My hands as a YouTube personality

[james]

Dave, you are so welcome to help.

If you want to shoot video on any WFO topic, you can send to me with a file sharing service (we use Pando), and I will produce it and post it to YouTube and FB.com.

Let me know if you want to give it a shot! :-)

Other good topics would be (hand-) kneading dough, and shaping bread, slashing it... and everything else pertaining to that.

I also agree with Krosskraft that it would be nice to have more advice on how to use more of the residual heat. Not necessarily on video (though why not?) but I would appreciate lists of things you can cook at different heats - a chapter or thread or whatever each on things that work at 260, 230, 200, 180, 170, 150, 120, 100, 80, 50 C. Searching the recipe threads for a particular heat is a bit difficult.

I would also suggest that as we may migrate these videos to DVD that you shoot in the highest quality that you can and edit down for internet posting.

Good idea JW. That is one thing that iMovie does well. You produce the video, and then can publish it in a range of different qualities, from Internet to HD DVD (though I don't have an HD camcorder yet).

I will make sure to do that.

Frances, some of those already exist from CannuckJim. Jim did some excellent video on bread technique. There are here:

I had no idea those were posted, glad she asked! James & Jim, thanks for making those. Are some of them supposed to be without sound?

I would also be interested to see the baguettes/torpedoes after proofing & being slashed.

Also maybe a chronological vid of how your dough (bread or pizza dough) should look & feel at the various stages; first mixed, first kneading, before shaping, after proofing, etc.

(felt a bit stupid at first, because of course I knew about Jim's bread films...)

My tripod arrived in the mail today. We're getting close...
