Thanks to a really cool gift from my parents, a Flip Ultra Video Camera, I’m thrilled that now I’ll be able to add not only photos, but now videos of my own to my blog, and plan on doing that from time to time.
Here’s something from the first day I got to use my new toy, at the PNE. We went with my parents and had a great time. Once again, the highlight of the day for me (and for the rest of our group, I think) were the Beijing Acrobats. We saw them last year, and were thrilled to see them again. Here’s a short video I did of some of their routines. The lighting is not ideal, but most of the time I think you can get the gist of what they are doing. Not bad for a first try, I hope:
I couldn’t get mine up here until I had a friend in Texas order one for me. It is a Flip Mino and should be here this week, fingers crossed. Is there a Facebook Flip group we need to join?
Not sure. If you find one, let me know. I used iMovie’s ‘Publish to YouTube’ function to put this one there. I’ve put a few on Flickr with mixed results (in one case it kept showing a video in its original sideways view, despite multiple attempts at getting it rotated 90° before uploading it).
