This is a video of the first of two games of Carcassonne I played last week against Carcking as part of the online league we're both taking part in at the moment:
(I have already checked with Carcking that he is happy for me to share our game via these forums and he is)
The game was played over the internet using JCloisterZone (
http://jcloisterzone.com/en/) and recorded (at my end) using Screen Recorder from Rylstim (
http://www.sketchman-studio.com/rylstim-screen-recorder). Both are free and very easy to use.
After we'd finished the game I edited the video using Windows Movie Maker to remove some of the long pauses due to thinking-time or general lag and sped the whole thing up too (the game is played back at double-speed). The result of this was that the video of our 20-minute game now lasts around four and a half minutes.
The background music was a random acoustic track I downloaded from last.fm (
http://www.last.fm/music/+free-music-downloads). I wasn't fussy about what music I used but didn't want to use anything too distracting and was quite particular about length too. The track I chose is called "Soulful Filling" by General Fuzz.
I used a different version of Movie Maker to add the titles at the start and the still images/ link at the end of the finished video, and to tie the whole thing together before finalising it and uploading the end product onto YouTube.
Overall it was very easy to do using entirely free tools so I thought I'd link to it here in case anyone else has a passing interest in video editing/ Movie Maker and would like to do something similar of their own.
I hope you enjoy watching it almost as much as Carcking and I enjoyed playing it!
