I like the look of these Karvt Wooden skins for your Macbook Pro (also available for Iphone and Ipad). Made from real wood: either bamboo, maple, pine, and walnut, the skin comes with a 3M adhesive back to attach your device.
How about a wooden Flip Video skin to make your Flip look like a block of wood? Maybe not.
See the wooden skins at Karvt.
I always think that people vote with their credit cards. The Amazon UK Top Selling Camcorder list is updated hourly. Guess which Pocket Video Camera is Number One in the charts?
Graham Love is a school pupil from Aberdeen in Scotland. He makes quirky little films on his Flip Ultra HD and aspires to be a professional filmmaker.
What strikes me is how Graham does some great directing of his movies. He pieces together the visual story and thinks carefully about shot size and angles so it cuts seemlessly. So many Flip movies are just made from one clip and take an easy route but its’ great when you see the Flip used for actual filmmaking. So let’s hear from Graham:
How long have you been using the Flip Video?
I’ve been using a Flip camera for almost 2 years now. My first Flip (Flip Ultra Standard Def) was given as a present. I bought my second Flip (Ultra HD) as I’d been impressed with my old camera. For instance its’ size makes it very handy to take anywhere, picture quality is very good, as is the sound quality. Read the rest of this entry »
I just spotted that Google Images has had a makeover. Above is a screengrab for a search I did on ‘Flip Video’. The new results page allows you to view 1,000 images in one scrolling page before you have to moves to a new page. The thumbnails are bigger which helps you evaluate more easily and there are new keyboard shortcuts (page up/page down) to make searching quicker.
When you do click on an image the picture appears, full size, in a lightbox above a greyed-out version of the page. Nice touch Google.

I love the different ways people are using the Flip Video to boost their business. Cue Storymix Media who offer a service for couples looking for a budget way to get a wedding video made. I contacted CEO Mike to get the lowdown.
Describe the shoot your own wedding service and what it entails?
We know that a lot of wedding couples are on a tight budget and a Videographer just doesn’t make the cut. Other couples are looking for intimate, personal ways of taking footage. Capturing your wedding day on video is one of those things that you might not think about now, but as the years pass you’ll wish you could enjoy those memories on your anniversary or show your children. From personal experience I know I wish I had footage from my wedding.
Our Flip Wedding product consists of a one week rental (extra week(s) available) of a Flip Ultra HD camera (great for everything from the rehearsal dinner to leaving for the honeymoon). We will take your footage and edit it into an enjoyable, short (10-20 minutes) movie with professional transitions, titles, and more. All you need to do is have guests shoot the footage and either upload or send in the files. Read the rest of this entry »
