How do we take a video of ourselves signing?

[Valerie Sutton]

Hello Stuart!
That was really great! Great to see you face to face and that was a  
long video (from a data perspective for storage I mean) but they let  
you post it free? Wonderful service and yes...why not use YouTube...

But we have to learn how to take the videos of ourselves first! That  
will happen more and more I am sure...

If anyone has info on how to take videos of yourself on the PC,  
please tell us...

Thanks once again -

Val ;-)
