This site is about sharing inspiration through stories and pictures. I hope this post doesn’t violate any self imposed rules. What the heck, I make the rules so I guess I should break them. With the addition of a Flip MinoHD to my travel kit, this site is now about sharing inspiration and stories through the occasional moving picture. The Flip is a great little device for traveling light. It lives up to the hype as one of the easiest video cameras to operate. Little did I know that the included software turns my Mac into one of the easiest production studios to operate. The Flip, and the included software, has its limitations but just like using a single prime lens you can create inspirational movies. This movie was made from a series of clips that I downloaded, ordered, and then with a click of a button fed to the ‘Magic Movie’ machine. I added some music and viola!
I apologize in advance for some shaky footage. I had never operated a scooter before, let alone drive it single handed while I filmed our ‘Road Less Traveled’ tour of Cozumel. I hope you enjoy the movie. It is a precursor to the new content I will be providing next year (it is only a week away).
Click on the ‘Play Button’ and give it a second to load.
Tip: Having never shot footage before, I quickly learned to let your subject inject motion into the scene. Panning only works if you have a hydraulic boom.
