I discovered this video via my Twitter feed. It’s part of the Doritos Viralocity viral video challenge. Richard Lalonde shot his video entirely on the Flip Camera and he was good enough to answer a few questions from My Flip.

1. Why did you choose to shoot your video on the Flip Camera?

I was introduced to the Flip when I saw the short films made at the Cannes 2008 film festival. I saw the type of potential this camera has for producing a great video. I chose to use the Flip because it is very small in size and you don’t need to lug around film gear. It makes it much easier to get access to locations such as the restaurant I used, once they see that you don’t have a lot of gear and won’t overly disrupt their business.

2. Which model of Flip Video did you use?

I used the Flip Ultra HD.

3. Which software did you edit on?

I used imovie for Mac.

4. How did you handle the audio?

The audio is as is. If you listen you can hear the wind russling in the background during the first scene, then when we are in the restaurant the background noise is very quiet. The onboard mic, does pick up the audio quite nicely, however its not the best when outdoors because it picks up lots of extraneous noises.

5. Although it’s a great camera for the price,  how did you work around the limitations of the Flip Camera?

When using the Flip Camera, you really have to play around with it a lot to get the shot and look you are going for. Making a little video like this with the Flip is perfect because you don’t have to worry about the limitations. The only negative is getting that perfect depth of field that your looking for, cause you don’t have all the lenses you would with a Pro-camera.

We say: At the end of the day the Flip isn’t going to replace a high end DV camera for shooting a fully fledged movie but for experimentation and actually getting on and doing something rather than keeping it in your head – it’s a winner!

This video made me want to head to the nearest mountain. There’s something great about the POV shot that makes you feel like you’re actually on the slope. The video could have been improved by hearing from the boarder before and after and with some ‘live’ commentary throughout the run.

To me it shows how the Flip Camera is so handy for action sports as a compact, low cost unit. If you trashed it you’d cry but it wouldn’t hurt your pocket too much! It also demos how the Flip deals so well with contrast, exposure and keeping details in the white.
