Revisiting video on & off line - iShowU

I'm preparing for the Avanca | Cinema art, technology, cinema conference in Portugal this coming week. My paper on Pervasive Media and Film will be the first in the English-speaking  panel on the opening day, so not much opportunity to check out laptop/internet connections. So I thought it time to try out the screen capture software recommended by Martin and make some off-line PC compatible (fingers crossed!) videos of the work I'll be talking about.
I gave the free trial a couple of goes and was very impressed with the quality, adaptability and ease of use, so have purchased the standard version (no need for HD just now). So far very impressed with the service, website and software, would totally recommend iShowU from shinywhitebox, a New Zealand based Company.
I'm trying out their online publishing, but thought I'd also put the video just captured here as a pleasant reminder of the project I completed a few months before starting my PhD, e-merge_a filmmaking mediascape, for Birds Eye Film Festival at the ICA, for walkers in St James's Park.

Here's the iShow-U hosted version:

(NB the version below has been re-compressed for web to meet the 100mb limit for blogger uploads)

More short films edited together in situ in response to individual audience walks can be explored in the web gallery.

The soundtrack of this walk is from a piece composed by Jane Harwood especially for the mediascape, played by Jane and Russ Stanley. The video clips were created by me for the mediascape during visits to the park in early 2009, each clip is mapped to a specific area of the park and is 'collected' by the walker as they enter that area. The films could be watched  in the park on the PDA used by the walker, whenever they chose to stop and play back the material collected. All the films were uploaded to the gallery for anyone to watch during the festival and online afterwards.

This walk / short film was created by someone using the mediascape when e-merge (and I, along with a big box of PDA's and headphones courtesy of the Pervasive Media Studio) returned to the ICA for a Sandpit games evening in April.

Another iteration of the playback system, also custom-built by Blindfish, is used to playback walks, compositions and animations in Strata Collective's Soundlines web gallery, 2010. Jane, Russ and myself formed Strata Collective to develop educational work utilising mediascape to explore 'layers of seeing' relating to myths, histories and personal creative responses to landscape.
