Great Ideas for FlipClips
A good FlipClip is built around your short video, and those are easy to make! Here are some simple ideas:
- Get together with your siblings and shoot a quick video that will warm your mother's heart. Have everyone run to the couch, sit, and wave at the camera. It's so easy to do that you can record this scene a few times and pick the best take.
- Hide under the covers with your kids and pets, then show yourselves one at a time. It's simple and cute.
New Covers!
We've just released a new collection of covers that represent the best of motherhood and springtime. These will be great for reminding mom of a touching childhood moment, a family gathering, or something funny you've caught on video.
FlipClips supports two charity events
The United Way of Greater New Haven had their NFL Weekend Fundraiser March 9-10, and FlipClips provided gift certificates for their auction. The United Way is dedicated to community service and helping young kids get a good start through education. We're happy to give to that cause.
Teen with a Dream has their annual dinner later this month (April 28th) and FlipClips was able to contribute gift certificates for their auction. Run by 17-year old cancer survivor, Spencer Harrison, Teen with a Dream provides care-packages to children receiving cancer treatment. Spencer's done a great job reaching out to the community.
Try iStopMotion!
For those of you on Macs, iStopMotion is a fun, easy to use application that helps you and your kids shoot stop-motion videos. David Pogue from the New York Times describes it as, "...the perfect weekend of inspiration and magic and creativity." We've already seen some amazing FlipClips ideas made from iStopMotion footage.
