This is an important point actualy, that the research has far reaching applications...not just for my own personal benefit, but other area's of science (microfluidics always springs to mind).

And i'll try and get a shot from inside the helmet, that would look better

Personally I was always advised at uni to avoid special effects (fading etc) just bring the slide up with all the text on it so you don't have to keep clicking away! Good luck, ten minutes will fly by.

Yeah I'd agree with that. Used to have a lecturer who would put writing up and then when she'd made her point would click so that text would change colour to sort of 'stay in the background' and then the next point would come flying in. Too many things happening at once there and if you're trying to notes it's just a pain as you're straining to read what she just said and by that time she's moved onto something else.

I find slides with stationary text can be followed easier, but if you have points which come up as you say them, that's handy too. Then whoever's reading isn't getting muddled with lots of points on one slide. Oh and don't use plain black and white (fairly obvious I guess) as that becomes monotonous (have a lecturer who does that too lol).

Good luck with it!
