Flip Video: Shooting celebrity sightings at 2008 Toronto Film Festival - thoughts about the video camera

Posted by ShoVine editor - 17/09/08 at 03:09:54 pm

Now that the 2008 Toronto Film Festival has wrapped for another year - we can take a minute to reflect upon the week that was. ShoVine.com was given a Flip Video camera to try out for the week and see how it fits into our celebrity reporting.

We have to admit on first inspection as we opened the pretty packaged box - we didn’t think much of the Flip. It’s when we started using it - we quickly became impressed with the results. The video quality is what you would expect - standard compressed video you would get from a point-and-shoot digital camera. It’s ease of use and audio quality is where the Flip Video camera begins to really shine. The Flip was just so easy to switch on and begin recording - we could actually take still pictures in one hand - and use the Flip in another. The quality of the audio it recorded also deserves mention - much better than you would expect from a small recording device. The Flip managed to pick up clean dialogue even when the subject was ten feet away. We should also mention one last thing about the Flip - it is an obviously sturdy little device. On two occasions shooting TIFF in crazy mob scenes - the flip video camera went flying out of our hands and crashing to the ground (our fault, as we should have used a wrist strap - which is provided in the box) But we can honestly say, save for a few scratches, our Flip Video continued to record and perform perfectly. ShoVine will certainly be looking to make more Flip Video cameras a standard piece of equipment with contributing reporters.
