A Little Boom Boom Pow iFrogz Fun

Posted: June 15th, 2009 | Author: jason | Filed under: Advertiser, Video | Tags: , , , | No Comments »

The kids have adopted the Black Eyed Peas “Boom Boom Pow” video as the theme song for ADRoadtrip this Summer. So, I thought I would have a little fun with it. All the headphones in the video are from the iFrogz EarPollution line. They look great and sound great. They are a big hit with all the kids.

The entire video was shot on the Flip MinoHD (they have free shipping right now), which was really easy to use, particularly when trying to move around and get tight, quick shots. I played with the color a lot in iMovie ‘09, so it created a little distortion when uploaded to Youtube (they compress it a ton).

The Flip was so easy to use - simply turn it on, push the red button and we were capturing great moments (the drumming scene in the video was exactly that way - a live band was playing and their drummer offered to let the kids drop a couple beats, and the Mino got is all).

I hope you like the video, and get a feel for the fun we are going to have out on the road… we are just getting started.
