Flip Ultra HD and My First Video - Snow Dogs

So, I won a Flip UltraHD video camcorder at Dreamforce.com in San Francisco last month (thanks SalesForce.com). Last weekend, I shot some video and used image and movie making software that comes pre-loaded on the Flip's flash drive. It was really easy to use and fun. I made 3 movies and uploaded them to Facebook for all to see.

The Flip is an great little camera. I'm impressed with the picture quality, ease of use and the integration with social media sites. I am really enjoying the flip and see lots of uses for it, but for work - like how-to videos for marketing automation, web analytics, etc. One of my pet projects is to figure out how to create a chest mount to wear the flip while skiing and mountain biking. I found a case that will fit the Flip at Best Buy and will be modifying it for my chest harness.

Here's one of my videos. I grabbed my skiis and took the dogs out for a quick lap around the golf course pond. I hope you enjoy it.
