A couple of weeks ago, my wife gave me a Flip video camera for my birthday. Last weekend our church held it’s 7th annual 5K run, and I thought that might be a good place to figure the camera out.
Uhm… there’s not a whole lot to figure out. Press the red button to start, press the same button to stop. I’m giving this the Official Brother Jones Stamp Of Approval. Even WE can use it!
I edited the 70 clips I shot and put together a two minute short on the race which was shown at church the next day. The congregation seemed to enjoy the way (thru Hollywood magic) I had the youth ministers pregnant wife (who was pushing a baby stroller) cross the finish line way before her husband did. Ahhh, the joy of making things up… on paper or on film. Some people would call that lying. I prefer to think of it as being very creative with the truth.

I totally relate with this dwarf.
Dan Lietha
Are those goggles on his head or did he have his horns trimmed? 🙂
Doug Jones
Judging from those ears, I think there is some Vulcan in his ancestry…
Roballoo!
Digital? I’m guessing so, looking at the way you handled the color in his sleeve. But maybe I’m wrong.
Dennis Jones
…yes, yes and yes… those ARE goggles on his head… apparently big ole coke bottle magnifying lens goggles… he’s part vulcan, and it was rendered digitally…

Hey… I was just wondering… what do ya think BEN has been doing on the island for 3 years? Hmmmm….
Dennis Jones
…I was wondering where young Ben would be in this whole scenario since regular Ben is over on the other side of the island right now with Locke… by the way, do you know who plays Ben’s dad in LOST? …the same guy that played Uncle Ricco in Napoleon Dynamite! …I hope he makes another appearance on the show, I get a kick out of him…
Doug Jones
well now… THAT ‘splains the time travel thing doesn’t it?
