Once you have the parameters above you can host your own upload form, we use the jQuery plugin 'uploadify' to implement our upload form. An example of an implementation with uploadify: http://www.flynsarmy.com/2011/03/upload-to-amazon-s3-with-uploadify/

Using the parameters in the example response above you would fill in the gaps as so: 

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
   $("#file_upload").uploadify({
    'uploader' : '<?= WEBROOT ?>files/uploadify/uploadify.swf',
    'buttonText' : 'Browse',
    'cancelImg' : '<?= WEBROOT ?>files/uploadify/cancel.png',
    'script' : '<?=$this->apiResponse->scriptUrl ?>',
    'scriptAccess' : 'always',
    'method' : 'post',
    'scriptData' : {
    "AWSAccessKeyId" : "<?=$this->apiResponse->AWSAccessKeyId ?>",
    "acl" : "authenticated-read",
    "policy" : "<?=$this->apiResponse->policy ?>",
    "signature" : "<?=$this->apiResponse->signature ?>",
    "success_action_status" : "201",

    "fileext" : "",
    "Filename" : ""
},
 'fileExt' : '*.*',
 'fileDataName' : 'file',
 'simUploadLimit': 2,
 'multi' : true,
 'auto' : true,
 'onError' : function(errorObj, q, f, err) { console.log(err); },
