Amazing effort. I've already started working with Reflector and ScreenFlow for our app demo, but the tip regarding After Effects and the device model is handy.

Worth noting that in iOS 8 you can capture video direct from device, and don't need to resort to something like Reflector (and the lower quality AirPlay stream that that entails).

If you plug an iOS 8 device into a Mac running Yosemite it will show up as an available input in Quicktime, and you can make a screen recording direct from there.

Wow. Awesome.

Just as a data point for poor indie devs like me - for my own minimalistic app demo video (http://www.mindscopeapp.com), I created a bridge over my iPad using my kids' Duplos, stuck my iPhone 4S on top, made sure there was enough light, and recorded me using the app for a few minutes. I then edited the video with iMovie on iPad and wrote a quick little doodle on Garage Band as the music.
