8217;ll show you why the good ones are good and the bad ones are cringeworthy. We&#8217;ll cover topics like storyboarding, script formulas, animation software and sound tracks. When we&#8217;re done, you&#8217;ll know your options for creating your own screencasts and explainer videos and what to look for if you want to hire someone else to do it.<\/p>\n<h3>Get ready for this session with great content from Shane<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.platformgiant.com\/known-the-four-secrets-of-industry-experts\/\">How To Be KNOWN \u2013 Four Secrets from Industry Experts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.platformgiant.com\/how-to-resonate-with-your-audience-todd-henry\/\">How to Resonate with your Audience<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Shane Purnell<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shanepurnell.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2694\" src=\"https:\/\/2018.kansascity.wordcamp.org\/files\/2018\/03\/shane_purnell-200x200.jpg\" alt=\"Shane Purnell | WordCamp KC 2018 Speaker\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kansascity.wordcamp.org\/2018\/files\/2018\/03\/shane_purnell-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/kansascity.wordcamp.org\/2018\/files\/2018\/03\/shane_purnell-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/kansascity.wordcamp.org\/2018\/files\/2018\/03\/shane_purnell-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kansascity.wordcamp.org\/2018\/files\/2018\/03\/shane_purnell.jpg 314w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>Shane Purnell is an experienced IT Professional, podcaster, and voice over artist.
