  What you can see here is that, for this theme, the geolocation data has actually been put on a pin on a map …


This part of the WWDC keynote didn’t get enough attention. At first, I thought it was just an iPhone 4 feature. Then I tried it on my 3GS. Sure enough, after I recorded a video the little location indicator appeared up on the right-hand side of the status bar.

In iOS 4, videos have geolocation data.

It’s not Exif metadata, but still. I can see on a map the exact stretch of beach where I took that great video of me and my friends throwing the frisbee around on our weekend trip, and we can find our way back there again some time. Or whatever. Cue Scott Forstall crazy eyes.

Good video shot on a Flip?

Help me internet, you’re my only hope.

I’m looking for an example of a real video (not a “this is just a test” video or a “here is my baby” video) shot on a Flip MinoHD. I get that you wouldn’t want to go make a feature-length movie or anything with it, but has anyone ever made a good-looking short film on a Flip? Maybe a music video? Anything other than cat videos? Searching for the appropriate terms on Flickr gives me a bad signal-to-noise ratio. Doing the same on Vimeo wasn’t much better.

So. Anyone know of a good video that was shot on a Flip? Answers enabled.
