One Full-Day Screencast of Twiggy Design
Mr Mike Kus, our esteemed designer, is recording his screen during the entire design process of creating and building Twiggy (our mobile widget).
He’s already uploaded Day One for you to enjoy (in HD!). It’s 2x real-time so that you can actually watch his design process and (hopefully) pick up a few tips!

Really great to see, I wish Vimeo had speed controls though.
Lucky for you the Safesearch off didn’t yield too much filth

Mike’s a great designer. Nice work man. What are you using to capture your screen?

How long does it take to upload a 4.34 hour HD video to Vimeo? How big was that file? Also, kudos on the design thus far! Mike is amazing!

Nice work Mike.
It’s great to see how fellow designers work. I like the fact you have only done 2x speed so we can see it really take shape. This is how I wished you’d done Matt week.
By the way, what software did you used to capture the screen to get a 4 1/2 hour movie down to just 338mb?
Great week again. I look forward to seeing the final design.

Is it just me that finds it weird that Mike is using Google Images? He doesn’t even bother to check if the images he’s taking are not copyrighted, he just uses them as he sees fit.
I wonder how Carsonified would feel if someone else just took a bunch of their images for his/her website.
Other than that, great video! :)
