However, Steve King's advice is pure gold. You are doing
yourself and the future of your product(s) a great disservice
if you brush off his suggestions. Producing a *good* and
*effective* instructional video for something like this is not
trivial and it would be remarkable if a rank amateur could
pull it off. You are treading on trecherous ground in areas
where you don't know what you don't know. Read that last
sentence again carefully if necessary.
