No Ice Storms in So California-

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with CELLing Realty CalBRE #01445865

The Flip Video is touted as one of the easiest ways of making Videos.  Heck even a child can do this with no effort.

A good friend gave me one for my Birthday (thank you) and I promised to put a Post up with a Video. Getting them onto your computer for editing or uploading to You Tube or other Video sites is very easy with the built-in USB connection. In fact the whole process is easy.

Here is  one of my first Videos with the Flip with no editing (as you can see) and uploaded to You Tube.  I titled it No Ice Storms here  for all my friends that are freezing :)  Enjoy a December evening in Southern California.

 

 

, thank you

Hi Kathy Mc, this is the name I put in to my recent post, I forgot the G. oops. Merry Christmas and you did great, my videos have not made it up as yet. My problem is that all my videos took up the rest of space on the hard drive and I had no room left. 60 Gbs is all I had on my tablet. Watch your space allocation with videos they use up the hard drive if you store them. Suggest that you delete most of them once you upload. Belive me, they sneek up on you as Sally and Gary discovered.

Wishing you the best ever Christmas and a Happy New Year Kathy. I hope 2009 is wonderful for all of us. All my Best Wishes!

Kathy, your video brings back great memories of my many years in So. CA.  Oh how I love the beach and the ocean.  Low tide is so much fun for children!  Merry Christmas!

Hi Kathy - I hope you had a nice Christmas!  Love to see this first video of yours - someday I'll get up the nerve to work on some for myself.

Merry Christmas my friend!

Carole-I wish you nothing but the best also, an the only warmth I am in control of is the one that comes with my best wishes :)

Missy- I really feel for my freezing friends....in fact it has been pretty darn cold here at the Beach, just not as cold as there, and no snow :)

Diane-Hope you had a great Christmas....and I know the Beach well as we grew up in Santa Monice :)  I remember many fun times with my Grandmother.

Nannette- Thanks

Ann- I was so intimidated by the ones I saw on here, but figure what the heck...:)  Just go for it my friend, like all the other new things you are learning or having to do :)

"I titled it No Ice Storms here for all my friends that are freezing :)"  Ok now that is just outright rubbing it in!!  LOL Looks like you had a great time.  I am curious about the flip but I think my littel camera takes the easiest vid also.  Just set it in the cradel and move the file-thats it!

Can you send some of that warm weather up this way? We are very tired of the cold wet snow! Also, if you send me a camera, I will send you a video of the warm weather that you send with it.

Hi Kathy...Great first attempt!  I've used my Flip but only to take videos of my grandchildren and children.  Typical mom.

Please tell us those folks have frozen toes...or are they just walking on rocks so they don't have to mingle with the squirmy things in the water?

Thanks for the sunset.  Have fun and Happy New Year.

Kate

Hi Kate-No, no one had frozen toes :)  Waling on the rocks is easier as there are just as many rocks under the water and it is easier.  The kids found a few starfish, and 2 Octopi...so I would say yea there are some "squirmy things" in the water LOL :)

Happy New Year to you and yours also :)

Hi Kathy, Happy New Year! That flkr vid. was pretty cool. It made me wish for spring (sigh). I especially enjoyed the childrens voices, the reflection of the palm trees in the water, the hills.... I could go on. It's good to know that using this is pretty uncomplicated. My broker has been suggesting I use video. One more thing for the 'to do' list.
