We Have Video Blogs To Capture

So I have contemplated video capture for this road trip on more than one occasion this week. I have a pretty slick Sony HiDef camcorder, but I want to minimize its use to prevent damage that will inevitably ensue with 4 rug rats all fighting for their 15 minutes of fame.

I also want to get the kiddos hands and eyes in on the road trip action too, but I don’t want them to shoot hours and hours of fruit loops in the seat cracks either.

Enter The Flip Vide0 camcorders - easy, small, practical and absolutely kid worthy:

And with the handy limit of 60 minutes of built in recordable time, I can limit their total daily video content capture, and hopefully train them to be judicious in their camera work to be patient for laying tape down on the really good stuff.

I hit BestBuy to take a look at The Flip models first hand, and I particularly like the USB 2.0 flip feature… NO MORE CABLES TO LOSE! Woohoo!

I’ll grab a few of the ULTRAs for them, and a MINO for the wife and me, and we’ll be ready to capture every roadkill and car sickness moment with quality and ease. I will edit their video capture every other day or so, and post the highlights right here in the blog for all to see. That way when we blog about your ad you’ll get a special video that will rival one of those highly desired hallmark moments.

Stay tuned for more… we’ll be getting started on video capture in the very near future to put the kids through a mini cinemetography boot camp of sorts.
