MCDM

For around $50 you can turn your iPod into the audio gathering device you need to make your Flip Videos a step closer to being truly cinematic.

The Ridley group is scheduled to shoot between 3 and 11 in the morning, since the sun isn't going to rise until somewhere around 7:15, we"ll be doing most of our shooting at night with the influence of a variety of artificial light sources. From my initial test run during that time slot yesterday morning, in general, the flip ultra handled the conditions remarkably well, producing video of surprising clarity.

I think it's quite possible with the Flip Video, but only with a video tripod.
A video tripod in particular because a camera tripod does not pan/tilt/level like a video tripod. It's these tripod movements that will allow you to pan/tilt or pan & tilt your way through a scene.

Well executed camera movements create an impression of high production value so they are good for the most part. The downside is that when you compress video, movement means larger movie sizes after compression.

Shot with the waterproof Pentax W60 at 320 x 240, 30 fps in Seattle, sped up 1500%.

This week we had to do a video using the Four elements. I had some issues with the Flip camera so I ended up using my iMac iSight camera. Music is licensed under cc. I only used one video transition at the end.
