Final screencast in my series on upgrading the Portable Life Support System pack prop for "Lunatics!" ep. 1 "No Children in Space", after a two-week hiatus.

This was a prop added at the last minute to solve some problems with the "Suiting Up" sequence.

I've shifted a little away from the "real time" concept with this video. I've switched to doing a more conventional screencast with some acceleration, and then providing voice over commentary, which I think works much better.
