wait a minute, what purpose does the after shave serve? can't you just use toothpaste alone? this just seems like a silly way to get people to mix things from their bathroom together on a plate.

Check out IndyMogul.com. They post here sometimes. I imagine they have lots of tips to get you started. If you have a DV camera and computer, I bet you're 85% of the way there.

So, my more important question is: Do you have any good tips on shooting a digital video of a "how to" ?  I have so many I want to do, but don't really know where to begin.  Any good ideas?
