Working with the Flip Mino

Flip Mino

One of the perks of my job is that I get to try to try out lots of new tech toys. One of our curriculum coordinators had requested one of the little Flip Mino video cameras. She graciously let me give it a whirl before giving it back to her.

Even though this device (or some version of it) has been out for about a year now, I hadn’t gotten very excited about it. High-quality video cameras are now very reasonably priced, and now even point-n-shoot cameras come with a video mode. The question was – Is the Flip redundant? Would you be better off applying the cost of the Flip toward a better point-n-shoot? I really needed to find out because I’ve got several others requesting these, and needed to know how best to spend our equipment funds.

Seero – Geospatially Aware Video

Posted on May 12, 2008 By Tom No Comments on Seero – Geospatially Aware Video
Geocaching and Maps

In my discussions about geotagging, one of the questions that always arises is the issue what location should be tagged. If you’re tagging photographs, should you tag the location where you took the shot, or should you tag the location of the subject. For example, if you were standing on an overlook on the Blue … Read More “Seero – Geospatially Aware Video” »

Saturday night I sang with the Spartanburg Festival Chorus and the Spartanburg Philharmonic in their performance of Brahms’ Ein Deutches Requiem. The Festival Chorus is directed by Keith Jones, and the Philharmonic is conducted by Sarah Ionnides, who conducted this performance. The Festival Chorus consists mostly of Converse students with some additions from area churches. … Read More “Ein Deutches Requiem” »

Flickr Video Controversy Gets Out of Hand

Posted on April 10, 2008 By Tom 2 Comments on Flickr Video Controversy Gets Out of Hand
Internet, Photography, Rants

The image above from user Brent and Marilynn is about the best Flickr protest I’ve seen. It’s certainly better than the plethora of protest images on both sides. In my opinion, the whole thing has gotten out of hand. The video naysayers have caused more disruption than the addition of videos to the site. It’s … Read More “Flickr Video Controversy Gets Out of Hand” »

Flickr Adds Video

Posted on April 9, 2008 By Tom No Comments on Flickr Adds Video
Internet, Photography

The Blogosphere is buzzing with the news that Flickr has now added support for video. However, they are not striving to become another YouTube. Flickr has always been about photographs, and they are adhering to a strict interpretation of what’s acceptable. They look at these videos as more “long photos” than anything. Basically, just a … Read More “Flickr Adds Video” »

On NPR’s Morning Edition last Saturday Scott Simon had an interview with Dame Shirley Bassey on the occasion of her 71st birthday and the release of a new CD. Bassey is best known for singing the theme song from the James Bond Movie Goldfinger, but has many other recognizable hits, in addition to two other … Read More “Shirley Bassey @ 71” »

William Walker Singing – video

Entertainment, Local, Music

I tried my hand at editing a bit of video from the William Walker Singing last Saturday. I used just the basic version of the Pinnacle Studio software, and was actually pleased with the results. I find it much easier to work with than the Windows Movie Maker software. This clip shows Bill Burns leading … Read More “William Walker Singing – video” »

Tilt-Shift Video

Local Greenville blogger Eric Rogers stumbled across one of my posts about tilt-shift photography and thought he’d give it a try. Eric is a filmmaker, so he took things a step further and tried to tilt-shift a video clip. The results are quite good. Here’s a link to his finished product in Quicktime .MOV format… … Read More “Tilt-Shift Video” »
