Videos of a guy speaking while his shows slides are dumb. The slides are the story. The audio tells 
it, the slides show it. No human required (except it would be nice to have better-than-average sound 
guys running the board). The house system is actually a good place to make the vids for online --  
capture audio and projector feed at the same time to a Flash or MOV file.

I've always thought camera guys are a huge waste at conferences (no offense to the Beals, but it 
would be more useful to just have great audio matched to slides with great audio of the sound 
examples). Again, I don't need any filming of me speaking to slides. What would be good would be 
matching my audio to the slide I'm talking about, while I'm doing the presentation, so there's no 
work required afterwards.
